It was humid though and my hair was curling off in all directions.<\/p>\n<p>We had a good breakfast, and went off to the Xcaret park.  We wandered through the rain forest, we saw a mushroom farm, flamingos, a fish and shrimp farm, and lots of orchids and bromalias.  We also saw sea turtles, from 1 month old to full grown.   That was all before lunch.  It was lots of walking.  We came back to the resort for lunch, and tried to nap.<br \/>\nGrandma and grandpa took Rebecca this afternoon and saw dolphins, manatees, and the butterfly atrium.<br \/>\nA and I got flipper, masks, snorkels and lifejackets, and spent an hour floating\/swimming down an underground river.  It was quite cool, (meaning neat).  We were also warned that the water would be very cold, and we shouldn&#8217;t bring R.   It wasn&#8217;t that cold, or maybe we&#8217;re just proudly canadian.  It was very tranquil, and we spend some of the time in underground caves.   Unfortunately we didn&#8217;t have time to see the rest of the park or the nightly show.   Still, we&#8217;d likely go back if we were in this area again.<br \/>\nWe had another good supper.  My daughter hasn&#8217;t yet met a piece of sea food she didn&#8217;t like.  So for supper she ate about 30 shrimp, and likely about 20+ muscles.  In fact she went back for more muscles for dessert.<br \/>\nIn the evening we went to the kids&#8217; show, and R danced on stage with the other kids.  Then they had a pinata, and all the kids took turns whacking at it.  R loved the candy pick up!<br \/>\nIt was a nice day.   R is becoming fast friends with 2 Irish girls.  We&#8217;ll be seeing them at the pool tomorrow.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thingsthatgrowinmygarden.com\/?page_id=423\">Gallery is here.<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was another cloudy day here, although it didn&#8217;t rain.
