Vacation: Day 6!

Well, hi there!! Long time no blog, but I think I got it fixed so I should be able to start up again...wish me luck!

So back to our wonderful vacation, in April! Woke up and were in Cozumel. Got off the ship and found the perfect photo opportunity!
The kids loved these people. I felt kind of bad for them, standing there all day in the heat in those costumes. My favorite were the guys all painted grey and they acted like statues until you got close then they'd move or say something...funny.
We shopped around a little, spent way too much money and then headed to our Dolphin Adventure. Here's the bummer, they wouldn't let you take pictures, you had the opportunity to buy the ones they took however. Anyway, we're too cheap for that so we just have our memories. It was awesome. Everyone got on their life jacket and got in the ocean. The dolphin came by and we got to feel it and get a kiss!! Rylee liked that part the best, she kind of bailed on the rest of it. The rest of us however got to swim with it! They had us swim out and we got to hold the dolphin, hug it, do a belly swim (it swam next to you, turned over and you grabbed onto their fins and they pulled you around), and then my kids favorite...the boogy board swim. You got hold of a boody board, laid there, and then BAM next thing you know you're flying through the water. The dolphin comes up and pushes your feet with it's nose. It's super strong and fast. So much fun.
After the dolphin adventure we had some lunch.
And then went for a little ocean swim. Found this little guy on our walk. Good camouflage huh?
Is this not gorgeous?? I mean seriously. It was the move beautiful setting.
There were all kind of little fish to see and coral.
Everyone took their time at first.
Logan brought along his snorkel gear so he went snorkeling. He kept coming up and telling us what he saw. See that ship way in the distance?? That's ours!! :-)
The little ones found the swimming pool so we stayed there for awhile. It was great, had a swim platform so both Cody and Rylee could walk around and feel like they were deep but not too deep!

Couldn't get her to stay still long enough for a picture.
On our way out we decided we needed a shot of our favorite excursion place!!
Did a little more shopping and found Carlos n' Charlie's and this fun cake thingy.
Happy faces!
They had a lady going around making balloon hats, and of course...the kids LOVED that!
Another quick family shop before getting back on the ship.
And shock of all shocks, we end up at the putt putt course!
Had some dinner and then zoomed down to the room to see our fun animal...all time favorite here!!! Isn't that fun??
My room had a frog...not as fun as a monkey!
They had a towel folding class that we could the end of, it's amazing what they can do!
And that was the end of our day. Got cleaned up and headed to bed. One more day on the ship and then our vacation is over. So sad!!
Keep watching because I should be catching up soon!! Love and miss you all!
