Cancun

Graham, my super awesome husband... made president's club, and earned us an all-expensense-paid trip to Cancun. So thanks to my mom, dad, mother-in-law and family... we left the kids for 5 days!!

Yes, we feel a bit guilty since we missed out on Halloween and festivities, the Homecoming of Sterling (2year mission to chicago), and the Return of my Father-in-Law, Randy (serving in Iraq for the past year)...

bad timing? Yes.

Was it awesome? Definately!


Here are some pictures of our first day in Cancun. We went a day early so we could rent a car and drive to some Mayan Ruins. Specifically, Chichen Itza.

It was amazing to see the History of these people and specifically the people of the Book of Mormon. We requested a guide (that we thought) was an expert on the specific relation to the people of the Book of Mormon... but, while he did point out a few facts... I wouldn't call him an expert.
My favorite were these Pillars that were about 8-10 feet high. Our guide indicated there were 2000 of them. Can you guess what these are believed to have represented?

here are a few of many pictures I took.


This guy was amazing. He carves all of these out of cedar. This is a carving of the calander. A little out of my price range. Maybe a picture will suffice.

This tree supposedly represented the tree of life. (it is filled with water inside the trunk) You can tap on it and here the water.
