I warned you that there were lots of Pictures!

So next up on or agenda we went to the beach. Haiden enjoyed playing in the sand. She didn't like the taste of salt water much and had a hard time walking in the sand but enjoyed herself anyways.

These are the nasty iguanas that were always hanging around the hotel. You can see that there is a fence there but it is all broken and bent so some of these creatures sneak out from time to time. Joe loved them I would rather not ever look at them again.


So I saved the best for last. We took a private tour to a couple of the Mayan ruins. There were awesome. Our tour guides were lds and have studied Book of Mormon history for a long time. During the tour they point out and explain alot of things that correlate with the Book of Mormon. They were able to explain how they know when the people were living rightously and when they were not just by the way the temples and structures were built. It was a pretty amazing experience to learn about this part of our history. It would take days to explain what all the pictures are so I won't but you get the idea. We were able to climb up to the top of one of the buildings. We was steep and kind of scary but the view was amazing. The first set of pictures are from TULUM.






These are from COBA. It was fun because all the ruins were hidden in the jungle.





MeXiCo: Warning, Lots of Pictures!

So my little family just returned from Cancun. We spent a week in Mexico and had a blast. Although the plane rides were a challenge with a one year old whom after 5 hours of flying was stir crazy and just wanted to run around, we were glad that we decided to take her with us. She was fun to have around. Every time we would walk by someone (which was often) Haiden would say Hi. Everybody loved her. We spent alot of time in the pool, the weather was REALLY hot! Overall we spent alot of time relaxing and enjoying the mexican culture. We even made it out without getting the Swine Flu!

View from Our Hotel Balcony!



Haiden and Joe in the Pool! We swam alot! It was the only way to cool off!


Haiden and Joe just hanging out! We loved having Dad around without any work interuptions! We especially loved that the cell phone was "out of area" during the week.



Submarine Ride to see the Coral Reef and the Fish! Not the greatest pictures but what can you do from inside a tin can?
