Mexican Riviera-Cabo San Lucas Day 1

The twins turned 5 today and here we were in Cabo to celebrate!

Day 1:

We travelled first to Cabo San Lucas where were going to be for two days. I didn't know what to expect never traveling to Cabo so I, and everyone else in our group, was happy to know Matt was in charge. He booked an excursion on the cheap and we all got to tag along. There were 20 of us all together and we shared a single 16 passenger van. That meant there were people in the back, on laps, and fit into every nook and cranny. Not super comfortable, but we made it safe and sound!

Our driver took us to this incredible beach that was tucked away in a cove called Santa Maria. We kayaked, some snorkeled, the kids played and played, we were in awe as we watched the breaching whales, and we even got some relaxing in. How is that last one possible you ask? Both Karoline and Capri were asleep for a bit-it was heaven!

Tucker and I loved our kayaking trip. There were so many fish to see! Unfortunately, there were also a lot of jellyfish and I was not about to get in and snorkel amongst them. Roman also loved kayaking and went out twice with his dad.

I love that he gets to do big boy stuff with his dad now. It's like he has been waiting his whole 5 years of life to grow up like his dad! It was also pretty great to watch him turn his oar into a gun (see "Roman at age 5 for picture).

And this little green topped tube was full of sand, aka special poison that he would attack me with.

When Capri decided to wake up and be happy (she wasn't in the best of moods at first!), she lit up to find a new friend wearing her same swimsuit. Matt and Jaime's little girl London is just a year older than Capri and these two were best of friends from the start.

I loved watching them play with their kitties-both of them are extremely attached to their stuffed animals making them even closer!

And check out this whale! There were two of them putting on a show for us!
