Mexico: La Esquina, Rangers, and Goodbyes

Our time in Mexico was over too fast. Here are few parting images from this year's adventure:

Oscar and Marimar's cafe, La Esquina, is a wonderful meeting spot. On this day we got to see Oscar's family and enjoy a delicious breakfast.

Maya washes Pop's Ranger (which Maya calls 'the tractor').

Nice work, Maya!

On our last night we ate dinner at Marimar's house, Lulu and Pop somehow manage to get both grandchildren to sit still for a photo.

Alas, it was time to go home. Maya shows her excitement about spending time at the Cabo airport. What a great trip!

Mexico: Sunset Fun

We took a drive up to La Pastora beach to watch the sunset. We had the whole beach to ourselves and took advantage of the great light to get some photos...

Grammy and Papa take Maya on a wild ride.

Pop looks out at the sun sets and the moon rises. Another beautiful day.

Mexico: What We Do All Day

A few of the daily activities during our trip...

Maya tries on hats and buys a toy violin.

Maya gives Grammy and Pop a tour of the town of Todos Santos.

Pop and Grammy help Maya become a tennis expert.


Santi referees a game of paddle tennis.

Santi and Maya dig, fill, dump, repeat.

Mexico: Thankgiving Turtles

This Thanksgiving we worked up an appetite walking down to the beach to watch the nightly release of the newly hatched sea turtles. After sunset, we headed back home for a delicious turkey dinner. We were so thankful to have so many members of the family together.

Turtle eggs have all been collected from nearby beaches and buried here by volunteers. Right on schedule the turtles hatch (and dug up by volunteers) ready to head for the ocean.

Little sea turtles just hatched hours ago.

Maya pets the turtle.

Go turtles go!


Enjoying sunset after the turtle release.






Thanksgiving dinner was yummy. Although we didn't capture a shot of the adult table, the kid table sure was cute!

Serious cousins.

Silly cousins.

Mexico: With a Twist...

This will be Maya's third trip to Mexico at Thanksgiving. This year included two very special visitors...

After a thrilling plane ride, we were very excited to see...

...Grammy and Papa!

We soon arrived at Lulu and Pop's house where Maya enjoyed checking out the pool...

and spending time with all four grandparents!
