The Nielsons: MEXICO!

MEXICO!

We spent a week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with our good friends, the Olsens. Darci and I were roommates for a year or two-- back in our "wild and crazy" single days. We decided that our phone calls and emails just weren't cutting it anymore! We needed to get together, especially somewhere warm! We managed to make this trip happen, even with two babies (huge amount of credit to our husbands). We had a wonderful time...I'm already missing that perfect weather combined with the sound of the ocean (ahhh, long sigh).

The entire gang: Joey, Randli, Darci, me, Bryan and Luke

Luke experiencing the ocean and beach for the first time. He wasn't too sure what to make of all of it.

Unsure of the water and sand, Bryan made sure that Luke still had a good experience. Luke definitely enjoyed playing with his dad on the beach.

The "grown-ups" managed to squeeze in some boogie boarding. Joey was feeling a little under the weather this day, so Bryan became buddies with another friendly guy (flashback to our honeymoon when Bryan boogie boarded with another older fellow as well). I love that Bryan is outgoing and friendly with practically anyone.

Luke liked for ALL of the beach goers to know when he arrived on the beach. We thought that not everyone might enjoy this cheerful greeting. Bryan hauled several chairs for quite the distance to help us (and others) enjoy their time on the beach.

Miss Randli is such a cute, calm baby! She would often cash out in the stroller to the sound of the waves.

Mister Luke is such a handsome (we might be prejudice), active baby! He loved playing in his tent and rolling out of it into the sand. :)

Loving the warm weather and ocean.

Randli and Luke were side by side for the entire trip...

We learned that there is vacationing and then vacationing with a baby. Two very different things. Luke did surprise us and slept very well (for the most part) making it feel even more like a true vacation for everyone.
