We are so blessed to have a wonderful family that likes to take family vacations. And when I say family I don't just mean Chris and I and I don't just mean the Beaver's. I am talking about Holly, Walt & Blake Beaver; my Aunt Lynn & Uncle Joe Pierce; my cousins Kerri & Troy and their kids Cooper & Kriston Noard and my other cousin Tony. So in total there were 12 of us traveling from Chicago, Indy, Michigan and Philly to meet up in Cancun, Mexico for a week of fun!
We stayed at the Moon Palace Resort & Spa and of course they had a casino, though we didn't bet any $$ my Aunt and Mom sure did!!
The weather was beautiful, hot and sunny and windy and the one thing we didn't think about was that the pool might not be heated. And boy the pool was cold, I didn't even get in the water all week. Most of the men did b/c it was faster to get in the pool to go to the bar than to walk to the bar.....
We had fun with Cooper & Kriston. Cooper got to go with the big boys to play golf a couple days and we hung with Kriston at the pool. What great kids!
Kerri, Chris and I did the kayak one day for about 30 minutes which was a great quick work-out! Chris was smart and let Kerri and I go together and he took a single kayak!
Each night we ended up in the lobby bar and a few of the nights Mom decided we needed to do tequilla shots (though I didn't partake b/c I am a wimp!). And it wasn't ever just one it was always at least 2 shots and they started with the salt on the hand and ended with the lime!
We ate a lot, drank a lot (mainly a drink called Miami Vice which is part pina colada and part strawberry daiquiri) and had a lot of fun. And I didn't get sunburned which is very important, just ask my Dad (though I did get scolded b/c I brought down sunscreen with SPF 8 though I also had SPF 15 and SPF 50, but you should never wear anything below SPF 15 according to my Father).
Thanks to everyone for such a great trip! Oh and thanks to Tim, Diana, Jacob and Will for taking Randi into their home for 10 days and taking such great care of her! We appreciate it!
