Snorkeling and Senor Frogs

I have a germ-a-phobe husband. Ok, Ok he isn't that bad but there is no way he would have us go on a Snorkeling tour in a different country without our own gear. Ryan and I already have our own since that was my present to him when we got married because we were going to Cabo then too. We got each of the kids their own color and snorkeling gear and now they can use it on any of the trips. No way would we put our mouths on the same mouth piece as a million others. The one plus though if you don't want to buy your own gear because you don't snorkel a lot you can buy just the mouth piece on the Cruise Ship for 5 dollars that you can throw away later.

We love snorkeling. Its so neat to really see deep down. Ryan and Cassie are usually the ones diving down deeper to see more.

Its pretty neat to go on a Snorkeling Excursion from the ship though because they boat you out to two different places. While you are headed there you are told all about the scenery and history too of Cabo. That is the main reason I wanted to do an excursion so its educational also.



Lovers Beach



This is Los Arcos Behind us. A very well known rock formation in Cabo. We usually snorkel at Lovers Beach but there were so many people we went out to two other places.

My favorite all time part of this Snorkeling Adventure was holding the puffer fish. I never even knew you could do that. The guide brought it to us and when we let it go it was neat to watch it shrink down back into its original form. Holding it so delicately and looking at its amazing features. They are so cute!

It was an amazing trip and we had a lot of fun. It was kind of over cast that day so we started to get a little cold by the end of it.

 The kids were starving by then so we decided to go to Senor Frogs a famous restaurant in Cabo. Its kind of a party place but its more of a restaurant. I liked it because they made it fun for the kids without any alcohol. They have great food and the servers are really friendly and fun.



Yummy food

After dinner we had an hour before getting on the ship so we walked the strip and bought some gifts for our nieces and nephew. The kids got to see some pretty neat people.



I was happy that they didn't have the little kids out that are always trying to sell you Chiclets. I personally think its horrible to have your 4-7 year old working. We never bought from them the last time we were there but we did buy them ice cream and give it to the kids. They have a new thing of kids not working there so that was nice to see. I think the kids should be playing not working to get money for their families.

The day was a great day. Snorkeling is something everyone should do. The only tips I have are make sure you spray your sunscreen on your backside really good:) If Ryan had a tip it would be buy your own equipment on Amazon. Its nice,inexpensive and worth it.
