Summer Vacations 6

family trip to riviera maya, mexico

Our other trip of the summer was to Riviera Maya, Mexico.  Since my family was all in town (Bekah back from college for the summer and Abby back from mission trips) my parents took us to Mexico!  It was so nice of them and a perfect way to end the summer.

Here we are at the airport at 5 am!

Eating escargot!  I like it (don’t mind my face – the texture is what bothers me), Charlie did not like it.

Riding giant tricycles in the water.  I am not with Charlie in this picture because as soon we got on it, he sliced his foot open on the peddle – not good.
