Cute kids

I have decided that I shouldn't have to do the writing. I only enjoy sharing pictures which tell much more than words.

It rained all weekend so it was good to camp under the pavilion

This is dedicated to Tylers Best Friends

Several events this week. First, Tyler finally ended up with tubes in the ears, even though after the surgery the doctors said there was no fluid in the ears. Both inspections before said there was. All went well though and Tyler was awake with the nurse by the time we got in to see him. Thanks to Julie for watching the kids while Cheri and I attended to the Ty guy. The kids and dad also went to a Flash game again with Julie and cousins. Thanks again to Julie for helping out.

We also went to Disney on Ice with the Illum's. Thanks for arranging the event Paul. It was fun when we finally found parking. It was very busy due to a St. Patrick's Day parade and earlier Disney on Ice events.

Tyler now climbs up any chair or stool and climbs onto the table or counter. We try to prevent the climbing by keeping the chairs tucked up to the table. This does not prevent somebody from trying.

Anytime the fridge goes open Tyler knows his place. He stands inside the fridge until someone removes him while he screams.

Tyler knows how to finish off the bowl!

Swimming at the city pool

We bought a city recreation pass this year and we are trying to make it worth buying. We have been to the pool several times and the kids love it. I brought a dive camera this time so we had some fun taking pictures. It is fun to take a video of the diving board process from top side to underwater.

Cancun, Mexico

Cheri and I just got back from Cancun with her parents. Thanks to my parents for watching the kids and thanks to Cheri's parents for letting us go with them.

We went did two dives just on the reef outside of Playa del Carmen. We debated on going to Cozumel but a salesman convinced us the diving was better closer because of less diving traffic. The photographer said he prefers this reef too because of more animals. He did say the water is clearer at Cozumel. We still want to do dive Cozumel.

We also visited two ruin sites at Coba and Chichen-Itza. It was fun to climb the 120 foot tall temple at Coba but the ruins were much closer together and there were a lot more at Chichen-itza.

We also went to a park called Xcaret. It had several underground rivers to swim, several performances, snorkeling, and animals. The butterfly and orchid displays were very cool.

Anyway we had lots of fun.
