Ava & Mila

Hello. I’m Ava and this is my first trip to San Felipe.

Here is my first step on Mexican soil. And that’s Briar. He made the drive down with us and Nicole. We are both lucky enough to have Nicole as our godmother.

As soon as we got unpacked, we hit the beach. The sand bothered me at first but I somehow forgot all about it when I saw these cool buckets and shovels.

Here I am in the Sea of Cortez. The water was sorta warm but I still preferred having my feet on dry land.

Briar was so fun to hang out with in Mexico. He stacked blocks so I could knock them down.

I shared all my toys with him.

I even shared my favorite toy, my Dada. I screamed Dada a lot during this trip and my Mama corrected me when I used it at the wrong times. By the end of the trip, Briar started correcting me too. Silly Briar. Dada!!

When the sun went down, we did a lot of jumping on bed… just like in the 5 Silly Monkeys book that we love to read together.

In the mornings, I woke up really really early. Who sleeps in during vacation? Not me! So every morning, Mama and I would watch the sunrise together while everyone else was snoozing. She tried to teach me a few Spanish words but I said no habla espanol.

I might of not learned any Spanish, but Briar sure learned his first Croatian word. He told me to nani all the time and I did. He thought I was very silly but his Transformers blanket was too soft to resist.

On the second day of our vacation, Briar’s brother, Eli, showed up with his mommy, grandpa and uncle. Here we are playing in the beach tent.

Right after breakfast, we walked on the sand islands that magically appeared every morning at low tide.

I had fun watching them dig sand.

Not sure why they enjoy having sand all over their hands. I’m still trying to get used sand between my toes. Aye caramba.

We did venture into town for some fish tacos and cold beers. Well not me, I had cheerios and room temperature water. Close enough, right?

Here I am jumping some more with Briar.

And then all of the sudden, he busted the robot. How cool is that?!

So to one up him, I danced in circles later that evening at someone’s birthday party. Boy, did I tear it up.

I thought I was the new dance champion until Eli started dancing with glow sticks. Boy is he gooood.

There were a lot of dogs at the camp but my favorite was Osa. She was very protective of all the kids. One morning while watching the sunrise with Osa, a couple dogs ran into our gated camp and she barked so loud at them. Once the dogs walked away from us, she stood in the middle of my Mama’s legs and waited for the other dogs to disappear. What a good doggy.

Thanks Osa.

That was very nice of you.

Here I am during my first Easter egg hunt. I found a blue egg but Eli put it in his basket. That’s ok. I prefer my eggs scrambled.

Here we are hanging out at beach. Dada and Briar went on the paddle board together while Eli splashed a lot in the water. And me? I got black arms. Who knew what I would tan so quickly with SPF 30?

I was so glad to have friends to play with will in San Felipe…

…even though these boys like to play little rough.

I was scared at first…

… but sure liked it when Briar told me nani nani.

Thanks for playing with me.

And thanks to the Delgados. We had a blast…

…and here is the video to prove it.
