Mexico

This last summer we took our family vacation to the boys favorite place Mexico! We loaded up as usual and were lucky enough to have Mimi and Papa with us! It was such a relaxing fun trip . Daddy and Papa played lots of golf. The boys and I spent every morning eating breakfast with Mimi and then heading out to the beach . Nathan even went boogie boarding with daddy a few days and loved it until he wiped out on some rocks. Nolan's favorite thing was being buried in the sand . He would beg everyone to bury him and if they weren't fast enough he would just do it himself. They were in heaven ,I saw more smiles in one day there than I think I have in a month at home. After the morning in the sand we would head back up to catch Daddy and play by the pool. Both boys took naps everyday! It is Mexico so in true Mexico fashion we took siestas. Have I mentioned how much we love Mexico? :) On the last day we had an amazing trip planned for everyone. We signed up to go out on a boat with a real marine biologist and track a pod of Dolphins. Our guide has been working with this same pod for years and years and actually knew them and had names for them. Before we got on the boat they taught us a lot of things about dolphins and conservation. We learned how they communicate with each other. How the whole pod works and how they are always together. After we headed out to the ocean to find them. We had a beautiful boat ride all around since they seemed to be out of their normal territory. After a bit of sailing we found them. The guide would just say jump in and you had to dive all the way down in the water to see them. I didn't get close enough to them to feel them but Daddy got up close to one. The group of them were swimming around and we even got to see the babies! Nathan and Nolan stayed on the boat with Mimi and Papa watching the little ones swimming and jumping with their moms. It was the coolest experience ever to be able to swim with the dolphins and see them in their own free environment. The kids were very excited and have talked about it every since. We headed back to the hotel for another yummy dinner and to pack up since we had to leave the next day . It is always so sad when these vacations end but we sure did have a great time! The whole week was just perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better time spent with our amazing family :)
