Back to School

As soon as we got home from vacation (literally, on the way home from the airport), Allen started soccer practice and went back to school at Spanish Schoolhouse in the pre-K class.  Ms. Mayra is his teacher, and he has many friends from last year in his class.  Soccer, however, is all new.  He is playing through Wylie and all his teammates will be new; Coach Matthew is his coach, and Christian is assistant coach.  We're excited for a new year and know that Allen will be wonderful!

Playa!

We decided last minute to take a vacation this summer.  After much research, we found we could fly to Cancun, Mexico and stay in an all-inclusive resort for less cost than driving to Corpus Cristi or other beach towns, so off to Mexico we went!  I was nervous about traveling, but it turned out to be a wonderful vacation!  The kids did great on the plane; they were curious on the way there and slept on the way home.  The resort was perfect for us!  It was about a 15 minute drive from the airport and very family friendly.  It was mostly filled with Mexican national families with kids.  Food, drinks, pools, the beach, and our room were available all the time.  They had kids activities, water park, putt-putt golf, and lots of restaurants.   The only time we left was for an underwater excursion.  We all loved the boat going out and thought the submarine was so cool... until Allen and I got motion sickness. We took some medicine, but there was no helping that in a small submarine swaying underwater.  Allen still enjoyed it because he saw a mermaid swim by and underwater art sculptures.  Christian also went para sailing right off the beach.    Allen says, "I like the swimming pool where I can touch my feet on the ground."  and "I like that we played in the sand." and  "Flying on the airplane was kinda interesting and cool."
