Day four...well this day was even better than the 3rd. As I said in my last blog, Jason and I booked an excursion to get off of the resort. We booked the excursion to an island called Las Caletas. Which was discovered by the director John Hudson and had said this was the most beautiful place on earth. We had to get up early and eat breakfast before taking a taxi to Vallerta Adventures by 8am. The boat was scheduled to take off at 8:30 for an hour ride. The Vallerta Adventures was really nice and the kids got to watch the dolphins, which they loved! There was a baby and once the kids went to the window where the tanks were at the dolphins (probably 10 of them) came out of no where. It was great! Camryn kept asking if she could go pet them :) We took a double Decker boat to Puerta Vallerta to pick up more people which was about a 20minute ride. The boat ride was really nice, the kids love being on boats. Birds were following the boat the entire ride which was pretty cool. After picking up about 50 more people we were on our way to Las Calitas. Once we arrived on the island, we went to the bathrooms, found the lockers and went to the beach. The sand was lighter, not as dark as neuvo where our resort was and the water was more blue. Camryn instantly tried to find shells and rocks, lol and Connor jumped the waves. Connor really wanted to zip line so we headed to the Canopy which was the kids area and he got suited up. Camryn didn't want to do it so we just watched. Connor had such a great time, there was a smile on his face the entire time. He got to do 2 zip lines and a line that went across a suspended bridge. After Connor went Camryn decided she wanted to go, unfortunately there were only 2 times to go and Connor went on the second. However, there was another couple there that had 3 boys and they really wanted to go as well, so Camryn was in luck because the girls allowed them all to go and Connor to go again! The girls that worked there were amazing, so sweet and great with kids!When Camryn got up there she got a little scared so the main girl rode the zip line with her, it was so sweet! The second time Connor did the Monkey which is riding the zip line upside down, he is a pro now. After this we went to have lunch and the tables were set up on the beach, it was so nice. Of course, my stomach started to hurt again. I started to have pains on Friday which I had hoped was from the food I was eating, not because it was Mexico but because I haven't been eating the way I was in Mexico. Which I knew wasn't really the case because I know what Kidney stone pains feel like and this was them.
After lunch we went to visit the Monkeys and the Parrots. The kids wouldn't even get close to either but Jason and I held the Monkey. We not only had to take our glasses off we had to hide them when we held the monkey. The Monkey was so soft and just sat on our shoulders.
We finished the trip on the beach just jumping waves, burying our feet in the sand and collecting rocks and waves. Camryn picked up 2 big rocks which she ends up trying to sneak through customs, but we will get to that on the 6th day.
It was time to leave at 3 and we loaded back on the boat and Camryn instantly fell asleep in my lap. On the ride back the guys on the boat decide to have a kids dance off, which Connor was in. He LOVED it. There were about 15 kids, and he was among 3 other kids that were awesome and of course they were all 5-6 years old. He had so much fun and when they were done, everyone was a winner and got a free drink from the bar which of course was Squirt with red soda, YUMMY! he was happy :) The rest of the ride was nice and relaxing in fact everyone on the boat was quite, lol.
We got back to the hotel and got ready for dinner, which tonight was at the Italian restaurant. The dinner was amazing, the best one so far. Jason and I had Chicken Marsalas with Risotto and the kids had Fettuccine Alfredo. Desert was delicious, they made the kids there own ice cream..see the pictures below.
After dinner we bought some more souvenirs and went back to the room and went directly to bed, it was a long and fun day!
