Winter Break....
Well, family has been here and we have been "busy" doing not much. I'll have to recap later....

Still Mexico...a little stale, but must get it done!
We loved every minute of the sunny days in Mexico! On Sunday evening we walked down to the beach around sunset and it was stunning. We couldn't get enough of the warm mellow light, soft breezes, and the rythmic crash of the waves. We snapped a few of the fam while there...
Aren't they cute (Dan's parents)? Gotta love them...thank you again for the splendid stay!
Just the two of us....ahhhhh!~ (Dan is very scruffy the entire time. To him "vacation" includes leaving the razor behind--much to my dismay)
We ate one evening down in the center of Mazatlan. It was dreamy...the atmosphere not the food. (It was just so-so). They had the square lit with lights strung everywhere and it lent a soft glow to everything. There were many restaraunts surrounding the square and it was nice to just walk around. They had live music and vendors, of course, which added to the charm of the evening.
Just a quick drive down from the house is a quaint little beach and market. We headed down in the morning before Cal's nap and did a little shopping and beach-coming. It was a lovely day and the kids could have spent the entire time searching for shells and crabs along the beach and in the rocks. Cal wanted to run straight into the water mindless of clothing and shoes! Having no way to clean or dry him if he did take a dip we of course told him "no, not now..."
THIS was the result....the screaming went on.....and on....and on....until Grandma stepped in and showed him the joys of shell collecting!
A picture of our lovely girl at the market.
The kids loved "shopping" at the markets. I think it was the bright crazy colors of all the tourist goods for sale.
We took a ferry out to an island just off the coast and had a great time at a little beach there. We didn't have swimming gear with us, but that didn't stop Cal from charging the waves!
We ended the day with a nice trip to Ray's on the beach. We dined on lobster, shrimp, and steak and it was GOOD!
