Ava and Harlow’s Cancun Adventure August 2025

Off to Cancun

While Christine and I snuck away to Roatan, Ava and Harlow had a big adventure of their own! The girls flew to Cancun with Lundy and Frank and their girls Mila and Audrey, along with Lundy’s sister’s family, Ricky and Jenny and their kids Jaden and Ellie. The airport selfies started before they even boarded.

Beach Photo Shoot and Sunset on the Dock

Everyone got dressed up in white for a beach photo shoot, and the pictures came out amazing. The whole crew lined up on the dock at sunset, then headed out for a fun dinner together.

Glass Pool Fun

The resort pool had a glass wall, and the kids spent hours swimming, posing for underwater shots and lounging in the hammocks.

Dressed Up for a Night Out

Night two meant dressing up, a carousel ride and some serious dessert.

Catamaran Day

The highlight was a catamaran day out on the turquoise water, with snorkeling, sunbathing on the nets and a stop in town for some exploring.

Evenings at the Resort

Back at the resort the girls kept the fun going in the pool, the hanging egg chairs and the lobby.
