Taking off from SLC to Phoenix to Cancun!
Arrived at the resort early in the afternoon and the first thing they brought the kids were chocolate shakes before we had even checked in!
...this is gonna be good...
Next step was picking the different types of pillows we wanted in the rooms and how we wanted the rooms and pillows to smell. Cool.
Lisa and Kaylee playing.
The view from the main lobby.
Three of seven nights looked like this for Brady...the ultimate sign that it was a good day!
The view from one of our rooms at night.
Lisa decided to sleep outside night one.
Breakfast was great every day. Stuffed french toast (banana, nutella, apple compote), fresh fruit in coconut creme, huevos rancheros to name a few...Corn Pops to name another!
ahhh the beach!
Kaylee got in on the action.
The kid's club was cool.
McKay went to every activity each night and during the day. He would not miss any. This was the fire show. There was a disco night and other shows were in the theater, a caribbean show, Michael Jackson, Africa, etc.
Here we are on a beach bed...it's a king size bed about 10 yards from the water...they will have these in the celestial kingdom. Beach bed butlers...probably not.
Kaylee liked the beach beds too.
View of Caribbean from one of the rooms.
Lisa enjoying a drink by the pool.
Lisa making stars with fingers in the pool with the boys.
Jana and Lisa when they went sailing with Javier. He took all of us out to the coral reef. The water was crystal clear.
On our way to dinner one evening.
Brady and Bryson at the swim up bar getting chocolate milk shakes.
Happy kids!
This was the Italian Restaurant.
Great personality shot.
One of many amazing desserts.
Kaylee is pulling Brady's hair, McKay is at the Michael Jackson show and Tyler is in the bano from all of the drinks he had...all of the boys frequented the bathroom as a result of their drinks all day.
Lisa, lovin it!
Jana and Ryan on the sea kayak.
Just playing in the sand.
McKay after riding the electric bull...the bull won.
Another day on a beach bed with some great lunch on the beach. Wow!
I got some volleyball in nearly every day and made some good friends in the process. They were from Canada, Croatia, Russia, New York and Germany. It was a blast.
Kaylee was a little off schedule, but was so good.
The whole family fit on this swinging bed in one of the bar areas...so fun and relaxing!
Some local merchants brought their stuff into the resort. We found some good stuff and enjoyed just hanging around.
Tyler and Lisa before dinner.
Jana and Kaylee.
Another great dinner!
Churros with hot coconut creme for dipping and a lava cake, Tyler had to try the flan too. This was at the latin restaurant. So good!
Forced family fun...
Great memories.
Conference on Sunday in one of the rooms. We watched it on my laptop via the internet.
The lovebirds.
The girls.
Monday morning, last breakfast. That breakfast burrito is wrapped in jicama. It was as good as it looked.
McKay playing ping-pong with one of his many new friends in Cancun.
Getting some last drinks before heading to the airport...
...and visiting their favorite room.
Ryan working his magic with Kaylee.
Steve and Lisa.
So much good food!
On our way to the airport, nobody wanted to leave!
We hope to come back soon!!!
At the Cancun airport where we spent way too much on burgers and pizza.
Brady loved flying, the take-offs especially. We had such a good time together and made some nice memories. It was great to be with Tyler on such a special vacation before he leaves to serve his mission in Everett, Washington. As with most of our Spring Breaks, we went from sun and ocean to snow!
