Family Vacation - Day 4 (Cozumel)

      Cozumel was one of my absolute favorite parts of the trip.  For our excursion we chose to go snorkeling at Chankanaab Park.  The boys had never been snorkeling before so we thought this would be a great adventure for them.  Chankanaab Park was beautiful!  It's considered a conservation area and was decreed a National park in 1980.  It's ideal for snorkeling, diving, wildlife watching, and for a fee you can even swim with dolphins.  We had an absolute blast there!  The boys loved snorkeling.  Some of the wildlife they saw while in the water include: a huge barracuda, an octopus, a ray, and lots of tropical fish.  Austin even dove down in the water when he found a shell, and was disappointed when we told him he couldn't keep it.  We played football on the beach;  Spencer and I got 30 minute massages for $20 in the spa;  and the wildlife we found in the lagoon was awesome!

      After our fun day in the sun we went back to our ship and got cleaned up in a hurry so we could do some shopping in town.  We bought tons of souvenirs and it was fun just walking around showing the boys a different culture.  We planned on eating dinner out and went to a couple of restaurants, but when we previewed the menu we thought, why are we about to pay lots of money when we can eat for free on our ship?  So we came to the decision of eating on board.   

      We pulled out of Cozumel around 10:30 p.m. and shortly thereafter was a huge deck party & Mexican buffet on the Lido deck (where the pools are).  Now, I LOVE to dance, but what surprised me was how much Cameron & Andrew LOVE to dance as well.  And, they're good!  We had so much fun dancing.  The deck was packed, you wouldn't know it from the picture below, but it was.  With the exception of Austin I had my whole family out there shaking it.  This day was hands down the funnest day of vacation for me!
