White Sand to White Snow

We have been back from Mexico for a week now and we finally feel like we have our feet under us again. It is incredible what a difference in climate there is with a 6 hour airplane ride. We went from walking on a white sandy beach to trudging through white slushy snow. Kevin and I had a great time and it is great to be back with our boys. Here is a picture of the snow here in Boise. The snow has not melted all week because it has been so stinking cold. We are expected to get a lot more this week too. Time to get ready for skiing and sledding!

Mexican Cowboys!

Since we have landed in Cancun Kevin had his heart set on going horseback riding. So we woke up early this morning and headed out for a ride in the jungle. When we got there the cowboys asked everyone to stand to the right if they were inexperienced horse riders and to left is they were experienced. Of course almost everyone stood to the right, except Kevin and Bobbi. They said they were taking one for the team. Kevin had a horse named Turkey and he came by his name honestly. He kicked the crap out of my sweet horse and everyone else's too. Everyone was afraid to go near him. Of course he and Kevin butt heads the entire trip because they were two stong willed beings. Anyway I had a very good horse, but I was reminded that I have a strong fear of horses stemmed from child hood experiences. It is almost like some people are with going to the dentist. However, at the end of the ride they took the saddles off the horses and took us swimming with the horses. It was amazing. Kevin and Bobbi talked the cowboys into an extra swim for $20. After horse back riding we came back to the resort and Brenda and I laid out while Keving and Bobbi made more friends at the bar. Love to all and we will keep in touch.

Here we are going through the jungle. We saw a crocodile in the swamps and big huge spiders.

This is me way out swimming with the horse.

Hello From Cancun!

Hello from Cancun! This place is amazingly beautiful. The water is aqua blue and weather is always warm but not too hot. I would strongly recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a vacation. We are fully taking advantage of all the food all the drink you can consume. Our friend Bobby drank 26 pina coladas yesterday. We miss you all and will keep you updated.


This is Kevin and I getting ready to go snorkeling.
