Bryce and Jason left on a mission trip with our church last weekend.  They served a community in Cancun. 

Bryce, Chase, Taylor, Kelly and Jason all went on the trip.  Emmy wasn't quite ready to go on this one.

The group did projects at a community center during the day. 

When the kids got out of school they came to the community center and our group got to do crafts, sports and educational lessons with them.

They ate lots of authentic Mexican food.  Some they cooked and some the locals fixed for them.

Emmy and I flew down to Cancun on Wednesday and met up with the boys at a resort after the mission trip. 

We were all ready for some relaxing. 

From the pool to the hammocks, we were relaxed.  

We got our best group shot on our first night at dinner.  This one may be the Christmas card this year!

The boys had booked a fishing trip for one of the days.  They caught lots of mahi and ended up getting one mounted.  

Emmy and I had a spa day while the boys were fishing.  Emmy enjoyed her first massage.  We booked a short one because she thought she might get bored, but she quickly realized the beauty of a massage and can't wait to have another one and longer next time!

We enjoyed a fun dining experience on night two. 

Relaxation is what we needed and that's what we did!

Vacation mode after days of working in the heat and humidity with no AC. 

We had dinner at the marina on our last night. 

It was a short trip, but our first this summer where it was just us and it was so good to have some time together away from the everyday hustle and bustle.
