Club Med Ixtapa We visited the Club Med in Ixtapa, Mexico, for a week

At the crocodile pond		Peter at the beach


Kenny demonstating his soccer skills		Kenny being swung by the trapeze man


Kenny's all set for the flight with his teddy, dvd, and some juice.		The circus/trapeze setup at Club Med


The Club Med beach is great - huge, pretty private, not too wavy.		The Club Med accomodations


This is where we stayed last time we were here, 4 years ago


The main lobby		I always tell Eric, please show your teeth when you smile, but he rarely does!


One of the lifeguards caught an iguana		Kicking a soccer ball with Peter


Peter at the playground


At the crocodile pit at Playa Linda - Kenny's pretty flushed with the heat


There were also lots of iguanas around		This is another all-inclusive club, just north of Club Med


We ended up walking back to Club Med along the beach		Passed some boarded up houses/hotels





We told Kenny that this is where Mexican boys on a time-out went. I don't think he believed us.		The Miramar Bar at Club Med


Sunsets were so uniformly gorgeous that we almost became immune to them


Eric found a cat		Watching a show


		We took a water taxi to Isla Ixtapa - great little trip





After snorkeling, we walked around the island.		View back to the mainland


Some awesome cactues





Fluff from these plants were everywhere


		This is the beach where we rented a palapa


We met this friendly Canadian couple on the water taxi


This is the Baby Club Med


		Watching a puppet show


An obstacle course run by the Petit Club, which Kenny went to


The pool at the Petit Club		Roller blading


After mini-golf for the kids came some coloring time. They were pretty clever about the scheduling of the activities.		GOs came by the pool area with fruit snacks


The pool was great, but whew! That sun beating down was STRONG		Kenny and Eric at the beach


A sand castle building contest





Sand fun with Peter


		Kenny enjoyed learning ping pong, too
