Making Iguanas!

Mackenzie and Josiah painting iguanas! They both love to make crafts. Mackenzie had just told us earlier this same day that she really wished she could make a craft. How funny that we stumbled onto this opportunity at the resort after she made that request! Too bad this was not included in the price of the resort, but it was worth the $7 per child as it made a nice keepsake souvenir for them.
I guess I would describe the iguana as ceramic that the kids were painting. Once they finished painting them, the man said we could come pick them up tomorrow. When we arrived the next morning, we found the iguanas "finished." They had a shiny glaze with finishing details and everything! That man had put a lot of work into finishing the kids craft and making it a work of art to treasure! :)



Our Iguana Hunt

It wasn't really an iguana hunt, but rather a boat ride through the canal area at The Grand Mayan resort. We just happen to see at least 3 and no more than 20 iguanas during any given boat ride! The kids loved watching for the iguanas in the bushes alongside the canal. Kind of like an easter egg hunt! The boat rides were free to guests staying at the resort, and we found them fun and relaxing.

One of the many iguanas we spotted along the way. The long striped tail resembles a snake to me!
These iguanas are certainly bigger than I realized!
