Our Cancun resort may be regretting their policy of charging the child rate for a 12-year-old boy. Especially a 12-year-old boy who spends the whole morning swimming and playing basketball, and thus shows up for lunch ready to devour everything in sight. That buffet never knew what hit it. We finally put our foot down after Justin’s third trip to the dessert table. Whew.

Having never done the Mexican all-inclusive thing before, we weren’t sure what to expect, but everyone’s having a good time so far. We hit the beach first thing this morning and let the kids play in the massive waves (housekeeping must hate us…that beautiful white sand gets everywhere), then Brayden hit the waterslides while Justin went off to the basketball court. The four of us met up for lunch by the pool, then relaxed a bit in the games room: the boys played Wii while Chris and I shot some pool (I won my first game ever!)

Right now we’re just chilling in the room. It’s hot and sunny and beautiful…ahh.

Maybe some watersports tomorrow…
