Happy Fathers Day 2009

Happy Fathers Day Neil. I am so grateful to you for the kind of father you are. Your example to serve and give is something each of our children have learned from you. You are always so much fun. You make us all laugh. Your heart is tender and full of love for each of us.

We love you so much and are so very blessed to have you in our lives. Thanks for all you do!

Neil enjoying Aaron's card. I love his face in this picture. 

You can just see his love and enjoyment of what Aaron wrote.

Neil and Special K (Kinsey) Poor Kinsey got the H1N1 or swine flu. Poor thing. 

She didn't get it from Mexico she got it from a friend who's family all have it. 

She has been so sick. But she wouldn't not take time to celebrate her Pops. 

Charmer and her Pops. Sammy is so sweet she gives Neil a kiss every night. 

Sam your one of a kind.

Neil and his best Pal Aaron. These two are twins. 

They look alike, act alike, sound alike and are each others best friends. 

They have so much fun together. 

King for the day. Neil I love you so much. I am proud of you. You inspire me. I love all the things we do together, I love our special bond. I love to look in your eyes and see the love that shines forth.  I love to watch you and see the little things and big things you do for others. You inspire me. Your a quiet giant one who does not boast of himself and one that gets his purpose and drive from serving others. I wish for you all the good desires of your heart. I love You!

Swimming With the Dolphins

This was for sure the kids favorite thing of the trip.

Kinsey has had this as a dream to swim with Dolphins. Dream come true!

Sammy Charmer with the Dolphin. He is smiling.

Aaron was a little timid at first..but loved it.

This is the Dolphin push. Each Dolphin pushes on a foot and they take you flying for a ride.

Look at her face. She is loving it. Kinsey for sure went the highest.

Sammy Charmer going for her ride.

Aaron doing the Dolphin dance.

The dolphins warmed up to Kinsey right away.

Sammy dancing.

The dolphins were so cool. My favorite part was watching the kids faces. They were all smiles and glowing. On the plane ride home Kinsey was writing in her journal and she turned the page to show Neil. She had written her bucket list and on it was swimming with the dolphins and she had checked it off. That made Neil smile just as big as she had with the dolphins.

Tulum

This was such an amazing day. Going to Tulum was one of my favorite things.

Of course the boys found lizards. There were Iguanas every where.

The view and Ocean were amazing. It was HOT and HUMID. But so AMAZING!

Tulum is Mayan ruins. It is a village on the side of a cliff over looking the ocean. 

It was an amazing day. The views and ocean were something else.

Look at that view. It is like a post card. So beautiful. Love that boy in the photo too.

My kiddo's. Love these three so much. It was so hot and humid. 

We were melting and stripping to our bathing suits by the end.

Love the view. I wish eveyone could go here and see this.

The kids like to tease me because I am afraid of heights and this was on the edge of a cliff .

So glad Tulum was one excursion we chose. It was AMAZING!

Jungle Cruise Snorkeling,,,Cancun

We had such a fun time on our vacation to Cancun Mexico. 

We went on a jungle cruise/snorkeling trip.

The kids drove a boat and Neil and I drove a boat. We went thru a river/jungle and into the ocean where we stopped and snorkeled by the reef. The reef in Cancun is the second largest in the world next to the one in Australia. 

Thumbs up for Snorkeling

We loved it!

We saw so many amazing fish.

The water was crystal clear and warm.

Such a great time!

Sammy and Kinsey all ready to go.

Neil and I

This was such a fun activity. We can't wait to go snorkeing again some day.
