Mexico!

My Mom and Dad recently bought a fun new place in Puerto Penasco, Mexico (Rocky Point). After a crazy winter we decided it would be good to go down for a bit for a nice break from everything. And so we did! We also got a fun opportunity to spend some time down there with my brother Adam and his wife Amber and their three kids.

We were a bit nervous taking Brynlee on her first airplane ride but she ended up doing awesome!

We first flew into Phoenix and then later that night drove down to Mexico after getting the Smith family from the airport. Once at the house we unloaded and went to sleep. I think the coolest thing about this house is the location. It is literally right on the beach (they are building a wall currently to keep the waves from getting to the home thats how close it is) so when you wake up this is your view:

During the day the tide goes out probably about 300 feet so what is left are these amazing tide pools filled with sea life. We found sand dollars, blue crabs, sponges, hermit crabs, and a star fish in these neat pools. And to add a bonus the water was SO warm. Basically this place is Heaven on Earth. 

Part way through our trip Brynlee woke up with TONS of spots covering her face and hands. 

Which of course was mildly upsetting but she didn't seem to even notice they were there! After we got home we found out they were flea bites (we had assumed it was something like that because of the location of the spots and Andrew had found a sand flea nearby) and they cleared up after a bit.. but still! crazy crazy. It was a bit uncomfortable at the airport though because I'm sure everyone around us thought she had measles. We even got stopped by the flight crew and questioned. But we made it home :)

Here are some more pictures from our trip:

All in all it was a great trip. It was so nice to be able to spend some time with my parents and with Adam and his family. But as always, it is nice to be home. I don't think I've ever seen Brynlee as happy as she was when we walked in the door ha!

poor diseased child hahah
