Cabo San Jose, Mexico

Last night we got home from our trip to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. We had such a great time. I think this is by far our best trip we have taken since we have had kids. Our beach was nice and quiet so we had less worries trying to keep track of all our kids. Jumping over waves and running away from them proved to be Cooper's favorite activity. Scotti loved our pool. He could touch and he could stay warm, so he swam and swam until he really learned how to swim well unaided! He also loved building racetracks in the sand for his cars. Sammi mostly loved wearing her new swim suits and sunglasses, but her favorite thing on the beach was to organize the building of some sand project. Ev loved the waves, but would absolutely not go in the water without a grown up holding his hand. There was a hatch of sea turtles on our beach, and we got to watch the babies crawl out to the ocean and try to beat the surf into the ocean. We each got to hold a sea turtle and help them as we were guided by the guy from the Sea Turtle Development Center who was there to make sure the hatch got safely to the ocean. We had a great time, (but unfortunately, I didn't have my camera!) We also got to go whale watching and saw a lot of whales including two parents and their baby. They were right close to the boat, and all the kids were absolutely thrilled. We took a ride on a glass bottom boat and got to see all the fish under the ocean. The kids loved that--especially Ev. Grant and I snorkeled as well. There was so much wildlife. So much to do. So gorgeous. The weather was unbelievable. I'm so sure we'll go back. What a fun week.

By the way, I think we solved our sleeping problem that I blogged about a couple of weeks ago. Our kids were so worn out from all the fun stuff at the beach, that they went right to bed on our trip! I think I just need to wear them out more during the day!

Love to you all!
