Oh, Mexico...

We look forward to our vacation to Mexico every year. We haven't had the opportunity to go in a while so we were especially excited this year. It was also Scout's first time at the beach! For this trip we bought our first tent and a cargo carrier for the roof of our van. The drive down went... well (it's not a family vacation until someone pukes, right?). As soon as we arrived, Rufus met a new friend, Audrey, and they were inseparable! Good thing we camped near them or I don't think we would've seen him the entire time. As usual, we were beach bums for the four days we were there. Rufus, Albert and friends went to an estuary where they caught a blue crab and a bunch of little pink crabs. We also had fun building a sand castle, which I didn't get a picture of fast enough! Scout did not like the texture of the sand. Needless to say she played on a towel while on the beach; but she did manage to eat her first handful of sand, YUCK! We also unexpectedly met up with our friends the Winter's while we were there! Good times! After we had all the mangos, potato tacos, and burritos we could eat it was time to go... but we know we have many more memories to make the next time.
