Cancun continued...

Here is the temple, then you have the ring where they hit the ball through in a 7 on 7 game using only elbows knees and hips NO hands and feet it was approx 2o feet high! AMAZING! The most interesting sight to see was this baptismal faunt, then there was the observatory, the Myan people were truely brilliant in their studies of the sun and astrology.

This is at the center of the Arena where they played "ball" this is where they say "kukulcan" (kukul meaning feather and can meaning snake) sat but we call him Jesus Christ ;)




Friday was basically our last full day in Cancun, Deryck and I went to Xel- Ha (shell ha) which is basically a protected cove which was a mixture of salt water and fresh water, you had to wear biodegradeable sunscreen, and you could just snorkel, ride a tube through the mangroves at the begining of the cove, clif dive, ride bikes, swim with dolphins, and caves, they had all kinds of wild life, it was so relaxing and beautiful

Cancun Trip 2010!

We all stayed at an all inclusive 5 star hotel Riu Caribe, this is the view from out balcony.

Beach time! we spent our first day lying out on the beach and hanging with friends

Wednesday Deryck and I went zip lining (not pictured will post later) at Selvatica and then joined our friends on a trip to the Mexican Market. Bargaining is sooooo much fun!

Thursday we all visited Chichen Itza, I have to say this was the best part of our trip, as soon as I saw the ruins I got chills! It was even better because our tour guide new a little bit about the LDS and so it was very insightful.

In like ForeVeR!

I know, I think this is the longest time I have gone without posting. Probably because papa has been cleaning and organizing the space on the computer so I haven't been able to upload or find any of my pictures! He means well;). Here is a quick update on what we have been up to....

Evyn is mobile and fast! She is crawling, climbing and has learned Pat-a-cake and can say mama, dady, and bubble bath, and is now sporting two bottom teeth!

Deryck is going to school, now working for AMP security (same thing as APX) just different company, recruiting a lot of guys and moving up the ladder, he will be back East again this summer. busy busy busy!

Grant is finally has a good structured routine, he is learning how to read, and is now finally enjoying playing with his sister now that she is mobile;)

I have been on an excercise craze and am obsessed with Jillian Michaels workouts, and I ams starting to actually like long distance running.

I promise we will have tonz of new pics to share with all of you after next week, we are taking the kids to Colorado to stay with Grandma Pennie for a whole week! and then its off to Cancun Mexico for Deryck and I for a long awaited vacation in the sun!
