Mayan

Stockton had a fantastic experience today. He was able to dive at the Mayan. Stockton's dive coach works at the Mayan and was able to let the dive team dive off the rocks before the Mayan actually opened. We all came to watch Stockton and were happily surprised to find my dad and Matt were already there.

Stockton dove off the high cliff, but his favorite was the medium size one. He loved doing one and a halves (not sure that is the right way to say this) off the medium cliff. The high cliff was scary enough just to jump off of - in my opinion. Stockton said the creepiest thing was leaving the pool through the secret exit. He would have to find a certain crack next to a rock that was sticking up. Then he would pull himself under and feel around for a flap. Once he was through the flap he would pop up.

As we were leaving the restaurant Stockton said, "It was worth doing dive team just for that!" I'm glad he had a great time. I loved watching him today and throughout the entire season. How nice of his coach to allow these kids this opportunity. It is something they will never forget.

Here are some quick videos of Stockton on the cliffs. Crazy!

I know! How cool. When we went here last year with you guys, never would I have believed that in one years time we would be living in Utah and Stockton would be diving off these same cliffs!
