A Little Bit of Cowboy

We got back from Cabo just in time to catch the Fourth of July rodeo in Bandera.  While we were gone, Papa and Baba had bought the boys some cowboy hats and lassos.  They loved that and Nicholas was thrilled to lasso his cousin, Eli.  We missed the fireworks but God put on his own fireworks with an awesome lightening show later that evening.  One thing we miss about living in CA is the thunder and lightning storms that happen in the Midwest.  What power in the sky.

   

Papa took the boys swimming everyday and on some cool outdoor adventures. 

I guess Mike and I need to get some cowboy hats as well, GG looks pretty good in hers : )

Beautiful Cabo San Lucas

Mike and I finally got away for a “just us” vacation, thanks to Papa and Baba.  Cabo is beautiful and we did absolutely nothing but relax all week long.  No scheduled activities for us, we just wanted to be on our own schedule.  We ate when we wanted, played tennis every day, took our swims in the great wide open ocean, and got in some great naps and movies.  We did take a boat ride over to Lover’s Beach and to see the famous arch (El Arco).  We didn’t get a picture of it since we didn’t take the camera on the boat.  Off of Lover’s Beach we swam with the fishes and admired the beauty of the place. The last pic is a bus Mike liked because on the back it said “Jesus Cristo es mi Salvador” y mas.  We loved going into town and picking up a few souvenirs and gifts as well as practicing our Spanish.  It was a wonderful trip and we can’t wait to go back again one day…with the boys of course : )

    

Great Visit

We were thrilled when we got a phone call from Denise, a friend of Mike’s from Duke, saying she was in town with her fiance.  She and Ya came over one afternoon and it was nice catching up on old times and new stories.  They were so sweet and brought the boys some nice Legos to build.  We are excited to go to their wedding this summer in Hawaii.
