A New Day
We spent a lazy day at the resort. Paddle boards and swimming. relaxing and chatting and gaming and eating and drinking.
And FAMILY PICTURES
The WHOLE CREW!
Here we are in age order 🙂
And then it was time to eat again… and take over karaoke night.
We took a boat ride out to a private island! Once we got there we split into three groups – a lot of the guys went spear fishing, Another boat went fishing and we went on the fishing/snorkeling boat.
The snorkeling ended up being pretty wimpy but we did see some crabs and conche and fish. Then they taught us how to fish with just fishing line!
Then back at the island the tour guides cooked up all of the fish that we caught!!
We did some snorkeling on the way back to the resort and that was our day. It was pretty Great!
We got back with a little time to swim and then eat dinner.
Dinner Time
Wednesday october 11th we left for my moms 70th Birthday trip. We left the kids home with Benji in charge again! Benji worked all week so I think the other kids did the work. They are amazing kids! So all 12 of moms kids and their spouses at an all inclusive in Belize! Salt Lake to Dallas 5:19am. Then Dallas to Belize City 10:09am.
We didn’t even go to sleep tuesday night. We packed and said goodbye and left for the airport around 2am. We picked up Sean and Jana and were off. In Dallas we met up with the California crew.
Once we got to Belize City we took a small airplane to Dangriga and then an hour in a van to Hopkins – Belizean Dreams Resort. They rolled out the red carpet for mom and then had to remake all of our welcome drinks when we told them that none of us drink alcohol.
We got settled in our rooms/houses and headed for the beach, pool, bar! We stayed in the same house as Kevin and Liz! Once we got to the bar someone ordered a “chunky monkey” and I was hooked the rest of the trip – a chocolate banana shake!
The pool water and the ocean were literally 95 degrees. The entire resort holds maybe 100 people but we were the main group. There were a few other couples there. It was small but nice and dinner was a menu instead of a buffet. It was pretty awesome.
Joel and Megan were in town so we got invited to Dagny’s birthday Party! It was at Megans sisters house. It was good to see those guys and spend some time with them!
Pinata!! and then Brownies and ice cream!!
This was our 4th party in a row and the only one we weren’t hosting!
Thursday: Rose Bday, Friday: Great Pumpkin, Saturday: Millie bday, Sunday: Dagny bday!
We made it to the Drive in! Kelsey and Heidi met us there! We didn’t have the best movie options but it is always a party! We watched Gran Turismo.
Shae and Ty came to visit! Shan and Sean and Kel came to play too! Saturday adn Sunday Fun!
What a fun night with Family and friends! We went to the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds!! We had lots of family come – and Benji Boy brought home the trophy! SO MUCH FUN!
The end of another successful Robertson reunion!!
Packing up camp. Book Club. LUNCH.
We had to pack up camp and head for home – but not before a little bridge jumping! I was too scared but MOST of our kids and most adults and kids made the jump!! And then we stopped at the lazy river for one more dunk before the drive home!
Millie did her thing — where she really wanted to jump but was too scared to jump and waited and cried and worried and wonderedand then she FINALLY did it!
HEADING HOME
Our main event for the day was lazy river run with EVERYONE 🙂 It was so fun to float and swim and hangout in the water 🙂
And then back to camp!! and the TALENT SHOW!! The kids love preparing for it and they surprised us with some really funny ones this year!
The river was so cold but the hot springs were so hot – so you had to find the right mix of water 🙂 The kids and I all got brave enough to jump in the rapids! It was a bit scary, Sam got pulled under for a minute! I made sure the kids were wearing life jackets! We just hung out and made some Robertson fun 🙂
and back to camp for food and fun and games – – and I had been waiting all day to get cell service to find out if Cali and Mia made the soccer team??? Ray went into town to watch the USA soccer game with Michael and Shannon. Christy and Rob and I went for the 2nd half. And Tracie and Kylee announced that they are pregnant!
