Cancun--Day 4--XPLORE and Margaritaville

Day 4 had us traveling about an hour away to a zip-lining adventure park called XPLORE.
They offered 2 zip-lining courses, rafting through a cave, swimming through a cave, driving an ATV vehicle through trees, caves, and bridges, and a huge buffet with about any type of food you could want.
Good Morning Cancun!

The entrance to Xplore!

Kristi, David, and me with our cool helmets on--in the background is a dinosaur
in some water--which is where one of the zip lines ended.

Craig and Terri--ready for their adventure as well!

Putting our items in the lockers and getting ready to head out--
we started with the ATV because zip-lining had a huge line--we got right into the ATV and enjoyed driving--especially through the caves. Layne and I decided to leave our camera in the locker--there was a lot of water areas here and plus they had cameras set up all over the adventure park that took pictures for us. We plan on ordering pictures soon and then I can put more of our fun and adventure on the blog for you to actually witness our zip-lining fun!


This was the huge heart that beat and was the main area for the whole adventure park--
if you could find your way back to the heart, then you could get anywhere!
We all enjoyed zip-lining, except we did zip-lining over the lunch hour and we were starving--plus every time you zip-lined, then you had to climb stairs to do another zip-line--I loved it, but I was sure feeling 30 years old!
We did the rafting and swimming after lunch--rafting was probably my favorite--it was through a cave with crystal clear water!

We finally made it back to the hotel around 7 that night--Adriane and Uncle Clay had
arrived and Jake and Janell had kept them entertained by enjoying the hotel, pool, and then on to playing cards--the 4 of them were going to enjoy zip-lining on Wed.!

We decided since the whole gang was here to go out to eat. Bubba Gump Shrimp sounded fun, but as we neared some restaurants, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville had great music coming from inside and they also gave us a coupon for everyone to get a free Margarita--so we headed inside for great food and wonderful entertainment!

Janell and Jake--enjoying the BIG chair!

Layne and I in the Margarita chair!

My In-Laws--what can I say!--we did get a wonderful group picture of all of
us in colorful sombros--but Terri has the pic--so I will have to get it from her soon.

Our food--Jake has cool Kabobs and Nell and David had the
biggest pickles we had ever seen!

The night would not have been complete without dancing, singing, shots, and
a free shirt give away! We had a table up front and we made sure Craig got chosen to try and win a free shirt! 4 guys were the contestants--each got a shot of Tequilla and then they had to dress up and do a dance--Craig did not win, but we yelled loud for him and he gave it a great shot!
Here he is doing his Jamaican Dance that he had to do--all the guys
were pretty entertaining--although the winner was the guy from Mexico who had to dance the Mexican Hat Dance--he knew the whole routine--it seemed pretty rigged, but we laughed alot and had a wonderful time!

Craig in all his dancing glory--he also got a free
Margarita--so maybe it was worth it?!

All the ladies as we were leaving Margaritaville for the night!
