Saturday July 25th, Excursion

On Saturday, July 25th, we had breakfast, then went to the spot to leave on our excursion.  They came and picked us up right on time.  Our excursion was to do ziplining, ride ATVs, and jump into cenotes.  

A silly raccoon was eating a piece of bread that one of the waiters gave it.

Ready to leave on our excursion.  In the van on our way!  Pretty flower.

We arrived at the place.  They gave us instructions and divided us into groups.

We then went to the zipline place first.

It was the boys' first time doing ziplining.  They all loved it!  

We ended up buying the pictures they took of us during the excursion.  

There were 3 rungs of the zipline.  We all had fun!

Then we were allowed to jump into a cenote there on the property.  Everyone jumped in except Hudson and I.  We went down the stairs to get in.  The first cenote was in a cave.  We saw bats down there also.

Steve, Nyles, Sophia, and Carter jumping in.

Rose, Sophia, Nyles and Carter jumping in.  They jumped in several times.

We then got on ATV's and rode over to the next cenote.  Hudson rode w/ Steve, I let Nyles drive w/ me, Sophia drove w/ Rose, and Carter hitched a ride w/ one of the workers.

The second cenote was open and much larger.  Sophia, Nyles, and Carter took turns jumping off the different levels of platforms into the water.  They went REALLY high!

On our way back.  A picture inside the first cenote.

We then had lunch at the place.  They had spaghetti and fajitas.

On our way back, Hudson fell asleep.  The big iguana in its usual spot on the way to our room.

The kids then wanted to go swimming.  They were having a foam party in the pool when we got there.  I took some pictures, then went to get in the water in the other pool.  It was a lot of fun, until someone groped Steve, even while holding Hudson. Steve then told the kids it was time to get out.  Sophia didn't want to get out, but after he told her what happened, she agreed it was time to get out.  We then swam in the other pool, away from the foam party.

Hudson, Steve, Sophia, and Carter in the foam.

We ate at the French restaurant our third night.  It was surprisingly our favorite one.

The bread and entrees were great!  Steve and the boys got a beef entree.  Silly Hudson.

Pretty flowers.  Steve stretching.  Cool kids.

Carter and Sophia trying on the Mexican hat. Group pictures.

We walked up to the store, and the kids bought bracelets together.  We then came back to our room and played Cover Your Assets.  We didn't have any Hot Tamales (thanks to the animals), but we did have Jolly Ranchers to share.

We had a fun-filled day.  We're thankful we were able to book an excursion, even the day before it happened.  Rose and I had talked to other excursion people in the resort but their prices were pretty high, and not exactly what we were looking for.  Rose then remembered there should be an excursion through the CircleOne group, so we went over there and asked.  At first they said there wasn't any the next day (Saturday), but after asking a few times, we finally made it happen.  It was fun to explore outside of the resort and try new things.  We all enjoyed it!  It was a great day!
