Mexico 2009 ~ food and drinks

Once again, breakfast was our favourite meal of the day. Our fussy little boys always found lots of yummy food at the buffet restaurant for breakfast. They liked to eat cereal, waffles, pancakes, muffins, bacon and toast. Rick and I quite liked the omelettes. For lunch, we would often go back to the buffet restaurant. Sometimes we would grab a burger or a hotdog at the snack bar by the beach.

One night we got dressed up and went out to the Japanese restaurant. The waiter at the Japanese restaurant really took a liking to Caleb :) even though he didn't eat much of his supper.

Another night, we went out for Italian. We had a bit of a later reservation so the boys were getting kind of grouchy near the end of our meal. But the food was good.

Caleb's grape juice mustache!

Rick and his morning coffee!

Now check out the kid's drink menu:Sponge bob! Pikachu special! The boys were in heaven! They tried them all except for the Barbie Special (that's for girls). Sometimes mom and dad even got themselves a kid's drink too!

I believe Caleb is drinking an Ola Marina in this photo.

We ate most of our meals in the buffet restaurant. The boys usually ate the most for breakfast. They liked trying new (sugary) cereals, muffins, waffles, pancakes and fruit. Mommy and Daddy liked the omelette bar. I'd always take a few slices of bread and some peanut butter and jam so that I could make sandwiches for them later.

We often went back to the buffet for lunch. Matthew would eat a hard boiled egg just about everyday. Caleb was a bit trickier to please, until they started serving dino buddies (chicken nuggets)! We were so happy to see the boy finally get some protein. Rick and I enjoyed the fresh guacamole and yummy taco chips. Delicious.A few times, we had to stop our meals to do some whale watching. (of course everytime you try to get a photo of a whale, you miss it!) But check out the ocean view from the restaurant.Sometimes, we went to the beach hut for lunch instead. We'd eat burgers, hotdogs, pizza and potato chips. And plenty of orange pop to drink...We usually at supper at the buffet restaurant. But on our last evening, we made reservations for the fancy italian restaurant. The boys came with us, all dressed up. The behaved like little gentleman, for the most part. The waiters were very kind and even brought Caleb a special order of french fries, since he's not a big fan of pasta. It was nice to have a special meal together.

seven on Sunday

1. I think I'm going to buy this book. Has anybody read it?

2. I made this Tex-Mex Lasagna last week and it was very tasty. Especially for a dish without any meat. :)

3. Rick's company had their Christmas party last night (yes, we know it's January) and I won a gift card to Tim Hortons and Rick won a gift card to Best Buy. Woo hoo! They have the best prizes. (too bad we didn't win the cirque du soleil tickets)

4. I invented some new games today:

Game #1- Garbage Hunt-Go around your house and collect anything that belongs in the garbage. Count it and see who won.

Game #2 -Laundry Hunt- Very similar to Game #1, except you go hunting for laundry items left around the house. Don't forget to look under beds! Count your items to see who wins.

Game #3 - "I wanna go home!"(must be said in a very whiney voice)- Pretend that you are one of the toys on the floor in the living room. Then say "I wanna go home!" The toy wants to go home. You have to save the toy and take him back to his home (the toy box, the shelf, etc)

5. Caleb's been sick :( And so has Grandma. Get well soon.

6. Our passports arrived this week. I'll spare you all the details involved in getting an appropriate photo of Mr. Caleb.

7. Well, that's all the stuff for today. Have a great week!
