Dream Vacation

In early February my whole family (all 29 Allen's) boarded a plane for Cancun Mexico. It has been such a long time since we have all been together, especially my brother who is in residency and currently lives in Oklahoma. Literally I cannot think of a better situation. Nobody had work, nobody had phones, nobody had to cook, nobody had to clean, nobody had any distractions. It was pure play, fun, food, family, more food, sunshine, more food, oh and more fun. I love my family so much, we all get along and are best friends, even the in laws. My parents made this trip happen and it really was a once in a lifetime experience. We stayed at an all inclusive resort by a little town called Puerto Morelos called El Cid Spa & Beach Resort. I would highly recommend this resort to everyone. It was so kid friendly yet was calm and relaxing. There was always something fun to do for all ages, they had pools and slides to accommodate everyone and the food was fantastic. One thing that made me laugh was at the resort their were so many Canadians. I loved chatting with them all and it made me miss all my favorite Calgarians.

Between Hank and my dad they took over 600 pictures. I won't post that many but it is hard to narrow down all my favorites!!! Oh and it has only been a little over a month and I want to go back, like right now!
So I don't have to label them all...here is a bit of what you will see and the adventures we did and had. The pictures are all over the place but you get the point, we had a blast!!! Beach Time, Pool Time, Swimming with Dolphins, Mayan Ruins, Snorkeling, Deep Sea Fishing, kayak contests, Lying around Drinking Fruity Drinks, Girls getting their hair braided, Football on the beach, Water Aerobics, etc. Seriously now can you see why I want to go back...non stop fun!

Never laughed so hard as when my nephew came back from the buffet with this plate... the boys were all in food heaven!

 You wouldn't know that 5 out of the 7 boys were puking the whole deep sea fishing trip. They were all so sick they had to turn around and come back 2 hours early!
