ola

A quick ola that is. The days are heaven but the nights hell - hence the reason for a very quick post - I have to get to bed. The kids and I have not been sleeping well. All three of us in one room, squeaky doors, dogs barking, Grandpa using the coffee grinder and roosters crowing makes for many sleepless hours thus far. Oh Mexico.

So the update: The kids did very well on the flight to Mexico even with a four hour departure delay due to frozen toilets. It was a very long day. We have been exploring El Nogolito, the mountain village where we're staying as well as the pool and the grounds of the house. The kids are having a blast although I have to admit that Elliott does cry a lot. Kate is in love with her cousin and wants to know where he is all the time. Tomorrow morning we're heading to the beach for the first time. It's hot so it's got to be a morning visit before the heat of the day. We are drinking tequila, eating guacamole, chasing chickens and taking public transportation. In other words, we're just keepin' it real.

Here's just a couple pics (it's taking a long time to upload) and lots of love from me and the sun bums. Special kisses to you Papa.

 Elliott and one of the many chickens that jump through the gates to our yard daily.

 Me and the sun bums - literally. Kids seem to gravitate to their natural, naked selves in the sun.

Kate waiting for Aidan to join her for another jump in the pool.

Adios amigos!
