Carribean

Here is a synopsis of our trip, in reverse order, because that is the way the pictures loaded. Enjoy...

Costa Maya, Mexico


Beautiful white sand beaches and our huge cruise ship

El Sinor Gregory
Mock of the Mayan Ruins


Belize
Greg had a fresh Coconut chopped perfectly with a machete.
We took a Jungle Bike tour in Belize. It was so amazing and the trees were beautiful. The locals told us all about how their pharmacy is in their jungle.

These trees hold up everything. We saw some wonderful things here and ate cohunonuts, which are like dry coconuts, and Greg ate a termite.
Isla Rhotan, Honduras
Notice the sunken ship behind us. They have a couple of them, and they were washed up on shore in a hurricane, and then caught on fire, they stripped the boat of everything they could use, and then they left it for a tourist attraction. I guess it worked.

Greg's big guns

They had a very cool beach, so we decided to beach it for the day. We went snorkeling and we both got stung by little Jelly Fish. OUCH!

Cozumel, Mexico

We rented a scooter and road around the island for some adventure.
We found a small church almost in the middle of nowhere, next to some small Mayan ruins.

My favorite spot!!! Carlos and Charlies Beach Restaurant, where you sit on the beach and they serve you yard long diet cokes (well for me) and yummy food. How can you beat chips and salsa in Mexico?
A roasting pirate in 90 degree weather.

We had to take pictures every night of the famous towel animals left on our bed at night.

Formal night

Last but not least, Greg's famous hypnotist show. Greg was known as Garth Brooks for the rest of the cruise. If you know Greg, you will know that he is REALLY hypnotized.

Valentine

Greg and I were on the Valentines Dance comity for our stake this year. It was actually a lot of fun, and we got to dress up and dance the night away. The theme was a night in paris, so we had lamp post's and a star lit night (christmas lights). We had carts of pastries and all kinds of fun decorations. Just call us overachievers.
For Valentines, I decided to start a new tradition, where I hang heart around the kids doors, leave treats for them and love notes from mom and dad
.

Here is Gavin eating one of his treats.
