Cancun

So, we just got back this week from an amazing vacation in Cancun. We left a foot of snow in Indiana, came back to that same snow, and then received a few more inches our first day back in town. Oh how we wanted to go back to the beautiful beaches on Mexico!!!

We were lucky enough to stay in an awesome all-inclusive resort (thanks to my mother-in-law and her new husband). It was great! These are some pictures of some huge statues in the front lobby of the hotel.

Here are some pictures of the gorgeous pools. I don't know exactly how many there were. Right outside our building was a pool and just a few feet away was the beach. I am so mad at myself because I didn't take any pictures of the beach. I had a sleeping baby on me most of the day we were there. The beach was absolutely beautiful, though, and the waves were awesome! Scott and I had a great time playing in them.

Garrison had a great time while we were there. He did great out in the sun. He borrowed his cousin, Lincoln's, sunglasses. He was ready for the beach!!

One thing I loved about the resort is that it played mostly 80's music. This is a picture of Garrison and I sitting in the building that housed the poolside buffet. I could have sat in there all day listening to the music!

Alix and Lincoln at the rehearsal dinner.

The happy couple the night before their wedding. We went to a Japanese steakhouse for the rehearsal dinner. It was a hibachi-style restaurant. It was a lot of fun!!

Mimi and some of her guys.

This was the church the Terri and Rich were married in. It was so pretty!

Scott walked his mom down the aisle. This is him giving her away to Rich. It was a special moment. The view from the window in the back was beautiful! You saw palm trees and the ocean. Gorgeous!!!

Jackson (the kids new cousin) was the ring bearer. He did a great job! He is one of the most adorable kids I've ever met. He also has the sweetest voice. It just makes you melt. He got a little tired during the ceremony, so he decided to lie on the floor using his ring bearer pillow.

The exchange of vows.

Myself and Amy (Rich's daughter) sang two songs during the ceremony. It was great singing with her!

Diane and Ashley were the bridesmaids. Don't they look great?! I loved the colors of the wedding: pool blue and brown.

The new Mr. & Mrs. Bonneau!! Yea!!!!

Garrison and Scott after the ceremony.

We went to a beach after the ceremony to take some pictures. Here are the young grandchildren that were present. Garrison (8 months), Lincoln (3 1/2 months), Maeve (3 months), and Jackson (2 1/2 yr.). Maeve and Jackson are Rich's grandchildren, and our new niece and nephew.

At the reception Garrison fell asleep and was out cold after a while. It had been a long day!

I love this picture of Scott and his mom at the reception. Amy (Rich's daughter) is in the background. We really hit it off with Rich's family. They are awesome, and we are so glad to have them as a part of our family now!

The happy couples' first dance. They had secretly taken a few dance classes, and they did a great job!

Bryan and Alix had a fun time on the dance floor!

Diane and Scott took their turn on the floor.

Time to cut the cake! The cake was absolutely delicious! The layer I had was a while cake with strawberry filling. It reminded me of a superb strawberry shortcake (the kind with the soft, fluffy cake). Yum!! The other layer was a chocolate with a chocolate filling. I didn't eat it, so I can't really describe it, but I heard it was just as good as the strawberry.

We spent a great deal of our last day with Bryan, Alix, and Lincoln. At lunch, Scott and Bryan decided to have Lincoln and Garrison have a little arm wrestling match. I'm not sure who won, but Garrison wasn't too happy after, so maybe that means Lincoln won.

Garrison had a great time while in Mexico. He was a great sport and did very well. He is such a great baby, and oh so cute!!

There was an ice cream bar there. Here he is trying a little cookies 'n cream. He quite enjoyed it!

He also had his first Pina Colada (virgin, of course)...

which became my favorite drink. I had many while we were there. I had to have one more before we left for the airport. Yummy!!!

We had a great time and are so thankful to all our family who helped us out by watching Grant, Gavin, & Gabrielle while we were gone!
