We're Back....

We had a really great time in Mexico but we are happy to be home...we all really missed our little Brayden. Our week was very eventful...I have no idea where to begin..so I thought I would make a list of ten highlights...here they are:

1. The plane to Cancun was delayed by about 45 min due to mechanical issues...once we got in the air, a woman on the flight had a seizure! I just sat in my seat in prayer...but all ended up okay!
2. Chandler celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a bang, literally- he bumped into someone else in the wave pool and ended up with a black eye!
3. We ate a cactus and drank out of coconuts
4. We got to hold a parrot and a tucan (chandlers favorite animal!)
5.We got to swim with 2 dolphins, Padme and Leia, it was alot of fun.
6. We snorkeled and went tubing...the fish were huge!
7. We kayaked, we had our own lake all by ourselves...we really enjoyed it!
8.We walked across a huge floating bridge...that was scary...
9. We did a little shopping at Playa del Carmen, where Chandler learned how to bargain..he got his first pair of Oakley sunglasses like daddies, I got a bag made out of wrappers... its really cool..and we all had a scoop of ice cream to cool off, it was $31.00 or 310.00 pesos!!
10. We went to Xe-Ha and Tulum...it was really neat to learn and walk the land of the Mayans

So now we are home! We got Chandler out the door with little sleep at 6:30am, for his field trip to Williamsburg. I picked Brayden up at about 7:30am. Now, Chandler has ball at 6pm! Clare said Brayden did fine, he was well loved and taken care of ...we are so thankful to them for keeping Bray all week, this trip wouldn't have been possible without them. We are so blessed to have such good friends. The quality time away with Chandler was needed, he is growing up so fast...I want to make as many memories as possible...and we did!! Love you all.
