Mexico: Family Fun

We spent the last bit of our short trip doing all sorts of good stuff...

Maya continues her tradition of washing the Ranger.

While Maya was doing this...

...Momma went to La Esquina and got to spend some special time with Kalea and Marimar.

Later we drove out to see some new property for Marimar, Oscar, and Santi.

It's an amazing piece of farm land near the ocean. It will be fun to see what they do with it!

Maya also got to have fun spending time with family friends kids who were visiting Todos Santos, Amelie and Emmett.

Sadly, it was time for the cousins to say goodbye.

Maya loves Kalea and so do we.

Mexico: Backyard Horses?

On this fine morning, Maya came over to my room and said, "Mommy, there are horses outside." Indeed there were. We had fun playing with the horses who were eventually run off the property by Oscar. Later we had a nice breakfast with Oscar's family and played with Santi's cousins, Horace and Olive at the Moreno pool.

Good morning horse.

Maya is very proud of her horse discovery.

More Morenos including Elena (Oscar's mom) and Happy (Oscar's sister).

After breakfast, Oscar's cousin Jenna came over with her daughter, Olive. They are almost the same age and had a great time playing together.

Swimming pals.

While Olive and Maya were playing by the pool, Kalea was getting some serious love from Horace and Santi.

Mexico: Beach Time

We were craving some time at a deserted beach, so we drove down to Las Palmas beach. Delightful.

Oh wait, it's Kalea.

Mexico: Maya and Momma Go Solo

Maya and Mommy decided that they could wait no longer to see Maya's newest cousin, Kalea. Daddy had to stay home because of work, so his ladies decided to make the trek alone. Maya is a very easy travel companion these days and we had a great time.

Santi joins in the fishing excitement.

Did I mention that pool fishing is clothing optional?

Happy cousins!
