Ahhhhhhhh..... and what a relaxing weekend it was, even if it was only for 2 days. My brother and his wife are awesome..thanks for inviting us up guys!
The weather was perfect, that kinda gloomy, not too hot, not too cold beautiful beach weather (not hot sunshiny beach weather, but romantic-ly gloomy beach weather). When we first arrived Jamil took us 4wheel driving along the beach. The last time Jamil did that we got bogged, and even though it was 3 years ago, Tatiana still remembered and was a tiny bit nervous. Jamil let her have a tiny go at "driving" in his lap, and after that she became far more comfortable with the idea. We stopped along the beach to get out and play in the sand and relax for quite some time before heading back home. Doesn't sound like much, but it was just the perfect day, and the kids had a ball! And it was good picture weather, so we made sure to grab a few family pics :)
Then on Sunday, Nic, the kids and I headed down to a park to let the kids play before checking out the local (and very small) markets and then heading down to the waters edge for some more playing in the sand. Natalia *loved* the sand and kept herself happily busy crawling around and occasionally trying to eat handfulls of sand, lol.
and this is me on the swing with Natalia...or part of me anyway ; )
Then aftrewards, Jamil took us all out on his new boat...which i cant believe i forgot to take a pic of, but it's pretty cool! He took us out to get his crab nets, and the kids got to help him. Kody didnt so muchlike going anywhere near the crabs...but entoni thought it was all pretty cool. We also found a starfish (and yes, we threw it back in). All the kids also got a turn in driving the boat, and on the way back , Jamil went 'really fast' to the kids sheer delight.
Oops....there goes tatiana off the side of the boat....
So all in all it was a very relaxing very fun weekend away.
Those pictures are beautiful, Zina! You are lucky to live in/near such a gorgeous place!
