Photo Challenge: VACATION

How about a cruise to the western Carribbean kids?  Okay!!!

COZUMEL, MEXICO

We were waiting for our snorkeling contact here at the gas station.  

Nathaniel kept trying to touch the fish he saw.  

This guy made a bracelet for Brinley in about 5 minutes total.  I love how the Mexicans are so crafty, eager to make a deal, and hard working!  We shopped at this off the beaten path market where none of the cruise ship passengers were hanging out and bought a bunch of fun stuff.

BELIZE CITY, BELIZE

We went cave tubing here and had such a great time.  We had flash lights on our helmets as we floated through the caves.  It was so neat to see a cave in this way, on an innertube.

coming back from dinner at 10:00 was always so nice because our bed would be turned down and a little towel critter would welcome us back to our cabin. 

Nathaniel told us that Thomas called room service one day and asked if he could have two cookies brought to his room.  They knocked on his door and brought him two PLATES of cookies.  

 ROATAN, HONDURAS

Right when we found our spot on the beach, we found this little hermit crab.  He entertained us the whole time we were there.  

COSTA MAYA, MEXICO

We were walking into town and found this little handicrafts shop.  I bought a little outfit for my future granddaughter and a little black pot. 

The guys decided they wanted a coconut.  I kept worrying that they would get in trouble, but no one seemed to care!

Just use a sharp rock if you want to open a fresh coconut.

We had to haggle with this guy for ages to get all these purses for the price we wanted.  He had to leave and ask his wife and then he had to track down another purse that Madison wanted.  I was so impressed with his determination and hard work to make the sale.  In the end, everyone was happy!

We have a tradition for buying lime popsicles every time we go to Mexico.  They are so delicious and refreshing!

Thanks goes to this handsome hunk for making the vacation possible.  I love you!
