Family Vacation :: Tulum :: Day Two
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So on this trip I got eaten alive by mosquitos! C thinks I’m mental cause I talk like I’m the only one that EVER got bitten in the history of Mexico. Like you can bathe in an economy sized bottle of Off but it won’t do shit.I religiously sprayed it on each evening and nothing. I still got attacked (in all the places I sprayed, I might add). So Zoe saw me scratching my bites and just whining about it while we were walking outside.
Zoe: What’s wrong mommy? What happen?
Me: Zoe, the mosquitos are out to get me.
Zoe: Squitos?
Me: Yeah. They’re bugs that fly and they bite you and when they bite you you get an itchy like mommy
Zoe: Ohhhhhh. Can I see?
So she squats down to see the 5 bites that I had on my leg (SO FAR).
Zoe: Are you ok?
Me: I’m ok.
Zoe: Can I kiss it?
Me: Yes
So she leans foward to kiss one and says “All better!” and the she gets up all of a sudden and starts yelling to the air…
Zoe: SQUITOS! YOU LEAVE MY MOMMY ALONE! DON’T TOUCH MY MOMMY! IF YOU DON’T LISTEN…YOU GET A TIME OUT! OKAY?! LISTEN TO ME! OKAY!!!??? OR I GET MAD!And then she proceeded to do these invisible swings in the air to hoping that she might hit some. Oh Zoe, you sooo have my back unlike daddy, that bastard.
:: 07.05.10 :: Tulum :: Day Two
The day started of damp from early morning showers but it didn’t dampen our spirits. After breakfast we got dressed in our swimsuits and went swimming in the pool. Zoe was a lot more braver today and would jump off a ledge into our arms. She also made a new 4 yr old friend from Scottland. We started to notice little patches of red on Zoe’s skin and by the afternoon they’got bigger. We just kept on eye on her mysterious rash for the rest of the day. Oh and the hubs decided to extend her pool play way past her nap time which made Zoe super biyatchy. We went to check out the hotel’s kid’s club. You had to be 3 or older to stay. They let Zoe ride the swing for a bit and then when we decided it was time go she had a meltdown. See. Biyatchy. So by the time we went back to our rooms I put her down and the hubs went to go get us lunch and bring it back to the room. He tried their habanero sauce and fell in love even though he was panting and taking breaks in between his bites of Mexican food. I accidentally had a dash of it on something he brought back from me and I was DYING and tearing up. I just had a drop. I don’t know how he ate that throughout the trip. It started to rain late afternoon so we stayed in and watched DVD in our room. By evening Zoe’s face had pretty much cleared up so I was happy about that. We also decided to try their Italian restaurant that evening and I have to say it wasn’t that bad. Zoe loved their mac and cheese and then she finished it off with a bowl of ice cream and strawberry sauce.
Oh and it turns out she was allergic to the sunblock we were using so the hubs went to the pharmacy and picked this one up instead and she was fine.

CHEEEZEEEE
Looooove the last pic!
OMG are u gonna do day by day? Hahaha how many photos of cuteness can you fit in 7 days?! I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvve the last pic. We need to reschedule our playdate.
deep woods off is stronger. you can also fine 100% deet off. i don’t go anywhere without my Off. mosquitoes will find me out of a crowd otherwise.
great pictures! we’ve been to cancun and puerto vallarta. i’d love to go back.
@hkcho - dear jacob lover: it’s going to be 8 days of the jung’s family extravaganza!!!!! i need to check with the hubs but if we’re not doing anything this saturday we’d love to come over.
@Mad_Wife - yes she did. hahah but it wasn’t as thick as her parents.
The last pic is love!!!
@PetiteMandoo - WHAT THE HELL MAN! I’m a lover of Jacob and Edward equally. But my new man obsession = Jon Hamm of Mad Men. Google him. He blows both Edward and Jacob outtta the water….*don’t tell Nancy I said that–she will KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL me*
awww u guys are so cute!
pregnant women are more delicious to mosquitoes. it’s a fact alas.
it’s so cute how zoe stands up for you… even if it’s just to mosquitos!
the mosquitoes get a time out? man. she really does have your back. if i have a kid one day, i hope she attacks mosquitoes like zoe does.
i love that zoe has your back like that. and i still can’t believe what a big girl she is now. the pics are so cute. looks like she let you pin her hair back on day 2!
she’s so cute. I love her painful cheesy smile. what a funny kid.
you guys are just too precious for words. that mac n cheese looks good. M ordered it for my sister’s wedding rehearsal dinner, and i totally wanted it more than what i had. why the kid’s club only for 3+?
ooh the mosquitos llooovvee me too. but i think the trick is to buy the OFF in country you are visiting b/c the stuff they use are catered to those mosquitos…? when i went mexico my canadian stuff worked nada on me but the small bottle that i bought at my resort’s gift shop worked just fine!
I love the photos of Zoe eating. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of watching my little one eat too. You guys look like you had a blast!
