Happy Easter (another two week letter)

We had a wonderful week in Mexico with Jennie and Caitlyn.  It was slightly overcast a lot of the time, so it was never unbearably hot, and of course, we were never cold.  We received a couple of texts over the course of our trip that showed that those in Utah weren't enjoying such nice weather, in fact, they even had snow while we were gone.  We weren't too unhappy to miss that.  This trip we spent most of our time in the water--the ocean and the underground rivers.  We didn't visit any ruins, other than the ones in Occidental (our resort), and Xcaret, the park that was adjacent to our resort.
We enjoyed Jennie and Caitlyn, but made the mistake of allowing them to use the internet (we didn't know it would be included).  The issue being that only one person (per room) could be signed in at a time.  That caused a few arguments throughout the week.
Since pictures speak louder than words;

Water Aerobics in the ocean

The shuttle driver asked us if they were twins.

In the mangrove

 Fish therapy.  My skin didn't feel a lot different after the fish tickled my feet for 15 minutes.

My idea of a relaxing vacation

Learning how to make chocolate from the beans 

Monkeys.  It was kind of hard to capture them in a picture

A conch shell--with something inside

We got back to reality pretty quickly.  It's kind of a shock to sleep in almost every morning for a week, then get home early Monday morning (12:30 am), then have to get up and get to work and school, etc.  It's probably easiest for me, since I don't have anywhere I absolutely have to be--except fun stuff like a skating lesson and Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.

We saw a few of our grandchildren this week, and received a few pictures of those we didn't see:

Greta is 2 months old

Ruby and Ori went to the baby animal exhibit in Logan

Max and Mav had a fun Easter week

Tai Kwan Do lessons (spelling?)

The zoo, I think.

We gave Finn golf clubs for his birthday.

Effie needs glasses.  They will be pink, these are the sample pair.

a double yoker from our chickens.  It was a huge egg.

We're looking forward to our next vacation--the Galapagos Islands.  We had most everyone who is going over for a last question and answer session with the travel agents.  Bruce and Glenn and Rosilene joined us on-line.
 

Caitlyn was pretty sick from her arthritis medicine this morning.  I ended up taking her to Instacare during Sunday School and Relief Society. Her Doctor and I are going to have a talk this week.  Becky says to get her off of Methyltrexate, that it's a terrible drug.  She felt better after an IV of anti-nausea medicine.

We ended the week with a big Easter dinner with most of the Family.  Crista and Elise and their families didn't make it today. We missed them.

Anxiously awaiting the Easter Egg Hunt
