November 23, 2014. Riviera Maya, Mexico. Lazy Day.

Everyone needs a break so today we did nothing. The Texas family one by one has had flu so this week is a welcome respite from activities and school and work. Sarah was the last one sick but David and Suzanne are still both coughing so today we luxuriated on the warmth of Mexico while sitting by the pool. All afternoon we sat by the pool. The girls wandered around both pools and took part in various activities but they too enjoyed lounging and talking. Our butler reserved two cabanas along with 8 lounge chairs and two straight back chairs for Ken and me. We had food 30 feet away while the young man brought us any drink we wanted all day. The rest room was 50 feet away and the pool right in front of us. David could not recall a day when he did absolutely nothing. And we all felt better every minute. It was a remarkable, lazy day. Molly of course was busy all day. She must have gone down the slide 100 times. The rest of the time she was in the pool. At dinner tonight I thought she might fall asleep at the table. Tomorrow Molly will turn seven. We will celebrate.
