Puerta Vallarta

The first week of my summer break my family went to Puerta Vallarta for vacation. Andrew had just got home from his mission, so it was a lot of fun to spend time with him and to be all together. Everyone except for Luke was able to make the trip so it was a lot of fun. Being the Toolson family, there was a lot of food, laying out, playing with kids, eating, swimming, cards, and fun in general.

Ben can get a little competitive :)

One of the fun things that we did on our vacation was go on a zip lining tour. I have been on zip lines before but this experience was amazing. We took a 45 minutes speed boat ride on the ocean, which was beautiful, then when we got there we rode mules to the top of the mountain, which was definitely an interesting experience. When we got to the top we went on about 7 or 8 zip lines, a few suspension bridges, a free fall zip line, and repelled down a waterfall.

Our last morning in Puerta Vallarta, we went to the breakfast buffet
those time share people know how to get on our family's good side :)

It was such a fun week, to be away from the busyness of home, not having the phone ring all the time, no school, no work, and just to spend quality time with my family. Thank you Dad for making it all possible.
