We got suited up in our wet suits and our instructors had us practice how to get up on our boards on the beach.
For Dave, Lex, and I they would just go out with us and get us set up to hit the waves just right. Dave was less successful, but Alexis and I were able to get up most of the time.
The ziplines ran across a small valley and the first one went over a pond.
Between the ziplines, you had to cross crazy bridges to get to the next zipline. I was behind Seth, who did a great job but liked to have his space and not have anyone near him to shake the bridge (which Lee liked to do to freak everyone out).
The biggest zipline went clear across the little valley and the little kids had to get strapped up to a grown up to have enough weight to make it across. Everyone loved this activity and it was the highlight of the trip for most of the cousins. We think it would be fun to have a family reunion there.
Our instructors would ride the back of the surf board for Camryn and Seth, helping them be able to catch almost every wave.

Surfing was fun, but exhausting. Just paddling out and getting set up wore me out! The next day I was sore in muscles I never knew I had. We had a great time and thought it was well worth it to try something new.
We got dropped off back at the boat, ran in to change (there was sand everywhere!), then headed over to the huge flag at the Ensenada Port to meet up with the rest of the family. Jeff had set up for us to rent vans to drive out to Las Canadas to go ziplining.
We got there and got harnessed up.
Seth and some of the littler cousins were technically too short to zipline, but in Mexico rules are more like suggestions, so they got strapped up to go too.

The vans divided up by who wanted to go to see La Bufadora and who wanted to stay at Las Canadas. Alexis went with the cousins to shop and see the blowhole, while the rest of our little family stayed with Lee's family and the kids rode a tobaggan and played in the kiddie pool. We made it back to the boat in time for dinner.
That night we went to watch a Newlywed Game Show. We were trying to get Ryan and Chris on it, but I guess we weren't loud and crazy enough. Later we went to look for the folks and we found them in the adults only hot tub - first time I ever remember seeing my mom in a swim suit. Historic!
