Some favorites from Cancun 2009

3 weeks of laziness is my kind of vacation...We went to Wet n Wild. Hence, the wristbands. The kids had a contest to see who could wear their shredded, torn up wristband the longest. Of course, Blake won. She had hers on until after Christmas, I think.

Diddy wore her favorite Hello Kitty floaties EVERYWHERE. Nana had to buy her another set of beach toys, 'cause Papa let the wave take her watering can. The watering can is most important, and she was very upset. Bad Papa :) and then at the end of the trip, he confessed that he used her new watering can to unclog the toilet so he wouldn't have to call hotel maintenance??? PAPA!!! Sick.

We had some HUGE waves this time. It's hard to tell, but they are pretty far out in the ocean. My kids are all really strong swimmers, but even Lincoln wouldn't go out without a life jacket.

Lincoln had that "beach hair" surfer look the whole time. Loved it.

The kids spent lots of time on the laptop playing Club Penguin by the pool.

Papa always got stuck being the equipment manager, but he didn't mind.

We had the WORST layover EVER in Mexico City. 12 hours, and that is not the cleanest airport. I felt like soaking everything in Purel by the time we got out of there.

Robby refused to go to sleep. He felt like he had to protect us all. Awe. He said he was worried something would happen to one of the kids. He stayed awake the whole time. Carol brought 2 air mattresses and we laid them out in the food court. The kids slept a little, but security kicked us out in the middle of the night :( The stores were all closed, and there was nobody around. We weren't hurting anything. The poor kids were soooo tired.

I can't believe the trip we've been planning for 2 years is already over. It will be a while before we can vacation again. The baby will be here in about 6 weeks or so. And who really wants to take 5 kids and a newborn on vacation??? Only crazy people, I think.
