The Beach - Part 2

A few more pics from our time at the beach with my mom and grandma... :)

Above, Mom & Aaron... I love this photo!

Either Mom or Grandma took this shot right after we'd all rolled out of bed...! We don't even look like we can form true smiles let alone think of giving one for the camera... :)

Which is, of course, why I am posting it... ;)

Four generations?!?

The grandmothers watching the "grandkids" perform in the sand... this is why all grandparents are rock stars in my book! Even if Candi and Diego would have scribbled something that looked like a half-masticated snake with warts [or something equally charming] they would have been delighted... :)

I like this photo... it looks so neat with Diego semi-disappearing in the background!

We went out to eat at a restaurant called "Jorge's" ["George's"] for some seafood! It was great and the kids enjoyed watching while all the workers got ready for a beach-side wedding that evening!

And... since the two quesadillas didn't seem to fill her up, Candi managed to assuage her hunger with the peanut butter-filled, yummy-in-my-tummy, pretzel-bites. :)

It was hard for everyone to keep their eyes open at night, but the kids watched Homeward Bound one night with Mom and Beauty and the Beast the other night. It's so amusing to me to see how into the films the kids can get [and a good check, too, to make sure the film is appropriate].

Case in point: Marcos started weeping... copiously, I might add... when the Beast died; then Candi started crying because Marcos was crying; then the other two boys kept looking at me and saying with slightly-panicked voices, "He doesn't really die, does he? Does he?"

:)

We got back from the beach on Sunday afternoon/evening and then Monday morning I took Mom and Grandma up to the airport in Tucson. We crossed the border early so I could take them to this little 50's cafe that I'd stumbled across earlier in the month... called The Twist & Shout!

We had enough time to go up to a look-out above Tucson, also... so a photo with Mom in the stone gazebo where I've now been with almost every single member of the family! :)

Thanks again, Mom & Grandma, for a lovely visit; the kids enjoyed it so much and I look forward to you coming down in the future! :)

Please pray for tomorrow night especially since we have the Thanksgiving dinner and the opportunity to converse and mingle with lots of different members of the community. Pray that we are able to shine Jesus' light into a dark world... a world that longs for that light even though it's first reaction might be to reject it and hide. Happy Thanksgiving!
