Some photos of trip #6 to the Iberostar Quetzal/Tucan - this time with the kids again. No time for a long recap...just comments.
 |
| Carter on the last night |
 |
| Last nights kids show...Carter beat out 29 others to reach the finals (video to follow). |
 |
| Connor on the last night |
 |
| Carnival games at the nightly kids show |
 |
| The "fishes" have now been to Florida once, and Mexico twice...not bad for $2.99. |
 |
| Rare all family shot |
 |
| More pool time |
 |
| Beach time |
 |
| Monkeys were frequently by our room...guests gave them bananas. |
 |
| Fun at the kids show. |
 |
| Priceless...the girl that beat Carter in the kids show. She's all smiles, he's still ticked off. |
 |
| Moritzio (the host/Star Friend) liked Carter...he would always ask him to show his smile on stage...and of course Carter would haul out the manufactured smile...which usually brought laughs from the crowd. |
 |
| The tree where we got married 8.5 years ago... |
 |
| Conor flying solo at the kids show...Carter did not want to do it this night. |
 |
| The cool part is the mix of kids - Germany, England, Peru, Argentina, Russia....and of course I will always meet someone else from Naperville...this time Lake Zurich too. |
 |
| Connor's go-to silly pose is of course the Gangnam Style dance...which gets beat into your head down there between the shows and activities. |
 |
| By weeks end, the fishie would no longer be required, as Carter started to get braver and master swimming for a bit on his own. |
 |
| Peacock in the lobby bar...quite frequent this time. |
 |
| Silly pose...of course, Gangnam Style. |
 |
| The favorite restaurant - the Japanese Hibachi |
 |
| Uno provided relief from the sun...which was pretty intense the first 3 days. |
 |
| I played plenty of wacky volleyball, beach volleyball, water polo and water basketball....in fact, every family member got on stage for winning a tournament at least once (bingo for the kids). |
 |
| Connor, completing is class project of sending a postcard...we will see if it makes it back to Naper Elementary (and when). |
 |
| Carter is not shy with any type of food...had no problem downing "mexican" chicken wings. |
 |
| A frequent sight at dinner time. |
 |
| The swim shirt was a requirement for Carter pretty much from day 3 on...too much sun. |
 |
| Sans the fishie - into the deep end. |
 |
| Carter - becoming braver. |
 |
| A double crash at the beach front steakhouse...makes for a peaceful dinner. |
