Fun in the sun in Mexico!!

Labor day weekend we spent in Rosarito, Mexico. Which is about 30 minutes south of San Diego. It's so beautiful there, we love it. My sister Jaime, & Tyson have a beach condo there, so my side of the family to a fun trip together from Friday to Wednesday. It was perfect weather, and company. Jenna and Devon could not come though. We missed them a ton and hope they can come next time. Everyone else was there.

Highlights:

Boogie boarding a ton!! With my mom, sisters, & sister in-laws, even better!!
Mexican Food
Being around my family
Playing games and watching movies
getting a little sun on my face
Bonfire & Fireside with family on Sunday on the beach, smores afterward.
Taking family pictures and pics of Casen on the beach.

Not so fun:

Darin running a fever the second night. He had a sore throat the whole time too.
Eating too many tortillas
Casen coughing, and having a waterfall of snot coming out of his nose 24/7.

Here is an overload of pics. Enjoy!! They are all out of order, oh well.

I tried to get him to smile with me, and I took the camera case away from him
and this is what happened.... He looks so sad, but yet so funny!!



Fresh salsa made at your table.
This is Casen's "set up" which didn't last long.
He would not sit there and play, nor would he sleep.




Bonfire. Some of us were sharing our testimonies, and this guy came out of nowhere and asked what was going on and wanted to sit with us and listen. He saw the fire and all of us around the fire from one of the towers of condos and came all the way down to join us. I think it was great missionary opportunity. Hopefully he got something out of it.

View from our bedroom we stayed in.

This is how we set up everyday on the beach. Except Sunday of course.

Nieces as mermaids.

Sweet Casen


Cute mom & dad.


Whole family, minus Devin, Jenna & baby bump.

Cute parents again.


All the grand kids

How fun-I love the beach! I love that picture of you Darin and Casen near the end of the post. yes, Chris had a pretty good beard going for a while. Unfortunately it turned into just a moustache for a couple days before he shaved that off too. Funny thing was, he seriously thought he looked good. haha

YOu are lucky that you lived too far away or else your house was getting TPeed!! If you leave the party early then their has got to be some kind of consequence!
