Cancun January 2009

Cody and I just returned from Playa Del Carmen. It is 35 miles South of Cancun. The weather was less then perfect since it rained almost everyday. We still managed to enjoy our wonderful vacation. It would be hard not to be thankful for our vacation since it is so cold back here in Utah. We accepted the rain very easily since it was snowy back at home. We went to Xel-Ha which is a natural water park about 60 miles South of Cancun. Xel-Ha (Shell-Ha) was so much fun! We got to go snorkeling and ride down thier natural lazy river. The natural inlet is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. We also got to take a ferry over to the Island of Cozumel and take a private scooter tour of the Island. We got to snorkel along a natural reef that was filled with fish! We got to stop a lot along the way and visit some mayan ruins, a light house, the Bob Marley bar, a natural lagoon with Croc's, and see some amazing blow holes! We had such a great time and it is always so nice to get away; However, it was really NICE to come home and see Makayla!

Christmas

Christmas... it may have some of the best moments of our year all summed up into one day. Watching Makalyla open all of her presents and enjoy them was so much fun. The "my size barbie doll" was probably the funniest thing of all time. She was dancing and singing to it. Of corse all this was happening at 6 am which could have made anything funny! The the barbie's leg came flying up and both barbie and Makayla went down.
