The Pirate Ship

On one of the last days we were in Mexico we went on a pirate ship!! It was so much fun. Tyson just loved it. Alright, I'm exaggerating a bit....it was fun minus Carter and Jax being sick.
We took an early crazy bus ride into Peurto Vallarta and boarded the ship around 8 am. Breakfast was served and then we set sail. They put on a huge story/play for us, which included sword fighting (Tyson was thrilled), and all of the 'bad guys' walking the plank and jumping into the ocean!!!
We arrived at a basically private island, where MORE drinks were served. Jeff tried to go snorkeling, but there were far too many jelly fish. There was kayaking, banana boating & the best part.....a treasure hunt for the kids!
They played tug a war and had a few little races and then proceeded to dig for gold...which they eventually found. :)
Then we boarded the ship again to head back to Peurto Vallarta. They served a yummy lunch (probably the best I had on all of our trip), there were a lot of games on the way back too.
It was one of the best days we had, and I really think Tyson will remember it for a while!
Thank you Great Grandma McKay!!!!!
