Hangin' at the beach in November

On Monday, we didn't have school and Tami, Jenn's friend who is staying with us, didn't have to work, so we went to Manzanillo where there is a beautiful beach. The weather and water were perfectly warm and on the way there we saw an active volcano. It was amazing, Mexican scenery the entire way!

Here is Thomas getting his first run at the water. It was in a small cove surrounded by huge hotels and amazing homes. We got there about 1:30 and stayed for a few hours.

Kirtlyn could not have been more excited for the day! Even in the car she would tell us to look around for any sand outside, to see if we were getting any closer to the beach. I think they could have played all day if we would have let them.

Hyrum was, at first, afraid to touch the sand, but soon thereafter, he was completely fearless. Jenn had to hold on to him so as to not let him get carried away. He would wait for the big waves and jump right into them.

Here is Hyrum having the time of his life. I promise that is a smile.

He had to be at least belly deep in the ocean the entire time. He kept pulling Jenn into the water as far as they could go.

Here is a family picture: Little Thomas is always too busy to

look at the camera, but it is the best family picture we have so

far.

We rented an umbrella to keep all our stuff cool, but the kids didn't want to stay under it for very long. They found a couple sea shells and had a ton of fun.

Here are Tami and Joe, he's another American that is down just to learn Spanish. They both came with us. Afterward, we went to eat at a typical Mexican restaurant. We got home about 9:45 pm, and had a great day.
