We have been doing a lot of family activities in Cancun. We went to many beaches. Our favorite was Playa dolphin. We went to Peter Piper's Pizza twice. We had the buffet once there and it had good salad. Faith and daddy learn to do new crunches.

Cancun beaches

We have been in Cancun for a month. We switched houses with someone. Her name is tamilla and she is staying in our house in Chapala. We have enjoyed a lot of time at the beach and other historical sites. Mostly we have just been having fun being a family and bonding.

Swimming we love it!

The Apsley love to go swimming. I friend Joanne has a pool and we go there very often. She has a child face age can't go swimming and less we come because their mom doesn't like the listening. Do it is when my best friend she's lots of fun and very crafty! They are very kind to share. Hope learned to swim! Or weather she jumped in and took off! She loves the water. Yippee. Courage learn to swim with just little arm floated. honor learn to go down the slide with just a fun noodle. They made a lot of progress in swimming today Faith learned to swim last year and is really good at it. Hope also got to play with Joanne dogs. They are teaching her not to nib and jump but she's having a hard learning curve.we swam for three hours. It was soooo much fun. The kids fell right to sleep despite our av still being broken. 

Park

We just love the park and all of the playground! We have gone to most playgrounds in the area. We go in early morning or late at night with hope so she can go on a walk. Also it is very hot during the day. Sometimes we just go for 15 minutes in midday so the kids to play in the playground equipment and get their energies out. This is a picture of us at night on the playground near our house.

Slip n slide

We have a point system. If the kids so something good they get a point if they do something bad minis a point.  It keeps me looking for positives about them and good behavoir instead odd focusing on the negative behavoir.  Also when they mess up I don't get mad just say minus a point.  So at the end of the well if they have 10 points they get as treasure box item. This idea was defiantly inspired by God because it works well!  Also if they don't have 10 points by Friday they I have to make sure and pay attention to them so they can hey it by Saturday. Recently I habe been doing combined treasure box in a backyard f fun them theme.  So this week they for a slip n slide.  We opened it on Sunday.  The kids had a blast!  Hope did to but she couldn't pay very long because she bit the slide. But it still worked. 

I got all beautiful for church,  hair make up,  shaved,  nails,  warts treated, we all looked great! Right before church Zander had a melt down.  It's not really a tantrum because our is beyond that.  He screeams without stopping for up to 30 minute. Thrashing and tears. It is sad to watch.  You can lock him in a room or doesn't help him calm down.  You have to talk to him until you can get him to say one word about whats wrong. Then I have him deep breathe.  He responds well to me.  I can normally hey home to calm down.  Today took longer so courage had to sit on my lap on the way to church.  We took funny. Pictures!

Just keep swimming!

Today faith had a swim team meet. They swam the backstroke and freestyle. She gives it her all, I just need to practice her strokes with her. She was happy with her ribbons and has a good attitude. I brought my play hut and set it up for shade.  Several kids liked it. It was cool and cute! Earlier that day Evan wanted to take all the kids to see panda 3. Personally I don't think children should see pg movies but it was a nice distraction and cool.

That night faith and I went grocery shooping. It always costs so much! Just this cart full was $158!
