Mexico Vacation - Day 4

Since the waves on our beach is too rough for the kids, we decided to check out another resort that we were originally going to stay at(they "upgraded" us) - the Royal Cancun. Because of where it is located in Cancun, it is known for its really calm beaches. And they were right!

Royal Cancun is a little more low key and less swanky but is really nice and peaceful. They kids were so excited to see the calm sea that they waste no time running into it and saying "wow.. look, you can see the bottom!!!"

Tyler immediately put on his snorkeling gear and was off. Cody who at that time still didn't quite get snorkeling(he said he can't breathe) needed a little more coaching and finally cracked it and enjoyed it after that. We also convinced Popo and Kong Kong to go snorkeling. We saw quite many schools of fishes and some rather big and colorful fishes and also some smaller baracudas!

It was a super hot day that we didn't get to use the other amenities like sailing etc. We stopped for a bit for lunch and after lunch the kids went to swim in the pool. We left about 3 pm for daily nap time.

And for staying at the resort, we got some free tickets to go see a dinner and show. Alan and I were supposed to go with the kids but Cody who had a little too much sun couldn't get out of bed in time. So, Tyler was pleased to be hanging with Mommy and Daddy for the night. The show itself poor and the food terrible, but it's free!! Tyler seemed to enjoy himself and still talks about the two clowns from the show.
