I can't believe how much time has passed since my last blog post. Gosh, I'm sorry. I have so much to blog and so little time. But I'm honestly going to make it a priority since I appreciate you taking the time to come by and see my little space in this vast cyber world.
As you may remember, my family and I went on vacation to Mexico in March and we are all missing it already. The kids had a blast, we relaxed and everyone ate far too many chips & guacamole. Anyway, the things we saw and the experiences we had were ones I hope my kids never forget. My parents were there (we all go together every other year) and I'm so glad my children were able to experience this vacation with their grandparents too. I tried to photograph what I could without looking like a tourist with a big black box attached to my neck. These are some of the moments I was able to capture.
{Above} Native to Mexico this nice man kindly allowed me to photograph him. His look of worry and heartache haunts me.
{Above} Brielle, in her new handmade Mexican Dress that Grandpa bought for her.
{Below} Taking a break from exploring the markets.
{Above} A bridge colorfully painted by children who live in this small town. I loved the unique artwork each child dedicated to their space.
{Below} Tyler's hard work in bartering. He was so proud of his thoughtful spending. We were too.
{Below} Cobblestone Streets...I fell in love.
{Below} Funky archway.
{Below} A beautiful old church we visited. I loved the blue glass windows in this church.
{Below} A food truck drove passed us on this narrow alleyway. I couldn't resist photographing all the vibrant colors. Made me hungry too. :)
{Above} We ate lunch and had drinks at peaceful restaurant on the beach. Yummers.
{Below} And we played. Tyler bought this slingshot for his daddy with some of his left over money. Now they both have slingshots. Boys. :)
{Above} Tyler, quietly waiting for our food to come.
{Below} More refreshments.
{Below} No this is not beer. It's pineapple juice and Brielle drank every last drop - I think she liked it.
{Above} This man stopped at our table while we were eating lunch hoping to entertain the kids. He terrified them with his talking doll so we kindly tipped him so he could move on.
{Below} The peaceful quiet streets in Bucerius.
{Below} Gorgeous chandelier at our resort. I would love to have a miniature one in my house.
{Below} The maids would leave a different 'towel animal' on the kids beds each day. This was one of their favorites.
Swimming - both kids are fish! :) And we convinced Brielle to come out for a quick nourishment break here (rare, she won't leave the pool for anything). :) Tyler got brave with the waves. He wants to boogie board next time :)
