Mi Wuk!

So the next day after aaron's birthday we packed up, kicked Matt out of the house (he stayed the night... it was a sleep over! hahaha), woke Jame's butt up and hauled ourselves up to Senora to stay the rest of the weekend with Aaron's family in a cabin they had rented up there. We had a blast hanging at the beach and hanging with the family! There is not too much more to say about it, but that it was relaxing and nice to get away for even just a night- and to spend some time with the fam!

Five down...

Day Five was another nice day. We got a really late start and as a result had a really lazy morning. I flipped on the tube and watched "In Her Shoes" while Sara slept and took care of the baby and Aaron stared at me with puppy dog eyes "when are we going to go???"
Once Matt got home we took a drive with some friends of his that were in from England, and went up a back road made of gravel and up a mountain practically to try to get a "hidden" waterfall. Well we didn't make it up there until 2:00 and we were all famished so we parked ate, and gotten eaten alive by bugs, so we decided to forgo the hike up to the waterfall and drive back down to one of the trillion lakes around here. The guys had a great time in the water and throwing around the frisbee, while I read some more of The Shack and Sara and Mandy played with their little ones.
We ended the day with some gread Thai food and a bowl of ice cream. All in all a pretty lazy day, but none the less got some good pictures to share...

Day Four Already?

Today was a full day...
We started fairly early this AM...8:11 to be exact. Because we are so far north in the hemisphere the sun stays up late and comes up early, we are darking dark hours between 10 pm and 4 am, and I am not joking. I have woken up every morning so far at 4 to pull down the shade so we can get a couple extra hours of ZZZZZ's. We have been up and out till almost 10 because until about 9 it feels like it is 5 in the afternoon (no, not "nine in the afternoon, your eyes are the size of the moon")!
...Ok so back to what I was saying...the day started early. Aaron took a 2.5 mile run while I dove in to my latest read: The Shack (so far so good- Chapter 5). Around 10 Aaron and I borrowed Matt and Sara's Mountain bikes and headed out for a nice ride in the "country". It totally felt like we were in Europe, touring the countryside on our bikes!

We got home a little before noon, just in time to have a nice lunch with Matt (who had to work today) and then off to walk the Downtown area with Sara and the baby.












While we were on our nice little walk we saw our first and informedly "only" Canadian Mounty encounter....on the side of a van! I guess there is really no such thing as the ture Mounty anymore.

Next we took in a nice steak dinner...thank you matt, and then headed for the beach...at 7:30 pm! It is still warm until the sun goes down, so we had to make the most of our day!












The day ended with a bath for bella, and now we are all off to bed! See you tomorrow!
