Best Spring Break Ever!

We got back from our trip yesterday and let me tell you it was not fun driving home. Not that the drive was that bad...just the fact that it finalized the end to a fun vacation. Not only did we get to go to Mexico and have the hook-up of the century but we also got to play a little bit with my family in Mesa. Here are some of the highlights of our trip - I am sure this blog entry will be pretty much identical to Kendee's - but for the 5 people that I know that don't read my BFF Kendee's blog - here you go.

Highlights of the trip:

• We packed into the suburban with the Rowley's to drive from Mesa to Rocky Point. we had only gone a little way before Emery started throwing up. A road trip with kids just wouldn't be complete without that. Fortunately, after she had stunk up the car, 2 towels and 2 changes of clothes - she was done being sick for the rest of the trip.
• We stopped and ate yummy tacos and quesadillas right when we got into Mexico. I love Mexican food!
• We did a lot of lounging around on the beach and I loved it. Brian was super dad as he entertained Emery throwing shells into the water and anything else she wanted to do.
• Emery & her dad went on her first jet ski and quad ride. She kept begging for it over and over again she loved it so much.
• Bri & I went jet skiiing chasing after dolphins and found ourselves ride in the middle of them as they jumped up less than 10 feet from us. It was awesome but I was scared we were going to run over them
• Brian got to fly Papa Rowley's awesome plane as they flew to San Felipe to eat tacos. They also saw whales and dolphins as they flew just a 100 feet above them.
• The prego ladies also flew in the little airplane and Kendee was pilot for part of it. It was the greatest tour of Puerto Penasco I could ask for.
• We went swimming at the Mayan Palace and got hassled for it but it was worth it.
• We ate lots of yummy food at the Rowley's and went in town for some authentic Mexican grub. I declined the Mexican hot dog though.
  
• Emery watched Dora and was happy as can be. Big surprise there.

Here are some more pictures - I know I could do a slide show but I don't love to have to sit there and wait for all the pictures to go on the slide shows.

Eating our yummy tacos! You know it is the good stuff when it is the only trailer taco stand that is busy while 3 others within 10 feet have no customers.

The Rowley's beach house. It was so nice and so fun and equipped with all the great stuff that we would ever need, including Dish Network and DVR. We felt right at home.Emery was obsessed with the water, not the ocean. She kept cleaning off her hands and feet then going back into the sand.

I could lay out there like that all day!Emery enjoying some Mexican soda. She's taking after her father who totally fell off the wagon during our vacation. But that is what vacations are for, right?
Kendee and I getting ready for take-off!
Swimming at the Mayan Palace. Emery loved it except for the fact that the wind made it very cold.The 2 sexy pregnant ladies. I think that is an oxymoron but o-well. We had fun and more importantly Kendee who is 3 weeks from her due date didn't go into labor while we were in Mexico.
Emery wanted to play on this Kayak the entire time.

And it wouldn't be a beach vacation without a little kite flying.
Grandma Rowley even had a little egg hunt for the kiddos. These kids got spoiled rotten and it will take some time to get them off their vacation high. But they had so much fun and played really well together.

Thanks again to the Rowley's for having us! It was so much fun. I loved playing with Kendee and I think the boys enjoyed having each other to gang up on us. Brian definitely tried his hardest to make Steve look like the best husband ever. I don't think we could ever try to do Rocky Point again since we will never be able to top this trip...unless of course we get invited by the Rowley's again.
