Cancun Trip Day 1

And we are off! We are heading to Cancun for my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary trip.  We have been planning (and by we, I mean mostly Kirt) for 6 months to do this.  Mom and dad wanted to a trip with all of their kids and spouses for their 50th.  We thought about a cruise, but mom gets sea sick, so they decided on Cancun.  Kirt found this awesome house on the beach to rent.  Unfortunately, Michelle is too sick to come.  We wanted to cancel, but Jon and Michelle insisted that we still go.  So we are super excited to go, and sad all at the same time.  It's so weird how you can have both emotions at once.  We have the house reserved from Tuesday-Tuesday, but the tickets from Spokane were so much cheaper to go from Monday-Wednesday so we have an extra day on each end of the trip.  Mom and dad were on Kirt and I's flight.  Cam and Rachelle were on a different flight, but we all made it to Cancun about the same time.  We rented our huge 12 passenger Nissan van and went to the Airbnb that we rented for the 1st night.  We went to dinner at a yummy taco place.  It started raining right before we went to dinner and we got soaked just walking from the apartment to the car.  It's crazy how hard it rains.  We were all super tired, because we had been up since 3am so we just went to bed after diiner.

12 passenger Nissan van.  It is a beast to drive.  Kirt is our hero! It is a manual and it has no guts and has the worst turning radius.

The pool at the Airbnb condo place that we rented for the 1st night


Look at the tiny ironing board in the corner.  It was so small.  I don't know how you would ever iron anything on it (or why you would iron on vacation either).

Grandbaby

Tanner and Emilie told us on Labor Day that they were expecting a baby.  We were so excited!!  Unfortunately Emilie had a miscarriage a few days later and lost the baby.  It's crazy how sad you can be when something like this happens.  I felt so bad that we were so far away and couldn't do anything to comfort them.

St Maries Firework Show

We had our friends the Orndorff's over for dinner Sunday night and then we drove to St Maries to see the firework show.  It is still the best firework show that I have ever seen.  We are so close to the fireworks and there are so many of them.  It didn't disappoint.



Grammy and Pompa came too.  They brought some friends with them.
