~Easter in Mexico 2009~

We had a BLAST in Mexico. We went down with 4 other couples and stayed at Playa Bonita in a 5th wheel. The beach was incredible, the shells were plentiful and when the tide went out you could see the most amazing things. We went 4 wheeling, played on the beach everyday,BBQ, shopped, ate the freshest mango's on a stick, played football,RELAXED and RELAXED. I have to say it was like having your own private beach..Everyday we set up the EZ up Tents and the kids played all day on the Beach.. The highlight for most is when myself, Carley and our friend Patti went on the Banana Boat in the ocean. All I did was pray that I did not fall in...We ventured into town a couple of times and the best way to describe it was very different in that country....The first night the wind was blowing so hard the 5th wheel shaked and the sand was blowing and even was pelting us...Overall, it was so fun, great times with friends, tasty margaritas, the kids had a blast and the sunsets were beautiful...We would definitely recommend! :)

Eric planned a FABULOUS 40th party for Karen. He did it all himself and we came over the day of and set up while the family was at Conner's baseball game. Karen was very surprised, and all her wonderful friends came. We probably had about 50+ people.... It was truly a great evening with lots of fun and laughter. Karen got enough wine to stock her wine cellar! Happy Birthday Karen we love you and admire how you have taken this new age with open arms...LOL :)
