Cancun and Merida Mexico

Miriam and I went to Mexico in July. It was amazing to get away even though it was for a short time. We spent a couple of days with some friends in their hometown of Merida and then we went to Cancun. Neither of us had been and we loved it. We both got sick briefly, but that is part of the experience right? We spent a day in Cichen Itza one of the new wonders of the world. http://www.new7wonders.com/index.php?id=396
We laughed a lot and missed our kids a lot. I worked on my Spanish and realized how rusty I have gotten. I am counting the days to go back.

Fun Summer

This Summer has been a busy one. We have had a few trips and a lot of fun. We went to Las Vegas and stayed at a condo, we went to Mirror Lake, Miriam and Tyler went to Cancun Mexico and we just recently went to Bear Lake and to Lagoon Amusement Park. the pictures are of Bear Lake and Lagoon. We had so much fun at Bear Lake. It was the first time Tyler, Leia and Eli had ever been water skiing! Leia and Eli were so brave. Leia almost fell out of the tube twice! The second time she bounced up about three feet and came down upside down and all you could see were her feet! It scared everyone in the boat and we hurried and pulled her out. She loved the speed, but wasn't to fond of flying.
At Lagoon Eli was the master. He has reached the wonderful height in which he can go on roller coasters. He did them all, even the newest ride the wicked that almost killed Tyler! Eli got on and cried a little then we went. http://www.rcdb.com/ig3534.htm?picture=15 here is a picture of the Wicked. Leia struggled through anything that moved she is not yet a fan of the roller coaster.

As a family we have had so much fun this Summer and now it is winding down. Both Eli and Leia have started school again and they both enjoy it. Eli is in first grade and Leia is in pre-school.
