Our Last Hurrah!

Well, the Friday before Emme started school, we decided to do one last hurrah before school started for her.  We decided to go back to Playa Herradura which is only about 1 1/2-2 hours away from us.  It is a cheap one day trip.  We only pay for gas, tolls and food!  A pretty good deal.  The beach is ok, not too rough for the kids and it is nice to get away!

Here are some pictures from our day!

Emme and Leyton playing in the sand

This is the lizard that came and stole the leftover hotdog on Leyton's plate.  Best part? It had ketchup on it and the lizard looked like it had red lipstick on!

Checking out the rocks and all the shrimp, fish and snails that live in the little pools

Running down the beach

Dirty kids--if anyone knows Leyton, this is a BIG DEAL for him!

This was the family that helped Emme catch her own starfish

All of the live starfish and sand dollars we caught (and let go later)

Running from the waves....never gets old!

The sand dollar I caught

This was the prettiest sand dollar--in Spanish they are called 'galletas' which means cookie/cracker

The red macaws in the tree--there are 4 of them

Bruce and I waiting on the sunset

So peaceful

Playa Herradura--one time I am going to walk to those islands

Me! holding the sun

The sunset with color swapping

It was a great time before Emme had to go to school and we got into the rhythm of teams for 2014.  We were able to watch the sunset, see different animals and get to explore the beach and play as a family.

We are truly blessed!

In HIM,
