COZUMEL! Day one

 Take the vacation.  

Even though this was not a cheap vacation by an sorts, it was a great vacation.  I have always wanted to spend my birthday at the beach.  I really wanted to spend my 40th at the beach but covid 2020 ruined that idea.  We had planned to spend 8 days in Costa Rica but my mom got sick, so we planned another trip.  

Right before the trip, I came down with a terrible sore throat! My throat felt worse and worse as the days led up to our trip.   I finally decided to skip church and see a doctor.  I am so glad I did.  I got a zpac and my throat was feeling better by Monday night.  

 

We flew out at 5:30 AM on Monday morning.  We landed in Houston, Texas and sat at the airport for a few hours before we flew to Cozumel.  As soon as we hit the ground we had plans for a fun zipline.  It was storming all around us as we went down the lines.  Made the zipline a but more thrilling. 

After the zipline, we checked in to our hotel and got right in the water!

Summer ins and outs

 Oh the randomness of summer is my favorite.  Who even knows what we do or why we do it, but we do it.  I sang with the Gay Mans Chorus and the Zia sings for a huge compilation.  It was so fun! Edward went to summer camp with his friend Titus.  I don't have a single picture of that adventure; however, Edward said he had a blast!

Swim Team!

 I love summer! I live for summer!  Summer is my favorite! 

This year, the boys are doing the swim team at the gym near our house.  Early mornings and fun Saturdays are spent at the pool! Even though this means I have to get the boys up early every day, it gets them out of the house and moving their bodies.

Track Season ends and a hike

 I have a love hate relationship with Track season. I love running and I especially love running with Nolen; however, track season is not my favorite season to run.  By the time June hits, I am ready to spend my days at the pool.  Nolen had a great State track meet and beat all of his times for the season.  He ran hard all season long.  He was ready for track season to end, just as much as I was ready for summer to begin.  

Edward and Nolen have been relaxing every day after swim team.  Edward decided to build a cardboard tank with his friends then have a nerf gun war outside his friends home.  We also went on a hike with all the kids from mutual.  Nolen has also been practicing a song for Trek with a large group of boys.  It sounds so cool!
