Dan took us on the best beach vacation to Cancun! The only hang-up was that Alex couldn't go with us. Boo! Our first spring break without him. He is currently planning his 'pity trip'.
When you go on vacation with the annoying brother. ;)
The beaches were beautiful!
We spent 2 days visiting the shore. Both days Ryan spent a large majority of the time digging pits.
A 2 seater!

It was actually pretty difficult to get him out. He twisted his knee on one of his escapes.
We stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott. Dan got a free upgrade so we stayed in a 2 room suite. The hotel had 2 rooftop pools.
Our first excursion led us to the Aquarium. Dan and the kids went on an AquaTrek, where you wear a helmet and go under water inside an aquarium. There was no warning sign saying 'WATER IS COLD' but the kids with their <15 BMI's were freezing! *see additional post with pics from inside the tank

Sole fish. Weird.
Our second excursion took us to a Zipline place. We did not purchase these pictures, so we have nothing of our flights. But it was very fun and a beautiful day.
They took us to a cenote, watering hole. I was afraid of cold water, so I did not participate. But Ryan and Dan had a great time.
We were blessed to have an interpreter with us to teach us the Mexican ways! Here we are exploring the panaderia.
Sibling bonding time.
This was a deep pit!
The gimp ramp ran into an 'under construction' wall.
Xel-Ha nature and water park.
No squirrels here, just iguanas.
Ryan and Macey wanted to do the dolphin excursion. I was nominated to join them. *see additional post with pics
The other excursion that Dan volunteered for was motorized snorkeling.

We went to the mall food court for dinner one night. KFC, PIzza Hut and a taco shop. Sopes, yum!
The weather turned on Sunday so our snorkel trip turned into a freezing, rough boat ride to a party island.
On Isla Mujares we went on a golf cart tour.
Ryan picked a coconut for Macey.
She learned that she does NOT like fresh coconut water. She later learned she does not like unsweetened a.k.a. natural coconut. Live and learn!
There was spiderman decor all over Cancun. Macey joked that they must really love Tom Holland (the girls in our family prefer Tom Holland, the boys Toby Macguire.)
Ryan made it one week without Panda, but thankfully the airport was able to supply this (pricey) need!
