Spring Break in San Felipe

This year we spent spring break in Baja with the Morford family. Given recent warnings of violence in the border towns, many tourists chose to travel other places this year. This turned out to be our gain as the beaches were unusually quiet. I am happy to report we did not encounter any problems in Mexico and we had a safe journey. The one thing I enjoy most about family vacation time is watching my children experience new things. Jack and Macy are still talking about this recent adventure. We would go back in a heartbeat!

This is a picture of the solar house we rented outside of San Felipe. For some reason tires seem to be abundant on the beaches.

Flying kites in the "yard". I love the view of the Sea of Cortez.

Jack learned how to skim board. Although he did the get pretty good by the end of the week, I thought this picture of him wiping out was pretty funny.

Jack, Maddy Jo and Bob at the art table. No shell, rock, or bone would be safe from our paintbrushes.

Some of Bob's projects for the week

Everyday the kids would get up and go out with the tide and explored until the tide came back in.

AS FOR THE "ADULTS".....

We sat around and drank (just a little).....

Relaxed on the beach.....

Rode a primitive unicycle....

Built sand castles....

WE enjoyed playing with fire. Here Greg shows us his moves with a flaming ball on a rope

We played Myth Busters. Can you hit a flaming golf ball into the ocean? We were never successful... despite MANY attempts

Then we got artsy fartsy with the glow stick and light-up Frisbee.

One night we had a birthday dinner for Greg. Some friends came over from their camp.

What a treasure at the end of this rainbow.

Shelley, Maddy Jo, and Greg
