We just got back from a cruise with my family and had a total blast! I would love to show you all the pictures but I took at least 900 so i'm assuming nobody has the time or desire to sit in front of a computer and look at all of my pictures. Here are a few, and when I say a few i mean like 15-20 pics of us and my family in Mexico. Keep in mind they are all skeewhompus so i'll try to narrate what's happening in each, when and where all the events took place. I can say as fun as a trip is, it's always good to be home in your own bed.
This was a shot in Puerto Vallarta. A man selling cotton candy. He obviously didn't sell that much considering the amount of candy still on his pole. Jonathan and I have decided we would love to move down there. It was a gorgeous and classy town.
This was On Wednesday in Puerto Vallarta after Jonathan's accident. The doctor thought it was hilarious how many people were there to "support" us and had to take a picture.
Story:
Jonathan had just dislocated and fractured his finger on the beach. He was playing in the waves and came down on his hand to catch himself, the waves were so strong his finger just popped out. It was a very traumatizing experience as every male member of my family attempted to "put it" back into place. I was crying, Jonathan was in agony and a lot of bystanders were very curious. Jonathan eventually ran up to a nearby resort and they called a local doctor who after MANY attempts finally got his finger back in place. THANK GOODNESS! We decided to go to the doctor's office for X-Rays and discovered it was also fractured right in the spot every one was squeezing to get the finger back. OUCH! The doctor was a great guy and drove us to and from his office with the offer of taking us on a tour of the city free of charge. Thankfully we found a great doctor. Jonathan now has a brace and is doing just fine. He was a brave little patient.
Us is the water at the beach in Puerto Vallarta. One of the only pictures i'm in cause i was the self-designated photographer.
My mom, Staci and Parker all hanging at the beach while the two little girls napped away.
Traci, Kristi, Dad, Sharla and Trina all watching the boys playing in the water.
Jonathan, Tony and Lance body surfing (Pre accident) in Puerto Vallarta. The waves here were huge. It was so much fun watching everybody get slammed onto the beach after their attempts to "Ride" the wave.
Kenzie ready to go out on a shore excursion. She did such a good job and just went with the flow.
She was such a cutie! Both Taylei and Kenzie were stopped by people on the boat at least 5 times a day with compliments of how Adorable they were.
Taylei loving life in her stroller. She was so much fun to take pictures of. Anytime she was sad, all I had to do was point my camera her way and she was instantly happy.
John doing Karaoke. He and Jonathan decided to do it and both did a great job.
Jonathan singing his karaoke. He was singing so loud he thought for sure he would lose his voice.
A beautiful cathedral in Mazatlan.
A market in Mazatlan. The smell was horrible! I can't imaging being able to work there everyday.
The Caca Rocks. They are white because birds sit on them all day and well.... they poop. This was in Mazatlan as well. We had a van tour and visited this cute little shop on a hill with a view.
CABO! PARA SAILING! Need I say more? Well i will say that this was so much fun and scary all at the same time. I'm glad Jonathan talked me into it.
Being up this high in the air was so peaceful but I couldn't help searching the water for dark shadows...
Everyone playing on the beach in Cabo. We had lots of fun in the sun.
A couple pictures of us on the boat. We had a great time!
Everyone eating in the cafeteria. The same food everyday, it kinda gets old fast.
Parker and Uncle "Joshan." These two are buddies and love to play together.
My man looking good in the evening. Can I just say that I am in LOVE!
Last night on the boat.
Tai and Jonathan at the boat safety meeting the first day. We got a good chuckle with these life vests.
Sunset....
Jonathan and Laura on the first day.
Parker and Tai on the first day. We are excited!
I thought this picture was great. The boys lounging on deck and taking it all in.
The other's taking it all in...
Staci and Makenzie the morining we were leaving. It was an early morning and still these two manage to look this good.
We finally made it home! Parker was lucky enough to get a ride while the rest of us had to walk the last few steps to our car and then it was HOME.
