Vacation

Hailey's napping position daily on vacation in the palapa


We went to Mexico, the Riviera Maya outside Cancun july 12-19. Grandmom and Grandpop came in from Philly and went with us. We all had a great time. We had beautiful weather the whole time. I think it rained 2 times....once in the morning before we started our day and then late at night. The resort was beautiful, the food was great and the rooms were very very clean. The resort had 3 big pools that were interconnected. The beach was rocky and the ocean was corally so you had to have water shoes to go in the ocean. Hailey did enjoy playing in the sand and the ocean, we did find a spot where it was not rocky for her to play in the water. We went to a Mexican fiesta one night and that was a lot of fun. Hailey loved watching all the signing and dancing and she was dancing right along too. Glenne got picked to go up and do a mexican hat dance during that fiesta. I got that on video too. During the day at the pool there was always some kind of activity going on so there was lots of music all the time and she was always dancing. The one night we went to the italian resurant on the resort and they had a guy that played the violin and also an opera singer too. Hailey was just enthralled watching them. Another night we were at another resturant and there was a meriachi band playing and she loved that too. We rented a palapa every day and it was so worth it. Hailey napped in it everyday. She would wake up from her nap and automatically say "pool" but would stop and eat a bite before swimming again. Grandmom and Grandpop ventured off the resort one day and went into Playa del Carmen for a few hours. Grandmom did some shopping and then they had lunch and enjoyed some 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. Glenne and Grandpop enjoyed happy hour most of the week...LOL I know I am forgetting some things but I am just drawing a blank right now


Hailey did great on the plane and thought that the landing was a ride and squealed with excitement. She napped on the plane both times. She did not seem to be bothered by the ear popping, we also gave her a bottle during take off and landing. She came back a different baby, seems like she is trying to be more independent then she was before we left.
