Viva Cholla Bay!

It has been a while since the last post; we have been so busy with the move, and getting re-aquanted with San Diego. A lot has gone on, so we might have a few posts right in a row.

Last week week we were able to spend 5 days at my grandparents beach cabin in Mexico. My grandparents were nice to let us tag along; initially I pretty much invited Ammon and I, and then within a few days, the whole gang decided to come as well. Poor grandparents; expecting a quiet weekend with the two of them, and then 8 of us showed up. They were great and it turned into an amazing trip.

The cabin is just a few feet from the beach. The beach is unlike any other; each day the tide goes out and then comes back in twice. When it goes out. . . it's out (about 2 miles out). When the tide is out you can walk along for miles and find all types of crabs, shells, and other ocean goodies that did not make it with the tide. Then around noon the tide starts creeping back in. Within an hour, it looks like a regular ocean right ouside the cabin door. Crazy huh?

It was a tough trip. Look at how hard Ammon is working.

Kailee and Taylor loved having Scout around. . . and she didn't seem to mind their company either.

Look at how cute. Thanks Brandon and Mich for letting us use Cosette's cool floatie (this one was much cooler than what we bought for Scouter at Walmart for $2.00).

We didn't know at the time, but apparently as this picture of Scout in the sand was being taken, her little bum was in the process of completely getting eaten by sand fleas. Ammon picked her up, and we noticed there was blood dripping down her leg. We look in her suit, and there were 30 little maggot looking things crawling all over. It was awful, blood everywhere. Scout's a little stud, she didn't even cry once. Now we know. . . watch out for Mexican sand fleas! Thank goodness Pig Flu isn't transmitted thru fleas.

Look at her, styling in her suit, hat, and even complete with baby sunglasses. Too bad blogs don't have a 'scratch and sniff' option, then you could all get the entire experience by smelling how Scout completely reeked of sunscreen. Got to protect that pure baby skin! (You all should know that Ammon didn't want me to put sunscreen on her: he said she needs to get some sun so she can turn into the "brown baby she was meant to be." Oh Ammon.)

Scout and her cousin Cosette hangin out. These two weren't too into eachother, they mostly just stole eachother's toys. Maybe someday. . .

Scout playing Peek-A-Boo with Grandpa. I love this picture.

Hmmmm, Grandma's famous tacos! Pretty sure we each downed at least 10 of them (calories don't count right?. . . we're on vacation). I tell you, those tacos are like little pieces of goodness wrapped in a tortilla.

What a good picture to end on. It doesn't get any prettier than a 'Cholla Bay Sunset.'

Ammon was worried that they wouldn't let him back across the border. Don't worry- he made it.

Also, no worries. . . we all made it home Pig Flu free.
