standing

i guess for the time being - olivia just learns to stand...

to admit the loss, pick herself up and stand.

i am so proud of her!

couldn't indy just let her win?

i guess humbly, i learned a lesson today...so often i want to win.

i want to have the last word -

the desire to be right often times outweighs the bigger picture.

poolside

we hit the pool as soon as we got to our hotel! we had hot, sunny weather the entire week!

dinner on the side of a cliff...

it doesn't get much better than this!

this place was built into the side of this cliff - overlooking

the ocean and the city.

completely breathtaking.

2 hot 2 handle and 2 ligit 2 quit

these were our "handles" for the trip...chris and maggie even had motions to go with theirs...you guys are so cool!

we took these dune buggies on the highway - it was crazy seeing a huge semi-truck that could squash you in a second if a wrong turn was made! we went through a river - which was way more unclean water than i would care to swallow as i'm screaming through that part. after we hit all of the off-road spots, rivers and the busy highways - we were looking pretty rough.

boogity, boogity, boogity - let's go racin' boyzzzz

i don't think it is the last time for racers - 2 ligit 2 quit and 2 hot 2 handle

to meet on these mexican roads!

amazing race?

so, phil wasn't waiting for us at the end...but, it was definitely good material to use - in case the amazing race is ever hurting and needs to boost their ratings.
90 ft. in the air - zip lines through the tropical rainforest in the mountains of mexico. we were at speeds of 40 mph.
the scariest part - we could barely understand our instructors...what were we thinking?

oncoming riders...

trips...they are always a lot of
work to get ready for...and so much more work once you come home from one - but you hope that while you are there - on this trip - that it will be worth it.

this trip was one of those trips
that when people ask you how it went,

or if you had a good time, you just
answer with a

one-liner...it was
fantastic...amazing...incredible.

we did so many adventurous things,
spent lots of time together -and one of the best parts...we went with some really good friends of ours. chris and maggie. they made the trip extremely memorable and oh, so much fun!
