Sadly today was our last day in Mexico.
But we made the most of it.
As usual we were right down to the beach and pools at day break!
Finally we loaded up and started our journey home.
We had to go back downtown though for Anden to spend his money
that he was clinging to all week wavering on what to buy.
Funny on how when it's MY money he spends it in a second
but his money he debates the purchase much longer!
Finally he found the souvenirs he wanted
and we made the trek back to the border.
Where we sat and waited and waited and waited and waited
FOREVER
to get back into the United States.
Holy crap didn't know to expect that!
But we did manage to spend the rest of our money to the locals
walking along our car selling everything from tamales to tortillas to their first born.
This was SUCH a fun family trip!!
We rarely take little trips that don't involve extended family.
So we cherish these times with just the 6 of us.
And the kids learned a bit of culture along the way.
I don't know how many times we were asked...
Why is it so dirty here?
How come there's so many stray dogs?
Why are the houses half broken?
How come they walk around barefoot?
Why are there abandoned buildings?
How come they have trash in their yards?
How come they have (insert any random object) in their yards?
Why are the roads just dirt?
Why does their soda tastes better?
Why does their food taste gross?
Why is there a horse inside that house? (no joke lol)
And that was just in the 10 minutes we drove around outside of our safe fancy resort!! lol
The kids wanted to ride the tube again.
But this time even Ryan and Laiklyn joined in.
They had a blast yet again!
The grins say it all!
Laiklyn bounced on over to me to tell me all about it! lol
More Mangoes on a stick!
We've decided everything tastes better on a stick! lol
(but I did have to look past the rusty old machete the local was using to slice that fancy mango!!)
Of course us gringos ordered ours plain.
We had been warned not to get the chili and lime juice and other hot stuff on it.
But not Ryan.
He went all out.
So gross! haha
