Jeff and I just returned from a couples trip to Cancun, Mexico. We had a blast!!! But before leaving the boys with Grandma Peterson for a week, we took them on a pretend vsit to "Mexico" right here in Utah....
We took them to see the cliff divers and eat Mexican food at the Mayan and then went swimming at the rec center afterward. We all had a great time and Will kept saying how much he loved this vacation! Too funny!
Then Jeff and I flew off on our own visit to the real Mexico. We stayed at an all-inclusive resort and went snorkeling with the fishes, ziplining and biking through the jungle, lounged on the beach soaking up the sun and perfect weather, played in the waves and did as much of or as little of anything that we wanted for an entire week!! It was so amazing!
We went with 3 other couples which was nice because we could hang out as a group or in pairs or whatever we wanted! It made beach volleyball all the more fun with the group! But walks on the beach were nice with just the two of us...But I really missed my boys while we were gone. I kept seeing little families just like mine with a mom a dad and two little boys, each 3 years apart in age, and it just made me miss my little family more and more. I almost had a break down on our last night there. Thankfully, the boys were having so much fun with Grandma that they forgot to miss us, although they were very happy to have us home with them again too!
We brought them the above Mexican wrestling masks and they LOVED them, just like we knew they would! They ran around fighting and wrestling in their masks and underwear all day long! They are so freaking adorable!!! It was a fun end to a great vacation!

Sounds like so much fun! Kyle and I hope to do something like that in a couple of years. I know what you mean about missing your kids. When we went househunting in England (almost 3 years ago) we left the kids with grandparents and I cried myself to sleep at night because I missed them so much although they were fine.
Oh my goodness...my boys would love those Nacho Libre masks too! All they do is wrestle. The masks would be perfect. How fun is that? I'm glad you got to have so much fun with your husband. It sounds wonderful. Just so you know. I always read your blog. I thought I'd tell you since sometimes you wonder whether anyone is really reading this stuff or not. Love you. April
We should all go to the Mayan sometime together. Our boys love to go, and we were just saying the other day that we haven't been there for a long time! It would be a fun day to go with your boys! Love your pictures!
