Thanksgiving in Mexico

This year we were invited to have Thanksgiving in Mexico. Scott's sister and her husband co-own a beach-front house (2nd from left) about an hour and a half south of Rocky Point. It was so fun! I'd never been to the beach with my kids before and had just bought a new camera before the trip so there are a zillion pictures to choose from. It was so relaxing and private. There were usually no more than 3 other families on the beach at any given time (other than our extended family). We had 33 people in the house but it was plenty spacious.




Kaycie and Ty loved playing with their cousins and never wanted to go to bed at night. The water temp in the ocean was not too bad either. Kids were playing in it, adults were boogy-boarding and kayaking. We did lots of riding quads and rhinos down the beach. It was one of the best vacations ever, not to mention pretty cheap. Each family took turns in charge of a meal so that was nice also. On the way back to the states, we stopped in Rocky Point for lunch and to let the kids experience the marketplace. Unfortunately, someone decided to steal both coolers out of the back of our truck. Not surprised. Just surprised they didn't take the suitcases. Kaycie was mad that someone stole her last bag of fruit snacks. Luckily they only got dry foods and a bag of wet towels/bathing suits in those coolers. It was a memorable trip and we look forward to visiting more often!

Someone stole your coolers- that is just CRAZY! It sounds like you had a wonderful time- how relaxing! Ty and Kaycie look so cute on the quads (and so do their cousins Nolan and Colby)! What wonderful memories and how fun to do something a little different on Thanksgiving!
