Cabo, Cabo, Cabo!

We are back from our trip from cabo, and it’s very bitter sweet to be back home. We have had a lot of fun, but are glad to be back where it is no longer hot and humid. I’ll try and keep this to as little words, and more pictures, as there are many pictures from our trip.

We officially left the States Friday morning, and got to Cabo late afternoon. JD was for the most part pretty good on the plane ride over. The hotel we stayed at was awesome, as we all got rooms to ourselves.  Saturday evening we adjusted to Cabo and went out for dinner. Sunday was relaxation day, which involved a day at the pool, and happy hour at the pool bar. The (non-alcoholic) pina coladas were lovely! This was also the first time JD went swimming, and he loved it. I’m glad he did, otherwise it would not have been as fun if he hadn’t.

 Cute little pruney feet.

Monday was a big day, and was quite the adventure. We headed out to a nearby beach, as the beach behind our hotel is not exactly ideal for, well, anybody, mainly little kids. We took a glass bottom boat to “Lover’s beach” and saw tons of fishies and some sea lions. We did a little sight seeing around the beach before we took the big leap out of the boat onto the beach. You see, there is no port/dock at this beach for boats to drop people off. Instead, you have to get off the boat into the water, along the waves, to get onto the beach. It was crazy getting off with little kids, however, there were people who helped get them off first. Getting back on the boat was an even bigger adventure.

The beach was amazing though. Justin, Jeff, and Kelly went snorkeling while the rest of us stayed on the beach. This was also another first for JD, and he was a very happy baby, until he got tired.

Tuesday and Thursday were relaxation days, where we enjoyed the day by the pool, and taking naps. Wednesday and Friday we took the bus (or cab if it was a good deal), to beaches. Friday was the high light of the trip for me. We took wave runners out onto the ocean, and it being my first time, I loved it. Every once in a while, I was afraid for my life, since Justin loves speed and going over waves. I grabbed on to him like my life depended on it. During our time out there, we came across what appeared to be a rock, but when we looked closer we realized it was actually a turtle!

Saturday was the sad, sad day where we had to return home. As I reflect upon our trip, it makes me more sad to be back home. It was a fun vacation! Enjoy the pictures!

     

                  

                  

                 

Moving & Family Visits

We have been preoccupied for the last 3 weeks with moving and having family come up to visit us. Moving was the worst, as we have come realize how much crap we actually have. However, we couldn't have moved at a more perfect time than when our family came to visit.

First, Grammy (Kelly) came to visit, and she stayed for 2 weeks. She was so helpful with moving!! While we were in our last 2 weeks of school, she filled her car up with our junk and moved it over to our new apartment everyday! On top of that she helped clean the old apartment, and babysat JD. On her last couple days of visiting, Gramps (Gerry) came up to visit as well, and they helped us get almost everything over. We needed their push to get motivated, otherwise, I have no idea how we'd get it all done.

Last week, my sister Connie came to visit! She and JD got a long pretty well, only when Justin and I were there with her. When we weren't there, JD screamed and cried almost the entire time. We still had to finish moving and cleaning the apartment while she was here, and that is why she was left alone with JD. While here, we went to a zoo down in Idaho Falls. It was small, but it was fun to get out of the house. We tried to convince her that night to try a snow cone up here (since I think they're delish, while Justin thinks they're good, but not as good as I say they are). It wasn't until Monday, when my dad came up to visit for the last couple of days, that he got her to try it. I think she liked it.... but who knows. She's not very vocal about how she feels. :) My mom wasn't able to make it up, unfortunately, but my parents plan to visit again in 2 months.

The only thing I regret about having family over these last few weeks was that we were moving, and finishing school. We had other priorities to attend to, while I would've rather had more time to visit with them. However, Justin and I both know that our families were only here to visit JD. :) So maybe I don't feel so bad. :P Thanks again for all your guys' help and for visiting us!!! :) We miss you already!

Here's some pictures from our zoo trip, and a trip to the Idaho Falls.

I wish we had taken pictures with Kelly and Gerry, but we have CABO to look forward to and to take as many pictures as we'd like! :)
