We went to Mexico for Will's mom's birthday. We rented a house on the beach with a small pool with Will's brothers and sisters. It was a fabulous trip! We mostly just hung out at the house, beach and pool and ate yummy food. Catherine seemed to like the ocean and since there were hardly any waves it was fine for her to sit in it. She also liked playing in the sand and pool. Elsie LOVED the pool! And kayaking and playing in the sand. We went on a tour one day to see some Mayan ruins. We went to Chichen Itza and Ek Balam where we got to climb to the top of a temple pyramid. It was cool. After the ruins we went to a cenote or underground pool and some from our group swam there. Will enjoyed trying to solve the Rubix Cube his brother brought and getting up before the sun rose every morning. We all got up early (except Elsie) and mostly went to bed earlier too. I enjoyed kayaking and watching the girls and walks on the beach. Will took me snorkeling once and we saw two sea turtles and a huge sting ray. That was the only swimming I did in the ocean and is was sort of terrifying breathing through a little tube! Will and Elsie got buried in the sand and Elsie got out twice before Will could free himself. The whole family all worked on a giant mermaid sand sculpture too.
It was a great trip we ate vats of guacamole and lots of fish which was really yummy. We enjoyed the sun but used plenty of sunblock. Both plane rides went well and we came home to some cooler weather but we were thankful to have great weather in Mexico! Will is talking about where we will go next year already!
