Vacation Photos--Part 2

The Blog site wouldn't let me upload more than five photos at a time. So these are the next four. Read the previous post for the story on them.

Warning--Vacation Photos Ahead!!

Don't say you weren't warned. Sarah and I took a three day cruise to Ensenada, Mexico last weekend. We had a wonderful time together. We've posted several picture here. The only picture we really got of us together was during the lifeboat drill. Our hands are covering the reflective tape so you can see us.

One thing we learned about cruises is don't sign up for tours and pay for them while on board. We weren't going to doing much but walk around because of the prices quoted on board. Then when we got into town we found the exact same tours for half price. We opted for the tour that also took us horseback riding on the beach. It was lots of fun although Sarah couldn't get along with her horse. Or maybe it's better said her horse couldn't get along with her, or my horse, or anyone else's horse. We had a fun ride by the beach and saw some beautiful homes there. You can buy a home on the beach for $89,000. We might have to change our retirement plans.

At La Bufadora we saw a blow hole. There was an Aztec dancer there entertaining the crowd. We then spent the rest of the day in Sarah's favorite sport- - -shopping. I even got into the action which is unusual for me.

When we returned to the ship the porter had decorated our room with a towel he folded to look like a monkey. On another day we got a pelican. He was sure talented.

We didn't go in for much of the activity on Board (drinking, gambling, pool parties, etc.). We mostly kept to ourselves. We did manage to get on a shuffleboard court the last day of the cruise. The food was great and we met a couple of nice people.

So there you have it. We plan on doing this again sometime.

Visits from Our Grandchildren

We had a visit this past weekend from several of our grandchildren. Both Dianna and Sally came for a couple of days. As you can see in the photos Ron got a moment with Claire and Ryan while Sarah took a cookie break with Parker, Logan and Kevin. Ron also took the boys for a 4 wheeler ride.

Fun In Sparks, NV

Sarah and I went to Sparks, Nevada over the weekend to welcome home our grandson, Johnny, from his mission in Guatemala. While we were there they decided to celebrate Jordan's birthday a couple of days early. We had a great time but we are worn out. We don't plan on much travel for the next few months after all we've done lately.

Elder Billie's Return

Our oldest grandson, Johnny, got home from his mission yesterday. Holly emailed me this picture. We're headed out to Reno this weekend to see him.

Parker and Ryan

Sarah took a neat photo of Parker and Ryan playing a video game while she was down there a while back. It's so cute it needed posting.

Ruth's Kids

I've been after Ruth for several months to update some of her pics of her kids. Those included here show Joseph as Harry Potter, James as Spiderman, Ethan as Obi Wan Kenobi, and Maddison as Minnie Mouse for Halloween. I took while we were out there in late October.
