I have so few pictures from Thursday! This was around the time that Logan learned that he does indeed like chocolate milk and started ordering from the bars and restaurants. We spent most of the day around the pools Thursday but it was a bit chilly so we moved along fast and then ended up at the playground for a but in the afternoon before heading back for ice cream..
Because it was kind of chilly and Logan didn't seem to want to be in the pools much (he asked to go home more than usual that day), we had some afternoon ice cream after the playground. This time, we ordered from the ice cream menu!
This cutie with his 3 favs and obviously the chocolate on chocolate on chocolate is mine.
After our late afternoon room hangout to let Logan re group, we headed down to the lobby for Mexican night around 630pm. They had a market set out so we could do some shopping. We got a few things... a dress for Leah, cigars for Aleksy but it was getting late so we headed to supper around 730pm (I also snagged lots of stuff from the ladies roaming the beach with 100 lbs of things to buy on them). It was the night with the best food by far BUT also the night where Logan was not sitting still and not eating and I had to shovel this back and leave with him (and then Aleksy shovel his back and go back to the room). The no nap, later night thing got to him that day!
Friday, we planned to hit the beach early (there at 915!) so we could get a good shady spot and we had the best beach day! Logan played his buried treasure game with coconuts and we had the best spot with lots of shade.
Leah may have slept for a while when we got there, but she did wake up for her first time at the beach/first time in the ocean!
Family picture taken by a sweet lady with an accent (Logan had no idea what she was talking about when she said he had a pelican on his head).
Classic Leah just smiley and loving life as can be. And this picture shows the extra 1.5 lbs that she gained in Mexico.. the only one to gain some vacation weight (the rest of us were subject to Mexicos natural laxatives... but I knew to come prepared with a whole medicine cabinet this time!)
2 happy kiddos= 2 happy parents (+ drinks and beach... best day!)
Saturday was a re-do of Friday since we had such a great day... Beach day again!
Just a couple typical vacationers eating goldfish and peeing through her swim diaper.
Logan is potty trained (just a diaper at night) so we shook up his world when we added the complex of peeing being ok in the potty and pool (so deserving of a parenting award). He had much more accidents than usual that week! He also didnt get how to pee without making it obvious.
Logan was SO excited when he saw all the multicoloured sea doos. These are actually sea patrollers and each colour represents the corresponding pup.
After heading back from the beach, we tried to get Logan swimming but he wasn't really feeling it so we did ice cream then tried to get back to our room where we found that our card wasnt working and we waited for an hour and a half for them to get it fixed with no so much of an apology for the inconvenience of having to fed Leah on the floor ofthe hallway outside our room and Logan napping on Aleksys shoulder.
We asked the front desk if we could have a bottle of champagne for our troubles and he said no! (all inclusive no?)
So I asked where to speak to someone else and we managed to get our apology and bottle of champagne... a nice way to spend our last evening on our balcony. I really liked this bubbly (mimosas in the a were 90% this I swear).
Sunday... our last morning. We had to squeeze in a swim before catching our shuttle at noon.
One last swim for all of us! Logan actually become very unenthusiastic about swimming toward the end of the week (didnt want to go to the splash pad at all!) so we talked him into it by going to the riviera "adult pool"... he loved it!
And by Sunday, he was comfortable enough to swim so independently! He swam all the way to the stairs from there.
And after our swim we packed up our things and headed to the lobby to catch our shuttle. The kids did amazing again with the travels... Logan had screen time for the first time in a week and was in heaven and Leah slept 3 hours again. But by the time Logan got off the airplane and back to the car he was ready to sleep! Both kiddos slept well the way home and we got home around 1030/11pm!
It was a pretty awesome sunny vacation with some great family time and adventures but definitely fast paced compared to our other all inclusive experiences an I decided that when it comes to all inclusives, Ill probably stay away from Mexico now! After travelling to over 10 countries in the world, it seems to be the only one that doesnt agree with me (or Logan.. he took probably a week to have solid poos!).
