Vacation, The Final Days

We always loved walking to this area in the mornings.  It was right by the beach near the breakfast restaurant we ate at.  So very peaceful.

Kylee would have walked this beach for miles and miles.  

We happened upon this- someone had written "Iowa" in the sand!

My beach babes.

Then, back to the pool!

I'm going to miss this view so much!

Kael was so proud he got Kent up on his shoulders!

Then, switch!

Kase too!

Ahhhh.

Kael and his buddies tried to do a triple stack.

And they were so happy when they got it!

The girls weren't going to be left out of the fun.

And then the boys saw this thing by the side of the pool. Eeek! 

Final night dinner.  Happy, tired, happy, a little sunburned, but mostly very happy.

Me and my love.

The ladies! We just loved hanging with this sweet family all trip.

One final, perfect sunset.

One more.  (Without our name tags on this time. Rookie mistake ;)

There was a super fun photo booth that night for the families.  Here is one of Kylee with her friend and also a little boy on the trip who just adored Kylee and wanted to hang out with her all the time!

This is one of the guys we hung out with most of the week.  He and Kent had a lot of great conversations about surviving the first year of Edward Jones! They both must be doing something right since they both qualified for this trip.  

This was the morning before we flew home. Last view from our balcony.  

Here are a couple random photos- our snack basket that was refilled daily.  

Kylee saying adios to the beach. 

Kase too.

Last breakfast on the beach.

Time to go home.

Kylee LOVED this pillow she ordered off the pillow menu.

Kase wanted to take pictures of Kent and me to help pass time until our shuttle to the airport got there. Then, Kylee and I souvenir shopped a little.  She loved the little jewelry dish she found.

Here's a picture of the peacocks again!

And here are the kids doing crafts during one of the dinners. The kids activities were so great! 

And the pinata Kylee made! She desperately wanted to bring it home but I wasn't sure how it would fit in the carry on.  So she agreed to just have a picture of it. 

At the Puerto Vallarta airport.

We made it through customs in the Denver airport with not a minute to spare.  The kids were all SUCH good travelers. I can't say enough about how awesome they are.  They all declare it to be the Best Vacation Ever and are already asking if we can go back soon.  What wonderful memories we will have of this amazing trip! So good to go, and like always, it's so good to be home.
