After waiting since July we were finally on our way to Puerto Vallarta with Jesse's family. We had all planned this so many months ago that it was weird that it was already here. The boys have been looking forward to this and counting down the days. As it got closer they were saying how bad they wanted to go to Mexico and not go to school.
So even though we had to wake them up around 4am to leave for the airport they were very giddy about finally being able to go.
My mom was so gracious to take the week off from work to take care of Fynn for us. So as we were leaving the house with Fynn asleep still a little part of me felt sad. Don't worry we didn't just leave him in the house alone. My sister Chantel and her new hubby are renting our basement from us. So Chan drove us to the airport and Tyler stayed behind with Fynn. My mom was planning on coming up later today to pick up Fynn and take him to her house the rest of the week.
The boys were champs the whole plane ride. They had packed their own backpacks full of snacks and things for them to do. On the 2nd plane ride Grandma Heidi gave Cy (and Sterling) a sticker book and Ryker a book to read.
I've mentioned this before but Jesse is required to take a certain amount of vacation days off which turns into a consecutive 17 days. The tail end of the 17 days was this trip. What a great way to end some time off with an actual vacation. He also hasn't shaved in 10 days and doesn't plan on shaving the whole trip. I'm kinda liking the scruff for a little change, Leading up to this vacation he also lost some weight and has really toned up. I'm very proud of his hard work! Looking forward to spending 24/7 with him in Mexico.
That book that I mentioned that Ryker got from Grandma Heidi? Well to much to my surprise Ryker read the whole thing in only a matter of a few hours. Unreal. This kid is awesome and I enjoy seeing him be so engulfed with his nose stuck in a book.
We finally land, get our luggage, go through customs and find a taxi to take us to the resort. We don't have our whole crew yet. Andrew is flying in tomorrow because he had to take a Final today. Tyson and Tayler are flying standby with her Flight benefits.
Once we were all checked into the resort, got our room keys, towel keys and the fancy gold bracelets that allow you to eat and drink whatever and whenever you wanted, we didn't waste much time to put it all to use. We changed into our swimming suits and headed to lunch. And man we are loving the 85 degree weather and blue skies. We had heard from friends, family and the news that there was a big snow storm that came in almost right after we left Salt Lake. We are feeling happy to be in the sun and not the snow,
The boys were aching to go play at the pool. So we let them of course.
I have a feeling it's going to be a good week.
For dinner the boys ate their hearts out in spaghetti. These 3 have been inseparable already. I have a feeling they aren't going to be apart all week long. Ever since Andrew and Emily moved to Logan for school, the boys don't get to see Sterling nearly as much as they used to. Really only once a month. So getting to spend every breathing second they can with him this week is going to be such a treat for them
We all loved when the Mariachi Band coming around to the tables. Especially when they started to sing Feliz Navidad. I usually don't care for that song, but it was so fitting for our setting and the season.
After dinner we went to the "Circus Show" that the resort put on. Most of it was very impressive. There were some very unique talents from the performers that was very intriguing to watch. There were a few moments that were just weird. But overall it was fun.
Since we have been traveling since 4am Utah time we are feeling tired at this point and decided to call it a night.
