Happy 4th of July to All!

Tomorrow is Independance day! Enjoy and have fun. We are having some friends over to eat (of course) and watch the fireworks that are lit from the school, just a few blocks from our house.

Update on the Honeymooners

Sara called this morning to say their excursion yesterday was great. She was a little concerned since she got violently sick the night before but then drank a bottle of pepto bismo and it stopped everything. They have been very careful to brush their teeth with bottled water etc. but then she remembered her coworker told her that lettuce for salad is rinsed in regular water and Sara had eaten a salad that night. Anyway, she made it on the 1 1/2 hour bus ride and floated down the river/stream of the underground caves. They really enjoyed it. They snorkeled and saw beautiful fish and napped on hammocks at the beach. How nice! Then last night, there was a show of dancers, etc. They got back to the resort after 11:00 pm so they were pretty tired. Today is hang out by the pool and beach day and get a souvenier. Tomorrow is more snorkeling and then Saturday is about coming home. Lucky (the cat) finally came out from hiding last night and found that he could jump on and off our bed all night for entertainment. Finally, at 4:00 am this morning, Rick got up and made coffee and we decided to start our day. I think we will terrorize him all day to keep him awake so that he might sleep tonight. We could sure use some right about now!

Honeymooners

Well they arrived in Cancun, Mexico in style. They got to the hotel and they said they have a beautiful room that overlooks the ocean. That night there were pirate ships off the shore with each ship represented by a different resort. They had a duel - yelling at each other's ship that their resort was better than the other. She said it was hilarious. They met with the activities coordinator and planned two excursions. They are exploring the underground caves that lead you along a path that eventually lets you out at the ocean, and they are going on a boat excursion that takes you out to a cove for snorkeling. They said the time is flying by and are already wanting to go back (and they haven't left yet!) They said that everyone is so polite and helpful, the sand and water is beautiful and Nick is loving swimming in the ocean. They are really enjoying themselves. I told them to take pictures!

When you try to steal a picture off of someone's web site, it shrinks. Michelle left us a copy of hers so I'm posting a few of hers.
