Day 5: Costa Maya

After arriving at the Costa Maya port we borded a bus and headed for the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins. This was absolutely fascinating. We learned a lot on this excursion. It is so amazing that these buildings were made about 4000 years ago- and they're still standing.
The Costa Maya port was fun. We played in the salt water pool, did some shopping and played at the tide pools. Rob lifted up a rock and found a crab- I don't think we've ever seen a critter move as fast as that crab did.
Dinner tonight was at Lumieres. Conrad made the girls cute ketchup shapes again- every night its a different cute shape to dip their fries in. Tonight we had a Minnie Mouse and a footprint. (again- how can I possibly compete with this at home. We're lucky to have a blob of ketchup- I'm not skilled in ketchup art :) )
After dinner the girls went to their activities while Rob and I went with Shari and her mom to the nightly amazing show. After the show we got a page (we carried a pager so the Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab staff could call us if the kids needed us) saying to go to one of the lounges for as talent show by Maddies Oceaneer Lab group. It was so cute. The kids sang karaoke to several High School Musical songs- so cute. It was fun to have the parents paged to come and be the audience.
