On Sunday I got back from 4 of the most fun and relaxing days I've had in a while! I took a girls' trip to Cancun with a couple of close girlfriends, thanks to our amazing husbands and other family members that were able to pitch in and help with our 9 total children!! Here are some pictures from our trip. We didn't do much of anything but enjoy the sun and the pool, eat and have some yummy beverages! Oh, and a little shopping our last day there. :)
Not a bad view of the ocean from our room, considering it was a "garden view" room.
Beer in Mexico by the pool is so much yummier!
The pool waiters dropped us off a fun drink in a real coconut! That thing was heavy! At least 10 pounds! Good arm workout while you're drinking, I guess. ;)
Walking around the pool area (which was amazing, by the way) we had to take some pictures of the place and the view. :)
Blessed by their friendships!
The one night we got "dressed up" for dinner.
They had some cool birds around the resort. Photo opt with one....
Then they brought a few more over. They were so well behaved!
The last full day we were there, some baby sea turtles (that they had been protecting and maintaining on the beach) hatched and they were going to release them at dusk into the ocean. They invited a few guests down to be a part of it. They kept them in this little crate until it was time. There are 13 total.
I couldn't believe when they offered for us to hold them! How crazy! They were so adorable.
So we walked down to the beach about dusk and hung out with maybe 20 other guests until it was time. We met some fun people and everyone was so excited to watch this!
Holding our babies with our resort in the background.
I took a video of the release because we were all a little sad that we got to do this and our kids couldn't be there to see it. What a fun experience! And even though the video isn't great, my kids still got to see what it was like.
That was a great way to finish our trip! The next day we did a little shopping and lunch before catching our flight home. I was happy to see Eric and the kids after a fun getaway!




















Looks like great fun!! Good for you ladies.
