Mexico!

Well, after weeks of asking "Mama, where dat Mexico go?", Alexis finally got to go to Mexico! We started the trip off with a bang when Alexis threw up twice on the airplane. *** Note to all parents... pack yourself an extra shirt in the diaper bag, because it is not fun to wear a puke covered shirt for a four hour flight.*** But anyways, we finally made it, and here are some pictures from our vacation.

Alexis in the sand... this is on the first day, before she realized that sand makes her hands and feet dirty... and for anyone that knows Alexis, dirty is not an option in her little world!


Gramma Debi holding two little monkeys...


Although Alexis did not like the beach, the sand, the wind, the sun, or the regular pool, she did enjoy the baby pool...


And she loved the park!


Alexis and Gramma Debi with a macaw...


We saw this big guy several times hanging out on the path near our room...


Knocking back a few cold ones...



Mexico is full of sinkholes that are full of water, called Cenotes. We stopped to visit one and took a dip. The water was 70 feet below ground level, and then 150 feet deep. Here is a picture from down below looking up...


Cort and I decided to go in the scary way, by jumping off of a 15 foot cliff into the water. Look closely... that is us on the left side, jumping in!


Visiting Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza...


Parasailing!!!
