Wow! What a trip!

To all those who have been waiting for these pictures I am sorry it took me so long to post.

Thank you for your patience.

We just returned home from a wonderful trip to Mexico. All of the Babbel's made the trip to make a grand total of 22.7 people. We had 11 adults and 11.7 children. (Sarah was 7 months pregnant, that is where the 0.7 comes from) It was so wonderful to be with everyone. We are so grateful for that time and especially for the time that the cousins had together.

(Mindy is taking the picture that is why we are short one person)

Everyone had a wonderful time. The water was the most appealing to the boys, most of our time was spent either in the pool or in the water at the beach. By the end of the week even Alyssa, who hated taking baths before the trip, enjoyed the water. The condos we stayed in had the largest swimming pool in all of latin america. It was amazing.

Here is just one small view of part of the pool.

Ryan helped me pull Alyssa around in her little float. He was a little mad when she fell asleep and he had to slow down a little.

Alyssa relaxing poolside under the cabana on the very comfortable bed.

Benjamin swam all over the pool. He learned that it is okay to go under and how to hold his breath and even learned how to snorkle.

Here is Tyler, Uncle Cody and Papa Babbel playing "500" in one part of the pool. What fun they had throwing and catching the ball. Tyler was so pround because he was the one to sign his name and room number on the slip to get the football for the pool. He even saved the little form to bring home with him.
