We have had a busy July!! Stephen started and completed Level 1 swimming lessons. He did really well. He has gotten over his fear of water in his face and even puts it into the water without being told now! That is a drastic improvement. Next time he will be in the next level I think. Now just to get the security belt off him....

We then took a family trip to Cancun, Mexico! Yes, Folks. That's right. My husband took us to Mexico (even though he swore he never would). While there we celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. We were able to go out on a dinner cruise, Peter dived 2 times, Stephen and Peter swam with dolphins, Peter played a couple rounds of golf, and I got some spa time. I had a great time with the kids at the pool. Scottie went under a couple of times but didn't mind it since mom pulled him right out. He will be swimming next summer I am sure so he can keep up with is brother. Stephen also got to do the Kid's Club, where he played in the arcade, air hockey, did some crafts, got his face painted like Spiderman, and broke a pinata. We enjoyed the all you can eat and drink too! The food was good, and the boys loved to be able to swim up to the bar in the pool and get "strawberry smoothies" (AKA virgin strawberry daiquiris). They thought they were big stuff! We saw some fun animals too... Peter saw a coita, I saw (and was chased by one) lots of iguanas, a frog, a couple of lizards and some other birds. All in all, we had a good time.

Now we will be off to Maine. Post again once I am back.
