I have loved how Jesse has jumped on the regular band wagon with me. I want to take credit for it, but I think his buddies at the station got him into it. I'm so happy. Because it gives us one more thing to share together.
We checked out the "gym" here at the resort and it only had 4 cardio machines. But we didn't want to run on a treadmill when we could go run on the beach. Which I've actually never done before so I was looking forward to doing that. And it's WAY harder than you'd think. We were trying to stay down by the ocean where it was more packed but it had such an incline that it was tough to run on. In certain spots we would go up higher on the beach where it would level out, but it wasn't wet so it was quite the workout to get through. But I like it.
As we were running along, we came across freshly hatched Sea Turtles that were making their way to the ocean. It brought back memories of when we were here 10 years ago and this same resort (Velas Vallarta) had a bucket of Sea Turtles to release into the ocean. Puerto Vallarta is known for their conservation of Sea Turtles and a matter of fact Velas Vallarta has a nursery that they keep of eggs waiting to be hatched.
So when I came across these guys I knew it was ok to pick him up and snap a quick picture. And then release him to the ocean.
When we came back from our 3 mile run we told our family all about what we saw.
As the day progressed on the boys were finding little sand crabs while they were digging. What a treat to encounter these creatures.
I love that Cy is brave enough to pick up this crab. And to be totally excited about it.
I enjoyed seeing the boys playing in the ocean, and especially when Tyson and Jesse and Dad would play like kids with them. While we were playing at the beach Mom, Dad and Emily walked to the airport to pick up Andrew. Sterling stayed behind with us so he could play with us.
The resort had a beach volleyball court, tennis courts and ping pong tables that we could play with at anytime. We were all sick of being at the beach that we moved up to the pool area. While the boys were playing in the pool, the girls lounging in the chairs, the Men played Ping Pong with each other.
Every morning Mom was so good about getting us reservations for dinner, There were 2 restaurants at the resort. One was more casual on on the beach (that's where we were with the Mariachi Band last night) and this one is nicer and inside the resort. It was our first time all finally being together for a meal. And it was nice!
The food at the resort is very good. There are only a few things I haven't liked so far but everything is top notch.
2nd night in a row that he ordered Spaghetti. And even though it's quite a large portion he seems not to have a problem eating all of it. These boys played so hard today that they didn't really eat very much. Which made them melt down before we headed to dinner. Lesson learned that the rest of the week that we need to make them take a break and eat lunch.
