It's been a LONG time since I've made a blog post but there were so many things that I wanted to remember from this trip that I thought it was as good a time as any to start back up (or at least do a single post!). We spent a week in Puerto Vallarta with the kids and had a great time! Mia was in heaven with all of the animals.....she got to hold an alligator, snake, hermit crab, parrot, owl, baby turtle, and even sit on a horse! Jake discovered a little drink called a shirley temple and drank about 50 of them over the course of the trip. I think his favorite thing was going to the swim up bar and ordering a "shirley" all on his own. The resort had a fun kids camp, so Jake and Mia did some fun activities there and spent the bulk of the days in the pool, sliding down the water slide, and making friends. We only met one other family from the United States.....EVERYONE was from Canada! We made some Canadian friends and a super nice family from Minnesota....the kids were all fast friends, which made the trip even more fun.
Just a little light reading on the flight....he must have looked at it for 20 minutes. If anyone needs any info on an evacuation plan, Jake's your guy.

Happily on their way to vacation....
It's times like this that I am SO thankful for technology.
Jungle Jake with the alligator
Mia holding him just like a "baby".....yeah, because he's so snuggly, right?!
The kids were WAY more brave than I am!~
Not gonna lie.....this owl freaked me out. Really pretty, but crazy eyes.
LOVE every single thing about this picture!!
This was before he was introduced to the shirley temples.....back when he thought the strawberry smoothies were the best thing ever. When we would come down to the pool in the morning, the waiter would look at us and say "it's smoothie time". Yes, pretty sure they thought we were crazy to be drinking them without the booze. Though, we did discover a few "real" drinks that were worth having :)
This climbing inflatable slide was fun way out in the ocean....but harder than it looks!
My boys
What would a fiesta be without a mechanical bull?!
Baby turtle release on the beach....they really are about the cutest things ever.
Yup, those are the kids about 20 feet in the air on the bungee trampoline.
Thank goodness the Tooth Fairy services Mexico.....cuz THIS guy lost his FIRST tooth!! BIG news.
Cool kids at the swim up bar. I think the wait staff was only slightly annoyed with them by the end of the trip :)
Mia the sand mermaid
The hermit crab that decided he liked Mia a little too much....he grabbed on and wouldn't let go....lifeguard eventually pried him off, but she thought it was fun when I told her he "kissed" her....
One of my favorite things from the whole trip....waverunners with the kids!
Mia, just lounging' by the pool with her snacks and drink....catching some rays.
The only family picture from our trip....
