I know it's been terribly long since a post. My camera has been acting funky and I'm trying to work on a Gabe update. Here's a little something to tide you over...

Hola Mexico!!
Last summer I filled out an entry to win a free vacation to Mexico at Gabe's Gym class. And wouldn't you know that out of the four winners nationally that they give away trips to, we won!! This past week, we cashed in our reward and took an awesome trip to Riviera Maya (20mins outside Cancun).
The resort was geared towards families, but was not over run. Our day consisted of waking up and going right outside to our patio and saying "hola" to all the 'guys' (aka the resort employees) as they walked by.Then we'd get dressed and head to breakfast. We'd usually hit the beach in the morning. Gabe had a ball his first time seeing the ocean and playing on the sandy beach. After lunch we'd head back to the room for a nap. Our room was perfect for a napping toddler. We were on the first floor with one of the pools right outside our room. After Gabe would go down, we'd sit on the patio, and alternate taking an occasional dip, and one would take a stroll to the bar to bring back cocktails and enjoy 2 hours to ourselves on the patio. After nap time, it was usually straight to the 'wa-wa park.' There was an awesome kid's section with a splash park, baby pool and water slide. Then showers and dinner. Next day, repeat.
It was great to get away to a fabulous location, but really to spend five days together having fun as a family!
Now for WAY too many photos...
On the plane ready to go!

Keeping an eye on that shifty character
Beach time
Drumming at the pool
Chillin'
Fun at the splash park
