Fun in Mexico

While in Mexico we had a little adventure with 2 dolphins. We went to a place called Dolphin Discovery where you can swim with dolphins, sting rays, sea lions and manatees. We just swam with the dolphins, we were afraid Pumpkin couldn't handle anymore. She did pretty well as long as Daddy was hanging on to her.

A getting some dolphin love.
She did this by herself. All we did was say, "kiss the dolphin", and she did it! It was too cute.

Guess what Pumpkin learned at church one Sunday?

More Mexico pictures

Great sandcastle, Mexico style.
Pumpkin flirting with the staff. They loved her.
Picture from our buffet. Love the watermelon sculptures.
Our room. It was very nice but do you see the steps down? Do you see the tile? Pumpkin did fall on the stairs once and cried for an hour. She was fine, she was just really tired and cranky. We used the crib to block the stairs, but we were glad to get back home and to carpet!

Pumpkin was not too excited about pictures at this point. She was very squirmy.
Look Daddy, a fountain!
She was so glad to spend time with her Daddy.

Pictures from Mexico

We flew from Orlando to Cancun, Mexico and then took a van to Playa del Carmen, which is about an hour south of Cancun. We stayed at the Riu Palace Riviera Maya which is an all-inclusive resort. The food was pretty good, even though I came down with some kind of Mexican stomach ailment the last couple of days, but it wasn't too bad and nobody else got it so we were ok. You could eat at the buffets the whole time, or they had restaurants on the property you could go to at night, as long as you had reservations. We ate at a Mexican restaurant, a Brazilian restaurant and a steakhouse. The steakhouse was the best, very tasty.

The first thing we saw when we came into the hotel was this gorgeous entryway.
Pumpkin checking out the fountain.


They had one of those infinity pools, it was pretty cool.

Pumpkin was not too keen on the beach most of the time. She is a pretty tidy little girl, she doesn't like to get her hands dirty and I think the sand was pretty crazy to her.
Our beach. Pumpkin didn't like going into the ocean until the very last day, then she stayed in for over 40 minutes. I don't know if it was the surf, or the waves or the taste of the sea water, but she just didn't want to have anything to do with the water.
