Puerta Vallarta

Okay, so what we didn’t expect was an absolute down pour!  But that’s what we got, at least for the first part of the day.  Luckily by noon it had cleared up.  We had book a canopy tour a.k.a. a zip line! We had an absolute blast.  While waiting for the tour we held a scorpion.  Jordan, of course, was the first of the entire group to volunteer to hold it!

Mitchell just didn’t have it in him to hold the scorpion.  Chase did, however once again, Mother of the Year failed to get a photo of him!

 

We didn’t book the tour through Carnival.  A travel agent recommended this company and these guys were hilarious.  We went on 13 zip lines after riding about 45 minutes through a primitative mountains in the back of a truck.  Most of the kids identified this as being one of the '”highlights” of their trips.

These guys were absolutely hilarious.  They were so good with the kids.  Jordan went several times ALONE, which about caused me a heart attack.  She was not nervous at all. 

So a final note that will make my sisters and mom laugh:  There were several women in our group.  Hispanic men have their “machismo” to look after.  The guides called all of the women “beautiful” or “sexy” except for me, whom they referred to as “mama.”   Help me now!!!  Jeff and I laughed about it the entire trip!

Sorry there were no photos of Jeff.  He is the best and had the camera the entire time.  I really am so blessed to have found someone so selfless.  I can’t even begin to express my gratitude!

After we returned the younger kids and T did not want to venture back into town.  So, we left them on the ship and Chase, Jeff and myself went shopping.  SO FUN!!  Chase became quite the shopper!

This is our ship as we boarded back on in the evening.  So pretty!
