Ear Trouble

On our Trip Sunday I  had some ear trouble I felt like I  had water in my ear and was having a hard time hearing after swimming all day.  I  got in the shower and tried to jump and hop it out.  I  got out and used a q-tip and thats when I  could feel I  had compacted something against my eardrum and could hardly hear out of the ear.  It just sounded like I  had noise canceling headphones in.  It was awful and I  had a hard time not thinking about it.  I  got home and borrowed a ear thing from devin.  Dean said that their was a big blockage and he couldn't even see inside my ear.  I  started pouring hydrogen peroxide in my ear with a mix of water to try and soften up the wax.  By Friday I  went down to Lisa who said she had all teh stuff to get it out.  I  only took a couple of minutes for her to break through and get it out.  It was lighter because of the hydrogen peroxide but it felt so good to get it out of my ear.  I  could hear again!!! Lisa asked to post it online so she could show people and last she had told me I  was at 1.5 million views a Ear dr even reposted and gave us a 9/10 with the execution and doing everything right.  I  was just glad to have my hearing and normal feeling ear back!

 

Playa del Carmen day 6 (travel day)

The girls had wanted to get pictures on the beach the whole vacation and we were just so busy it never happened but tuesday morning before we left we were able to go down to the beach and grab some pictures.  It was windy and the sun was in a horrible spot for any good pictures, but we got some none the less.  We found a lady walking on the beach and asked her to take our family picture, and those ones turned out the worst. lol. but the kids ones turned out okay and the kids had fun walking down on the beach that morning.  They had just cleaned up some of the seaweed and the beach looked the best it had the whole trip.  We went back to the condo and finished packing nad heading out to the airport.  We had to be out by 10:00 and our flight was at 11:45.  We got to the airport and through customs and everything fairly fast. The kids all grabbed some burgers and fries while we waited for our flight.  Our flight took us to Texas where we had a 4 hour layover.  we packed cards and things to keep us entertained but it was a long day.  We left Texas around 7:00 and made it to Phoenix by 7:15 Phoenix time.  We grabbed some Chick fi la and waited for out last flight to take us to St. George airport.  We left at 9:45 from Phoenix and got home around 12:30 and in bed by 1:00.  It was such a long travel day but everyone was champs and everything went smooth.  I  loved spending this time with my family and some friends.  We have so much change coming up in our home it was nice to have some one on one time.

 

Playa Del Carmen day 5 TULUM

Monday morning the Wheelers still weren't feeling good so we went exploring to Tulum. We went to the ruins.  Its a national park so we had to pay to get in and walk around, but it was fun to learn more about them, and it was so beautiful right up against the cliff that drops down into the ocean.  We spent a couple hours looking at all the ruins and looking for all the iguanas.  They were everywhere.  After Tulum we headed out to some Cenotes and get a lunch.  We hit up a taco buffet at the cenotes before we went out.  Again we were all starving and the tacos were good overall we then headed out on a tour of 4 different cenotes.  The first one was a really small cave.  Preston almost had to lay on his back in the water so his head wouldn't hit the ceiling.  The water was extra cold but the water was crystal clear and so beautiful.  The next cenote was the jumping cliffs.  The kids favorite probably.  We all jumped off the highest one and had fun playing in the water.  The next cenote was a longer river trail then we headed to another cave.  This one was the coldest since it doesn't see any sun.  It was a little longer then the first and again the water was so blue and beautiful.  We left the cenotes around 5:00 and headed down to do some shopping at some flea markets.  We tried to be fast so we wouldn't be out past dark but it took awhile for the kids to find anything they liked and parking wasn't going in our favor.  We did find almost everything the kids wanted at great prices.  The kids are bargainers.  (love it).  We then grabbed authentic street tacos on our way home.  The meat is cooking on the side of the road and everything.  I  didn't eat any, but everyone said they were the best tacos they had while down there.  They all loved them.  We then let the kids swim one last time since we would be leaving the next day.
