OH BOY! Where do I start?? I have been dreading this post because I know it is going to take me soooo long. Lets just say I had to narrow down 600 pictures! So here comes picture overload! We were fortunate to attend my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary in Cancun, Mexico! Every single one of their kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids were in attendance except for my brother Joel and his wife (which really was a bummer because it would have been so fun to have someone with us who spoke spanish!) Maybe next time bro:) We had SO much fun! We can't wait to go back...and here is the story of our trip!
 |
The night before we left, Ash & I made my dad a birthday
cake since we would be in Cancun on his actual bday:) |
