Rocky Point, Freezing style

We went on our annual Puerto Penasco trip last week during the freezing storm that drove about 60% of the country crazy with the chills. And guess what? Mexico can get cold! Bet you didn't know that! Even though we couldn't swim in the water, we bundled up and played in the sand and dipped our feet in the water. Gabriel LOVES his cousins and they are so great with him. We played Who Stole the Cookies From the Cookie Jar, and the Animal Signs game every night, had morning devotionals, played games, played marbles, wrote in the family Mexico scrapbook and ate a lot of great food. My brother in law Daniel bought a smoker just for the occasion, so he could make smoked pulled pork sandwiches for his cooking day. 

*Lots of pictures here. Susan, these are for you! ;)*

New water shoes :)

Isn't this amazing looking?

Low tide

It was COLD. Not a soul out there.

"Hello lady... you come here often?"

The kids found a treasure map in a bottle on the beach!

Hyrum and Gabe are best friends. Gabe follows him everywhere.

The only picture of me on my camera from the whole trip.

Riley pulling out the treasure chest

This reminds me of Sean Connery in Indiana Jones

"Let my armiesh be the rocksh and the treesh and the birdsh in the shky."

Taking over for Riley
