Cancun!!!!!!

Well we got back from our trip to Cancun last night, and I have to say that we had an awesome time.  We were there for a week with Aaron's cousin Jason and his wife Shannon.  We drove down to Tulum and saw some ruins,we walked around the markets and bought some stuff, we ate tons of good food, we chilled by the pool and soaked up the sun.  Aaron and Jason bought boogy boards and played in the surf for HOURS on end!!!  We went snorkeling the last day we were there and Aaron got stung by a jelly fish.  OUCH! And the best part was that we went to Cancun expecting a ton of rain from the weather forecast, and we didn't get rained on once.  We had very good weather the whole time.  While we were gone a TON of stuff happened back home.  Ty had is first birthday (I am so sad we missed it.)  Dave and Lisa had a baby boy born 3 1/2 weeks early.  He is sooo cute and tiny.  He only weighed 4 pounds 13 ounces (I think that's right).  I can't wait to hold him.  Nena ended up having emergency surgery because she had an ectopic pregnancy and one of her tubes ruptured.  She is recovering well and is doing good.  Chuck and Sandra's basement flooded.  And to top it off my dad ran a half marathon and I guess the papers thought it killed him because his obituary was in the paper the next morning.  An 86 year old Doctor named Tom Saunders died and they got my dad's life and his mixed up and then put a big picture of my dad in the paper instead of the REAL Tom Saunders who died.  My dad was getting calls all day from people hoping it was a mix up.  So my mom and dad were not only busy watching our kids but busy with everything else going on.  Thanks a ton for watching the boys in such a busy week.  Here are a bunch of pictures from the trip.  ENJOY!!
This is "one" of the lobby of our hotel.  This place was huge.  It took Shannon and I a couple of days to find our way around.
On the beach at our hotel.  The sand was like flour, and the water was so warm and so blue!
Aaron and Jason playing in the waves.
This is at Tulum.  It was so cool because all the ruins were build on the side of the cliff.  It was awesome. 

We found a hermit crab!!

Aaron and Jason at Tulum.

We went to 3 movies there.  This one sucked.

Ok, this picture was taken to show that Aaron was sharing a meal with me.  This has never happened.

Aaron's jelly fish sting.  His whole arm went numb.  

We went to a restaurant called Chocolate City.  This is us with the Mexican Willy Wonka.  It was so good.
Yummm.


At the airport in Cancun we went to Bubba Gump Shrimp factory.  It was so good.  This is a picture of the coconut shrimp.
