A Bradley family tradition has been created of spending every other Christmas in Mexico. We love the sun, the pool, the beach.... As the kids get older each year becomes a little more relaxing. On our first full day the girls spent 9 hours in the pool. 9! Day 2 was basically a repeat. As a parent I did not expect to be able to read a book on vacation again until my youngest was at least 8. I am so happy to have been wrong.
Somehow this trip turned into "How many animals can you encounter in a week?" It was nuts.
At one point Leia had 1 monkey on her head and 1 monkey on her shoulder. And the green bird in the upper left photo is almost as big as Kate's entire torso. But wait, there's more.
Before we left we told the girls we were not getting them gifts for Christmas but would take them swimming with Dolphins. They were immediately agreeable (and luckily the place wasn't booked, we would not have been forgiven!).
Uncle Ben, Jessica, and Aunt Sky helped make it possible.
Gigi, Papa Scott, Scottie and I watched from the stands that were fairly far from the pool but even we could see the huge grin on Kate's face when she was riding on the dolphin's belly.
New traditions were created (we are absolutely watching Elf every year, the kids laughed so hard) and old traditions were continued. Now it is time to detox from Margaritas and nachos.
Until next time Mexico.
P.S. I think I could fill a photo album with just the elevator selfies we took. A true test of photographic skills, and not meant for those with short arms.
