Dear Kids,
Bacalar was AMAZING! We stayed the night in Chetumal and then spent the day in Bacalar. It is a lagoon with very special rocks and bacteria that produce 3x as much oxygen as the trees! It keeps the water crystal clear and just amazingly beautiful.
We went and saw several cenotes and the beauties of the area. Then after the boat ride we went to another private mini lagoon that was south a bit, a spot that the locals go to. It was amazing! When we got there we decided that we wanted to swim all the way to the other side. So everyone together kept swimming. We saw a mangrove tree that was on the other side and Talia started calling it "the tree of life". And the last one there was going to be a 'rotten Lamanite'. It was hilarious. We made it to the other side and everyone looked behind them and was amazed at how far they had come. It was a long swim, but slowly and surely we were able to make it across.
That is how life is too. We see a goal and we know we want to get there, but then it takes a lot longer to get there than we every really realized it would. In the middle of trying to reach our goal it's easy to want to try and give up. But then you get into a rhythm and before you know it, you make it across to your goal. And then you look back and see how far you have come. I love it so much, how many experiences in life can teach us many life lessons.
We swam back and enjoyed the Lagoon a little while longer before it was time to leave.
It was a beautiful place. I am amazed at how many amazingly beautiful places there are in the world. So many! The Lord created this earth and beautified it in phenomenal ways - all for our enjoyment! It's amazing! I hope you can look back and really appreciate how wonderful it was to be able to have all these experiences while we were traveling in Mexico.
I love you kids. I love your souls. I love your goodness. I love everything about you. Thank you for teaching me all the time.
I love you ,
Your Mom
