We took the boys to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with both sets of grandparents. It was a wonderful trip! Jackson started out the week by just jumping into the pool from the side but by the end of the week he was swimming quite a distance. It helped that there was a pool in our backyard. Carson started the week by saying "no, no" when we asked him to get into the pool but by the time we left he was jumping in.
The resort was a beautiful property built on a hillside. Several mornings we walked the kids all the way down to the beach. Neither one of them loved the beach. They would watch the crabs for a minute and then be ready to head to the pool. There were exotic birds around the property that the boys enjoyed watching. When we were done with our downhill walk, we got on a "bumpy cart" and headed back to the house. (A bumpy cart is a golf cart that zooms all around the hilly resort porperty.
We watched whales from our balcony. They would spout off in the distance. Sometimes, they would jump out of the water. The boys loved watching all the fishing boats too. One evening we got to go on a sunset tour. Unfortunately, it was wavy so the whales were not very active but we did see sea lions. Jackson kept Drew busy on the boat. They explored every inch.
We did go to a beach where the snorkeling boats did their tour. Drew, Dad, and I got to use our goggles to swim out and look at the pretty fish around the rocks. It was some of the best snorkleing we have ever done and we just went right off the beach. A starfish got washed in by a wave so the boys had a good time looking at him. We also picked up sea glass and shells for Jackson to take to school for show and tell.
