our mexican thanksgiving

Okay, I'm finally getting my act together and posting some pictures of our Thanksgiving trip to Mexico. Good thing, since Christmas and New Years have already come and gone too. (Sad!)


Weather was perfect. The pool was cooler than the ocean, believe it or not. Which meant the ocean made for perfect night swimming in the moonlit waves. So fun. Sharks and minnows is more fun in the pool at night too.

Of course, we ate more than our share of delicious Mexican food and downed plenty of piƱa coladas.

We snorkeled, scuba dived, zip lined, cliff jumped to our hearts content.

Christian was fascinated by all the iguanas -- and the parrots, lemurs, dolphins, manatees, geckos, etc.


A small group of us made the trip to Chichen Itza. Unfortunately you can no longer climb the pyramid. They've finally decided to protect one of the world's Seven Wonders. Lucky for me I did that years ago but Shane was definitely disappointed he didn't get a view from the top.

The whole family minus our missionary, Chad.
