First Fall 2018 Villagers game
Eli made the Villagers Fall team….Congratulations little bear!
Good bye Friday nights of popcorn & movies + hello hanging out & cheering on the side lines 🙂
Harry Potter on Broadway
To keep in with our tradition of leaving the kids for Harry Potter, Nathan and I got a sitter and headed into the city 🙂
Fourth Grade for Lachie
Back to school to start fourth grade for Lachie too. He was pretty chuffed to get 2 extra days at the end of the summer holiday (than Eli).
Fingers crossed this is a great year!
Last day of summer
Ribs by request!
(lucky dad works from home & can take you and a friend)
Sixth Grade for Eli
Eli starts her new school today. Fingers crossed she enjoys it and has a great year 🙂
what a beautiful school 🙂
Flag football kicks off
After registering in April, the much anticipated and super-fun season of Flag football kicks off.
This is us Tuesdays & Saturdays through September & October.
Lachie (and of course all of us by extension) are hyped – Let’s go Jets!!!
To dad (and hopefully wifi!)
Today we did the reverse trip back to the mainland to meet dad & chill for a week on beach – over & out 🙂
Golf Buggy Exploring
Today was to be our last day on beautiful Isla Holbox and so we decided to hire a golf buggy and exploer the island 🙂
We had a leisurely breakfast, where we said goodbye to our new friends from Israel.
Picked up the cart and we were off exploring.
First stop Playa de Holbox
Then Playa Cocos – for a swim
Then lunch
Then to a quiet place for E&L to learn how to drive a golf cart (go & stop pedals)
Another swim at playa de Holbox and then back to chillax at hotel (out of sun).
Cocktail hour once again, a little more last minute shopping 🙂
Dinner was room service as the little bear had a questionable tummy and we didn’t want to chance it. E slept & B&L had a night of enjoying the hotel wifi and watching the Flash 🙂
The day we’d been waiting for
Up super early for whale shark tour! By 7am we were in the boat and on our way! We were sharing with an amazing family from Israel – 2 adults & 4 kids. Lachie was best buds with their son in no time 🙂
From about 9:15-10:30 snorkel w whale sharks, and also saw a huge mantaray
Then we rode back ~2 hours towards Isla Holbox to a snorkel spot – where we saw stingrays, turtles & lots of fish 🙂
Next stop beach was a beach for guac & ceviche. They’d intentionally brought guac for E+L as I’d flagged they didn’t like ceviche 🙂
Then we saw Flamingos…we felt quite lucky as we saw a whole flock o flamingos. People in the hotel and the captain said they hadn’t seen any the day before so that we shouldn’t get our hopes up 🙂
Home to swim & chill and a little snooze 🙂
Cocktail hour and dinner @ sushi place
A little shopping…
Back to Roots for pizza dinner #2 🙂
The post dinner ice cream took out Eli’s double tooth 😦
(she decided to wait and put it out for the tooth fairy in NJ who brings USD, and not the Mexican one who brings Pesos)
An amazing and brilliant day!
Is chillaxing good?
Hmmm so the plan today was to relax, do nothing and enjoy the beach / hotel. We put it to a vote and all agreed 🙂
FIrst breakfast and then we went back to our room to reset…
another swim
A wander around town and lunch…
A wander along the beach
Dinner at a rooftop hotel for margaritas & fanta – lobster & steak – yummy! and $26!
The all important ice cream stop…
Isla Holbox is gorgeous – thanks for a fun & interesting day!
For the *alternate* summary of the day:
What do you want to do kids? chillax.
ok! …big mistake! Bored kids fight 😦
The next two days here will be a little more planned / structured.
