Abuelos Rink Visit -- Part 2 (The Beach!)

Finally... the second part!!!  

(I figured I better get this blogged before Grandpa & Grandpa Rink come down again in a couple weeks!)

For the second half of their visit, our family headed to San Carlos, MX, for spring break.  Fortunately, we were able to convince "Tio Seth" (Uncle Seth) to come along as well!  With a one-month old baby, he was greatly appreciated for entertaining the other kids along with Grandpa, Grandma and my husband!

So here are our pics with captions!

Candi, ready for the water!  But alas... it was a little too cold!

Aron & Marcos hanging out in the sand after a morning walk along the beach.

Candi and Grandma Jeanne!  Candi was quite the water-puppy as long as Grandma or Grandpa would help her out!

Our first family photo with baby Ithan!

A panoramic view off the porch of the condo we were able to rent!

 Seth & Diego; unfortunately, Diego was a little sick the whole time we were there with a fever and slight cold.  He still hung out by the pool, but mainly on the deck chairs!

 Our very own tribal chief, Marcos!

 Grandpa Jim and little Ithan Santiago!

 Does this look like vacation mode or what?!?

Like I said... Seth was a fabulous addition!!!  :)

The kids certainly enjoyed wearing out their dad and their "uncle!"

 On the last day we went to a Dolphinarium (I'm not convinced this is a real word in English) where, unfortunately, we didn't actually see in dolphins perform!  It was mid-week, so we just caught a seal show... which the kids still enjoyed!

 Aron, Marcos and Diego with front-row seats!

 Panoramic view of the delfinario... it's a really neat place!

 The grands and all the grandchildren!

 Outside the delfinario there was this blow-up jumpy thing -- which the kids also loved!!!  :)

Our precious kids... thank you, Lord!

(Can you tell that Diego is a little bit sick?!?)

 It's incredible to me that Ithan once looked like this and was this small... if I ever get the photos updated on this blog, the timeline is NOT going to match!

 Group photo at the side of the pool!

AND... wiped out on the return journey home!  Too tired to even finish her lunch!!!

Thanks for your continuing prayers, even when I haven't posted!  As far as the adoption goes, we are still waiting on some papers to be finalized for taking away of rights, but... praise the Lord!  There have been some advances!  :)  We are thankful for God's continued guidance and just pray that we can have the patience to wait on His timing for it all to come about... thanks for taking the journey with us!

Much love from down South!!!
