Our Mexico Weekend


One day at the beach, Caleb was determined to write the entire alphabet, upper and lower case, in the sand. We started it several times and then would come to a place in the sand where there was a rock or a hole, so he'd start over. He kept busy at it for a long time. I think we made it to Mm.



On Saturday, we had the whole day to just ENJOY! We played on the beach, tried digging for clams, with no success, those buggers are elusive! We collected all kinds of beautiful shells and played in the pools and hot tubs. The older kids and adults, had a long game of beach football. Their muscles were sore the next couple of days, but it was WORTH IT!










On Sunday we attended Sacarament Meeting in the 1st Puerto Penasco branch. It was all in Spanish, but Mike & I thought we could understand about 40% of what was said. The missionaries serving there were the speakers that day. Liesel went to Primary just for a few minutes and because she was a visitor they sang the 'Welcome Song' to her.
"Hola! (Hola!) Hola! (Hola!)..." It was fun to see the Primary children fidgeting and busy, just like in our Primary.

Sunday afternoon we went with the Finlayson's on a Sunday drive out to the beach houses that they had stayed in last year. The Nyman family were staying out there this year.The beach out by the beach houses was amazing! This is where we found whole sand dollars, big & small, sea cucumbers and some other fun shells. We just walked along the beach for what seemed like forever, soaking it all in! Tomorrow morning we begin work on the houses; the real reason we are here, although it sure has been nice these past few days!




This fish needs some serious dental work! This was the treasure? that Jesse found!Nathan & Caleb show off the squishy, slimy sea cucumbers they found! Tomorrow...Day#1 of construction.
