Mexico Part 3

I wish I would have taken a picture of us at the church in Mexico.  It was a neat experience for sure.  The chapel was completely FULL.......... they had to keep sitting up more and more chairs!  There were so many American families there.  It was a testimony building experience for me to see so many families that were in Mexico for the Memorial Day holiday and would take the time to go to church!  Even though we couldn't understand what they were saying (Justin understood most of it but not the kids and I), you could still feel the spirit.  The songs especially brought the spirit and it was neat to recognize the songs even though they were being sung in Spanish.


So here are the boys church shirts and ties........not often do we find these in the toy hauler!
So glad we attended church in Mexico!




Ella just wanted to get down and get the sand all the time!  When I would put her feet down to touch it she would just kick and kick.  She wasn't sure what to make of the sand!



These are Tressie's toes.  She got a pedicure on the beach.  The added details on her toes were free..........yep that would be SAND stuck to the nail polish!  Hahaha..... We just died laughing about her toes!



We all enjoyed going to the "dirt mall"
Justin, Ella, Grant, Hunter and Colter Mack



There was lots of fun things to look at.....
Sweet hat Hunter.... but no I am not buying it for you!


Ella thought the dirt mall was fun but hot!  It wasn't as fun as the Chandler Mall that's for sure!
So many people in their little shops commented on Ella.
Most said how beautiful she was and of course how fat she is!
"Gordo" was the word we heard a lot!



See told ya they had tons of fun stuff to look at....a dinosaur made out of sea shells!



Hunter picked out some neat leather flip flops and a souvenir and he also got this hat!  I think he looks cool in his Mexico hat...... it will make a wonderful fishing hat!



I admire this man, Marteen, a great deal and I don't know much about him!  What I do know about him is that he spends his days selling Popsicles and collecting cans, up and down the beach in Rocky Pointe.  I also know that his feet are turned backwards.  It literally looks like his feet are facing the opposite direction of his body.  Look closely at this picture and you can see his feets deformity.  What I admire is that he still gets out and works to provide for his family regardless of his handicap.  He's not begging on the corner like a lot of people do in Mexico (and heck in the US too).  He is out working!
I was amazed!  We could learn a lot from Marteen!



Logan enjoying the ocean waves!



Logan and Colter
Our kids sure enjoyed playing the Justin and Heather Mack's kids!



The is Callie Rogers, also know as Grant's babysitter on our Mexico trip!  He LOVES her!  She was such a sweetheart to watch after him!  She treated him so good and will make a great babysitter when she gets older!  I did pay her a little because she really did help me with Grant!



Had fun hanging out with Tressie!



My sweet Ella loved watching the waves crash down!


I LOVE this little girl!  She makes me a very happy mommy!!



Hunter with Chicken Bone
Hunter loved this little girl!  He was so nice and played with her, helped her and was like a nice big brother to her on the trip!




Chicken Bone is really a ham......... her nickname should be Ham cause she can really ham it up!



Kiersten had a great time with Maranda



I love pictures of my boys playing on the beach with their trucks!  I'm so glad I now have one of Mr. Grant!



Doesn't Hunter look like one of those Asian fisherman with his hat on out in the water?
He found a large octopus but it was already dead when he found it!



Hunter is always catching some type of animal!



The kids all liked viewing the octopus up close.



Me, Ella, Shaylyn's baby boy and Heather Mack



Awww his giving Ella a kiss!
We called these two boyfriend and girlfriend because he is only 2 months older and he is cubby just like her!



Ella did like the water on her feet and legs.
She sure has a good looking daddy!!!

We had so much fun on this trip and made so many new friends!
Thanks to everyone for being so kind to our family and kids!  It's like we've been a part of their Mexico traveling group for forever........ we fit right in!  
It was great!
