punta mita, mexico! (part one of two)

we went on a fantastic trip to punta mita during the last week of june.  it was definitely hot and humid (a winning combo), but it was a great excuse to sit in the pool for hours or jump around in the warm waves.  with great company, our own pool, and a golf cart as transportation, all of us can't wait to return.  i even read two books...now that's a vacation!

waiting patiently for our 7am pick-up

strapped in and off to the airport

checking in our 2 bags
(pretty good for 7 days for a party of 5, right?!)

let's do this!

lyla did pretty well...even when i had to convince her
that it's not polite to kick the chair in front of her

can you tell they are great travel companions...
always next to each when waiting

still smiling on the way to our condo

we got in just in time to clean up and head to dinner

the nearby beach club had great pools, food and swings!

taking in the beauty of the waves and setting sun

jacks had to be forced to come eat dinner

he literally could have sat and watched the waves for hours

my wiggly sleeping buddies

someone needed a quick nap at breakfast!

loaded up for the 5 minute ride to the beach club

now our vacation can officially begin!

this kid was in heaven chasing waves all week

such a lovely view

we spent the afternoons hanging around the house
to avoid the excruciatingly hot sun

jacks painting an airplane

aunt liliana brought some amazing dress-up clothes
from argentina

when it cooled off a bit, we'd play some frisbee

and head out for a snack!

we had our own plunge pool which was perfect for pre-dinner swims

lyla loved the pool as much as jacks and liv 

our attempt at a family picture

the three cuties

jacks took off running every time a wave approached

the water was so warm and so peaceful to watch

the kids had many fun adventures,
including coconut hunting...

mani-pedi's with abuelo and abuela...

playing cards with marcela...

and checking emails with mom!

well rested and ready to swim

the pelle trio

here we come!!!!

doing laps in the sand

lots and lots of feet

here comes crazy!!

pure joy

liv and john braved the rocky bottom to find a sandbar

poor girl was tuckered out from the heat and activity

our lunch-time ritual...quesadillas!

we took a walk to explore another beach

my sweet boy

we headed to this little "island" but had to cross a "bridge" first
(thankfully, the tide was low)

the rocks were slippery but we made it safely

thanks to john's long arms, we managed a decent family selfie!

time to head back to the pool
