Hola! from Cozumel

Tarek got his first hair cut just before we left to Mexico. Also, just before we left Tarek started to say I Love you!, It sounds more like "I LA", but it sure is sweet and melts his mamma's heart.

Tarek hangin' out with dad as we were getting ready to board the plane to Cancun.

The boy's first plane trip. They did excellent! The plane in the background is the plane that we took from Seattle to Cancun.

The boy's first view of the ocean as we were ready to board the ferry in Cancun.

We went to Carlos N' Charlies for lunch and a clown made these for the boys.

Blade jammin' out connected to nothing... in his birthday suit. That has been the norm so far on this trip.

So far, we are having a great time. Jeff and I have made 3 dives. The first to Paradise Reef, Wow! What an incredible sight! We saw 2 sea horses, a huge lobster and an abundant amount of beautiful fish, coral and sponges. It was so much different getting use to a drift dive, I constantly felt like I might be swept into the coral. Today we did two dives, on Palancar reef. The first was more of a wall reef- we went to about 85', we saw two green turtles, a barracuda as long as me (yikes!), and more of the same fish and sponges. The third dive we saw an small octopus hiding in cave, a hawkbill turtle. We are looking forward to diving again in the morning and on Monday we are doing a twilight and a night dive to Paradise reef again.
The one of the two cruise ports is just out our window and we have enjoyed watching the ships come in, in the morning and leaving in the evening. It has also been neat watching the sunset from our balcony. Blade and Tarek have also been enjoying playing in the hot tub in our room. Blade is "diving" for his plastic fish in the bottom of the tub.
