Cancun- July 17th

This morning we met up with the guys at water skiing, and they cheered me on as I got up on a wakeboard. Afterward, we walked to the sailing area to check out boats. Tyler and Wells took one out, but Pearl, Alex, Nick, and I were stranded at shore because there was not an available boat. We swam around in our life vests to entertain ourselves. I saw my mom and Bess, our family friend, and took a sailing lesson with them. We soon returned back to shore, and Pearl, Alex, Nick, and I took out a boat. We tried so hard to capsize the boat with no success. Nick and I laid on the front and put our hands in the water as we sailed quickly. We acted like we were dolphins because we moved our hands like a dolphin's fin. We were laughing so hard in the front of the boat, we almost fell in. 

Soon as we passed Wells and Tyler, we jumped onto their boat and I almost fell in but I luckily grabbed the rudder. We landed and Tyler let me drive the boat. We sailed around, then when we docked, we walked to this kiddy playground nearby to play miniature golf. I was on Wells and Alex's team, and we won! We played around on these toys in the kiddy area, then walked to a table outside of Las Cazuelas to play catch phrase. We said that whoever got three points had to take a dare later that night, and Alex and Sam both got dares. 

When it was time for lunch, 1pm, we enjoyed Mexican food inside. After we finished our lunch, Nick and I enjoyed soft serve ice cream. Nick ate a total of 6 ice cream cones :p When we were full we began walking. 

We walked to the snorkeling cove and got suited up. We went out all together and had so much fun. Tyler saw a barracuda and Nick and I found this incredible hole with a giant blue fish in it. We popped our heads out and realized we were too far, so we headed in. We thought we lost pearl for a sec, and I freaked out, but then we found her far away and swam out to get her. On the way back to the shore, I gave Nick this weird leaf I found in the water, and he returned the favor by giving me a very nice piece of seaweed.

We walked back to the pool where we played chicken and did hand standing, breath holding, and somersault contests. We then walked over to water skiing where Pearl and I wake boarded again, without Nick. We dried off the best we could and went on the trapeze. I did another weird split, but after that I got the catch! We then walked back and played cards till it was time to get ready for the show.

Here's me on the trapeze:

I got all ready in my white elegant dress, then went to the sports award show with my mom. I was very grateful to receive an award for waterskiing and trapeze along with Pearl. We then ate dinner, which was delicious; especially the dessert. After dinner we ran downstairs to watch Joy perform, and she was fantastic. We walked to a cabana on the beach, and eventually Nick came and found us. We hung out with him for a while, then picked up Alex, Tyler, and Sam. We walked around and found ourself in the forest. We explored and it had so much fun. Sam scared me so bad, and everyone kept screaming. We made it through the forest walking barefoot, meanwhile the rocks became very jagged. Nick offered me a piggy back ride, and I cautioned him, but said yes. He picked me up, and realized he had a bad ankle he dropped me barefoot on the rocks.

We left the forest and sat on the beach for the majority of the night. We walked into the club, but it didn't seem fun, so we came back out and sat by the pool. When it was 11:50, I told them we should start going, but then Pearl and I realized we left our shoes somewhere, so we had to run to get them. I ran home with Pearl and Alex and went to sleep around 12:30am.
