Cancun 2019

a bunch of texts after we got home...so good!
Aunt Cindy "Horseshoes are at 10am at the fun & sports pool- anyone? I miss y'all this morning!"
Uncle Chris "Where is everyone? I am at Tulum standing next to an iguana..."
Dad "Chris, you may be experiencing some early signs of heat exhaustion- recommend you say goodbye to your iguana friend and seek water/shade"
Oma "Room service didn't show up :("
Uncle Chris "Is Dave still on the flow rider?"
Alex "Just now getting these group messages...los tacos tonight at 6? Where is everyone?"
Oma "Be there! We're running a little late. had appt for still another full body massage."
Mom "As for me, I am at Los Tacos consuming chips and guac and sipping on a daiquiri-eye"
Chris H "I'm also at los tacos. uncle rick just ordered tres saucos from Jose"
Mom "Ezekiel just had a blow out"
Aunt Cheryl "I just got run over by the world's fastest golf cart..."
Aunt Cindy "I'm in the 90 degree pool water seeking shade"
Natalie "My team is winning the scavenger hunt w/ just one photo- just found a bald man in a speedo w/ zinc nose and a sunburn AND a visible band-aid"
Mom "I thought we couldn't photograph anyone from our own group"
Uncle Chris "This game is getting personal. Can I change out of this speedo now?"
Aunt Cindy "I'm having a mini quesadilla with the tequila lady that Natalie flipped off"
Mom "I think that might go down as one of the most classic moments of the trip."
Mom "I am currently tickling and shaking Alisa so she laughs naturally"
Alisa "Why is no one in the lazy river with me?! I found chairs in the shade"
Alex "I'll catch up w/ everyone later. Had to stop at the bathroom, my stomach is feeling a bit off."
Mom "Alex- I am not at all sure if you are joking"
Aunt Cheryl "Dad is eating a single shrimp from a large bowl of green bile... that whole dinner tho"
Mom "pukey face"
Madalyn "sour stomach :("
Alisa "I tried to make reservations for a restaurant tonight but apparently they don't take reservations"
Aunt Cindy "I've just ordered 10 octopus appetizers for everyone. They call it ceviche but that's a lie"
Jesus "Hey can you guys use the other group convo that I am not in. I feel like you guys are rubbing all the fun you're having in my face while I hang out in the room with screaming children"
Natalie "Sorry Jesus...I will come switch with you soon"
Mom "Just take them to the fun house mirror place- maybe they'll get lost in there for a while"
Madalyn "Does anyone want to join me at Tulum today? I found a great tour"
Mom "Only if you can guarantee that we will get that same tour guide"
Matt Huchel "I'm coming cause I forgot to get my Mayan name turned into a necklace"
Aunt Cheryl "And can you guarantee that Sandee won't ask any prolonging questions so we don't PERISH? Except we might perish anyway..."
Mom "I just have such a need to know things. And Matt- I'm not sure I ever heard what your Mayan name is"
Nick sent a bunch of group pics he took..
Oma "Nicholas these are great pictures! Do you think I'm the only one with long pants? Why?"
Aunt Cheryl "I *think* you might be, Mother... Love our tans!"
Aunt Cindy "I loooove this picture! Mom...maybe you were feeling a bit chilly that day and threw the pants on..."
Oma "Oh right! ha ha they are the right color though"
Nick crops Jacqi's legs onto Oma... "No worries, grandma! I got you."
Dad "Wow identical sandals as Jacqi"
Nick "weird"
Oma "Oh Nicholas! I'm just weak with laughter! That is soooo funny how you do all those things!"
"I have never had beautiful legs in my life :( Now look at the picture!"

Later, June didn't like any food I was offering her and asked "to go to that place where the yummy tacos are!"

Oma & Opa paid for everyone to go to Cancun- airfare, all-inclusive resort, even matchy tshirts…. so extravagantly generous! It was such a fun trip! obviously kind of hard for us with 3 littles...but so many wonderful memories! we would take golf carts all around the resort so we didn't have to walk in the crazy heat. lazy river, crazy cool playrooms for the kids, wave rider, massages and pedicures for everyone, lots of delicious food, and most importantly time with loved ones. what a blessing!
