This last month has been a bit of a whirlwind with family being in town and Jill and I going out of town. We had 3 visits from grandparents starting with Gma Martha for a few days, then Gma Suz and Gpa Jack for a week, and finishing with a few days from Gpa Jan. I'm really glad that our kids get visits from their grandparents, it always adds some excitement to the house.
Jill and I actually took a week and went out of town on a cruise with our good friends David and Katie. This is the first time we have been out of town without our kids since Abby was born. Our adventure was 7 days down in Mexico filled with relaxation, good food, and of course some adventures. I'm sure my parents found being at our home with the kids an adventure of their own, it's been a few years since they've had to deal with little ones (our kids were a quick and harsh reminder!).
It's tough because on a trip like this it was about kicking back and eating a lot. I gained 7 lbs and Jill... well, what she gained she quickly lost. We did get a lot of looks at dinner when we would have 10-12 entrees for the 4 of us. Oh well, it was fun...
We're thinking that after this trip, getting out of town once in awhile without kids is a good thing. The kids like it too because when grandparents are in town, they get pretty spoiled then "mean old" mom and dad come back and have to tell them no.

| Ah, the easy life... |

| Life's tough spending time on the beach, even if the water is a little chilly in some spots. |

| While we were in Mazatlan we rented this little "green bean" and drove around to some different sites. David was our fearless driver and was not afraid of doubling and tripling the speed limit. Fortunately when the cops finally pulled us over, David was able to sweet talk his way out of a ticket for a mere $5.00 US. We've decided anytime we go somewhere Spanish speaking we are taking David to get us out of trouble and to help get the good deals. |

| We had perfect weather the whole time we were down there. |
