We are back from our little adventure and we had a marvelous time. We went with our good friends and neighbors the Wisnewskis. Our kids got along great, not one fight amongst the four of them. There were no tiffs amongst the grown-ups either! It makes it easier when you bring along playmates for the kids, JG absolutely idolizes the Wisnewski's son MC and their daughter EM thinks the world of AE.
We spent most of the time around the pool and on the beach from sunup to sundown, the kids were exhausted each night and all of us were in bed asleep by 9:00 which is a rarity for the Schmidts, especially me. The resort we stayed at was nice, perfect for the kids with a daily program called "Kids Paradise" that they went to for a few hours each day. They especially enjoyed "Loco Hora" (Crazy Hour).
Overall the all-inclusive route was the way to go with the kids, they ate all the hamburgers, french fries and Pina Coladas they could stand. For the adults we were able to go to at least one sit down meal each day and avoid the lines, the buffet was reminiscent of the cruise experience from last April with my girlfriends from college, it was totally a cruise ship on land. The title of this blog "Scmidth and Wineski" is what we were collectively called each night at dinner for the majority of our trip, guess something was lost in the translation of Schmidt and Wisnewski.
We managed one day trip to Xel-Ha a waterpark south of Cancun about 1 1/2 hours. We had a great time snorkling, tubing down the lazy river and AE and DLS managed to jump off a few cliffs. JG so wanted to go, but "mean mom" said no.
It was good to get home to our king sized bed, drinking water that doesn't come in the bottle, and not having sand stuck everywhere you don't want sand to be. We will go to Mexico again, hopefully sooner than later.

JG was instistent I put a picture of a bird in the blog. He really liked the parrots a "super lot". So here is the parrot JG ticked off by screaming "HEY YOU BIRD" at him. JG scared the crap out of me and at least three others as well, one woman I am pretty sure swore at us in Spanish. Lucky he didn't lose an ear or something. Now that would be an interesting blog. "We went to Mexico and our son was attacked by a huge parrot..."
