Cozumel, Day 11

Plans for the water park are scotched for reasons. First, hey, it’s closed on Tuesday. And weather’s rolling in, at least from the look of the sulky gray sky. Add our Kayla appears to have picked up whatever Kat had this time last week. When I go over for a Nana check she feels warm. … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 11 →

Cozumel, Day 10

Griffin wants a playground, so Kat, Kayla and JR go off to try one. With the rest of our crew off snorkeling, I settle down to work a bit. It’s a pretty pleasant, breezy day, so I choose the patio. Nice, really nice, to sit outside, feel the breeze, glance up and see the shine … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 10 →

Cozumel, Day 9

Note from Laura: There are, indeed, pancakes. Cloudy and breezy make very nice weather for patio sitting with a book. Colt is late to the party as he decides to practice his shuffling. I believe we have a card shark in the making. I am incarcerated again when I go inside. My many escapes are … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 9 →

Cozumel Bonus Info

I thought it would be easier to share this as a post rather than an answer in the comments. What’s Nora reading? She sent me a list — that you can now add to your summer reading list: December ’41 by William Martin. A thriller set right after Pearl Harbor. The Golden Gate by Amy … Continue reading Cozumel Bonus Info →

Cozumel, Day 8

Again, I spend considerable time in jail. Griffin’s thrilled with my capture—repeatedly. He is judge and jury, it seems. It’s laundry time, and after studying the machine, I ask Kat to check and make sure I’m interpreting the Spanish controls correctly. Fortunately, I am, so we get that going. Reading time for me. It’s overcast, … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 8 →

Cozumel, Day 7

I end up in Griffin Jail many times over the morning. This seems to be his new addition to the Chase game. Kat makes omelettes for those who want them. She makes pretty ones. Kind of a lazy day otherwise, and, on parole, I go up and work a couple hours. Jason and Kayla head … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 7 →

Cozumel, Day 6

A day at home for me. Apparently I slept through a storm last night, and this morning clouds rolls in, roll out. A quick shower, sunshine, a sudden hard rain with the sun beaming. Then sunshine alone. Inside, Griffin challenges Nana to a chase. But he’s changed the rules! Now as I chase, he can … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 6 →

Cozumel, Day 5

As our Kat isn’t feeling well, Jason designates himself our chauffeur for shopping while the guys head off to fish. Kayla has enough Spanish to explain to housekeeping not to open the door to Kat’s bedroom as she’s resting. Before we head out we have a quick game of Daddy Gate. While Jason, Kayla, Griffin … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 5 →

Cozumel, Day 4

We experience, and test our mettle with, a day without power. No AC, no water, no internet, no nothing! Our hopes that this will be a quick fix are dashed. It’s island wide. So we have the pool, we have the Gulf, we have books and toys and cards. And make use of all. I … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 4 →

Cozumel Day 3

The three oldest kids and BW try out the Gulf. What fun—for them, and for me to watch. The practicing snorkeling in the pool worked great. Kayla, however, goes in, comes out and ditches her mask. She decides she’d rather not know those fish are in there! Logan finds a conch shell with an occupant. … Continue reading Cozumel Day 3 →
