MeXiCo with the Rasch's


We had an incredible family vacation this summer with the entire Rasch Family. CANCUN, MEXICO!!! This was the first time that our kids had traveled out of the country and they thought it was FABULOUS!!

We stayed in Cancun, but took the ferry over to one of my favorite places to visit... Cozumel. We shopped and shopped while Ty and his brother Mike went scuba diving. We met them for lunch, then shopped a little more!!

COZUMEL...

Love the "lunch" spots on the beach

Cozumel has the most beautiful water and beaches

Love the "fanta" drinks

Love Love Love Cozumel!!


Selvatica:
A rain forest Jungle in Cancun where we rode 12 zip-lines, dropped from a 25 foot rope swing, swam in a secret sink hole and had a delicious traditional mexican lunch... chicken fajitas served with rice and beans.

Sorry... no pictures of the zip-line... we weren't allowed to take cameras.

On the shuttle to the rope swing and sink hole...


Jaxon was the only BRAVE one to swing from the rope swing...
