Mexico Baby!

Our trip to Mexico needed it’s own post! We had so many beautiful, relaxing memories…and pictures :). We’ve never stayed right on the beach before. Literally. On. The. Beach. It was amazing to wake up and fall asleep to the ocean; enjoy all our meals with the backdrop of the ocean; grill by the ocean; even just laying around watching tv with the crashing waves in the background was amazing! We were so blessed by friends, and gifted their place to stay for five glorious days. This will go down as one of our most favorite family vacations.

Here follows a bunch of pictures, in no particular order, but all together a beachy-goodness story…

Beck was ready for the beach and using his “shuggle” (shovel) before we left the neighborhood :).

We have never had a beach experience like this one before. Every morning the tide went out about 100-200 feet, revealing the reef and a bunch of sea critters that we enjoyed discovering. It made for fun, morning adventure time with our coffee and the boys. It was so unique and memorable. We even found a baby octopus! Most days in the morning the waves were so little, and resembled more of a lake than an ocean, which made it possible for us to walk out really far and checkout some higher spots in the ocean that were little sandy islands. Then at night the tide would come in and we would have waves to jump. It was such a fun experience!

The neighbors we were next to were so amazing with the boys. And, they had Sam. Sam is their dog, whom Asher befriended, and still to this day he talks about Sam. They were buds. Asher is really scared of dogs, so this was a big deal.

Beck. It’s hard not to laugh at this! Crying with the beautiful ocean behind you, ha!

Punkie really picked up photography while we were there :). He was constantly snatching my camera. Here is the master hard at work, and some of the shots he took. Mexico through the lenses of a 3 year old. So cute.

I love this picture. Asher, this is a perfect imagine to show you how much you can trust your daddy. He will always do whatever he can to protect and care for you.

Portraits for keeps!

We got a beautiful sunset for our dinner up on a cliff!

What a blessing to have this wonderful trip over Mother’s Day too! Such a memorable day of hanging out, seeing dolphins, jumping waves with the boys, and just celebrating our family.
