Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta was by far our favorite stop. So many breathtaking views.

Half of us got a driver to take us zip lining and the other half who zip lined a few years ago went snorkeling. We all had an amazing time.

We weren't able to take our phones with us zip lining so we don't have any pictures of it but it was an amazing experience. We went on 10 different zip lines through this jungle.



Yummy guava Popsicle on the way home.

So pretty! Behind us is the place where half of the group snorkeled, which is definitely something we will hit up on our next trip there.

We all met up at Pipi's for lunch and had some good, but expensive, Mexican food.

Fried ice cream. It was great but Brandon's is way better.



Mazatlan

The next day our stop was Mazatlan.

Waiting for everyone so we could get off the boat together.

We got a driver who took us to a cathedral and the market. This market totally reminded me of the Philippines.




Especially the pig heads. I have almost this exact picture from my mission.


The cathedral was really beautiful.

Next our driver took us to watch some cliff divers.

I think this picture is Jordan but I did get a video of one guy diving off this cliff. Takes lots of guts I'm sure.

Next our driver took us to the beach. The water was sooo warm! Like a bathtub. It felt amazing. Fun to swim out in the ocean and just relax. And eat delicious mangoes.


Last he took us to a place to get tacos. They were delicious.


Back on the boat for some mini golf and food and relaxation playing games and hanging out.




Cabo

Our first stop was to Cabo. We took a water taxi out to Lover's Beach. We brought our own snorkel gear and snorkeled over by the rocks and I thought it was pretty amazing. We saw a bunch of fish and Brandon and I even saw a sting ray. Fun day in the hot sun.




Lincoln's epic sunburn. Megan sprayed the sunscreen a little too close and never rubbed it in. We all had good laughs over this.



Mexican Riviera Cruise

Years ago Brandon's brother Lincoln started talking about doing an adults only trip after he graduated from BYU. Well, he pulled it off and made it happen. I still can't believe all 18 of us were able to make it, and get people to watch our kids while we were gone for a whole week.

On the plane to LA...

We got to the port a little early and had to wait a while before we could board the ship.



Finally on board. We ate right away. And then explored the ship.


Dallin and Shellee made hats for all the girls and tank tops for all the boys.



Formal night.

Fairytale Dance

I just had to write real quick about Kallie's dance class. I signed her up for this fairytale dance class that is right by our house. Mckinley did it a few years ago too and just loved it. Kallie was so timid at first and stone faced and just so worried that she would mess up. Ha ha. It's so casual and totally just for fun. She ended up LOVING it and wants to do it again. They dress up as a different princess every week and dance to songs from that movie. It's adorable!
