Puerto Vallarta


We got to go to Puerto Vallarta for our spring break and it was so NICE to have a relaxing vacation. Thanks mom & dad Curtis!



The resort we stayed at had a program for kids. We accompanied Xander for a few activities. Being that he doesn't get the opportunity to use scissors much, he was ecstatic that they were using them one day. He kept cutting things tinier and tinier, and didn't want to glue them onto his project- he was too busy cutting for about an hour. The next time we went to an activity he promptly told the instructor that he needed scissors again. Unfortunately the next activity didn't require them.
We had an ocean view room on the top floor. They had a mix up and overbooked the room we were supposed to be in, so we lucked out I guess, and got a better view.




Playing at the beach.






We walked along the "malecon" downtown, where you can find food, booths, street performers, and lots of fun things to look at. There were the most amazing sand sculptures- this one was of the last supper, and it was way larger than life-size.



We went to Eden, where Predator was filmed. We hiked around a little in the rainforest, and put our feet in the pool of water they have there.

Watch out- he's behind you!

Will really wanted to hold this parrot. He loves birds, and is always sure to point them out to us and say, "tweet tweet!"

We went on a pirate cruise on a ship called the Marigalante. They said it is an exact replica of the Santa Maria. They had food and pirates all over swinging from ropes and putting on a show for us. We got to a little beach where Blair and Xander went kayaking, and I watched Will throw balls of dirt to a dog that would chase after them, and then he'd laugh hysterically- over and over and over and over.....

Xander thought that this toilet was pretty cool on the pirate ship- but he wouldn't go near the shark-mouth urinal. He told Blair he thought it might bite him.
