huracan...

supposedly we were going to get hit bad by hurricane norbert...

but we were very blessed to not get anything but wind...

(you can see the crazy clouds and rain in the background)

anyhow, while we were waiting for the hurricane to come... we took the quads out and found some dunes to ride on...

funny thing is... this is where everyone goes...

and this is the sign where you enter...

on either side of the dunes there is a hotel... and guess what these hotels offer... horseback riding along the beach, quad rentals ect....

haha...

another funny thing... this is what happens when brent gets his quad stuck and we have nothing to do for a while...

brent didnt think this was the prettiest picture...

oh well....

spear fishing...

brent is training to be on the show survivor and wants to see how good he can get at spear fishing...

the show only lets you take one item from home... should it be his mask/snorkle or his spear... he could possibly make a spear from what he find in whatever remote location he will be... but a mask... not as likely...

crazy ink shooting octopus....

he is a pro...

trigger fish... o cochito... he wanted to eat this one... but someone let it get away...

its ok kevin... by the time you guys got back it probably wouldnt have been safe to eat anyway...

p.s.... nothing that he caught was killed... everything swam away... he did not kill any wildlife...

first time...

jones had never had a bath in the kitchen sink before... he loved it!!!

especially grandmas fun cookie cutters....

poor little guy... he is getting three teeth right now and hasnt been feeling well the last week... i am happy i cant remember getting my teeth...

it came...

last thursday... the 16th... the cruise ship finally came... it was so crazy! there were SO many people down town wanting to see it... and there were so many vendors selling everything... dancers and other entertainers in the main plaza... it was awesome!!!

happy monday...

guaymas...

last friday we went to downtown guaymas to check out a oaxacan fair (they had so many yummy smelling mole sauces and things to eat) and to see where the cruise ship will be coming.... guaymas is recieving its first cruise ship this coming thursday, the 16th of october... so exciting!!!! guaymas has been making a lot of improvments to the pier and port where the cruise ships will be coming...

in the background is the downtown guaymas church... that i have always loved... i love mexican architecture and their beautiful churches...

here is the brand new lighthouse....

it is crazy how green everything is right now... during the rainy season or monsoons it reminds me of hawaii...

we will be going back to the pier soon... there is now a restaurant called "the moulin rouge" that we want to try...

love thursday... i know... i know...

i dont know why... but i am so excited for halloween this year... i know that first, jones wont understand it at all... and second, that halloween here is nothing like in the states... but none-the-less i am excited... i think it is because the weather is finally changing and becoming cooler and the fact that whenever i think of halloween it brings such happy memories of nonchalance and childhood...

anyhow... the other day when i was about to walk out the door with jones... i noticed that his clothes were halloween colors... haha... so happy october and happy getting ready for halloween...

something fun to do...

i found this blog the other day called today is fun and am so excited to use it when jones is a little older...

it is all about fun things to do with children... there are so many ideas...
