VIVA LA SAN PANCHO, MEXICO!!!


From December 7th to 13th, our family took a vacation down to San Pancho, Mexico, a small town just north of Puerto Vallarta. Aunt Lisa actually works as the marketing director of the resort, so she was very proud to host us and show us around. Papa Ken and Nana Teresa also came, and they were so helpful with the babes while we were there. Chrissy and I also celebrated our 3 year anniversary as well. It was around 85 degrees every day, and very humid, and we all got eaten by mosquitos , but we all agreed that it was one of the best family vactions of all time. Horseback riding, surfing, snorkeling, shopping, and just lounging around for 5 days was incredible. We all saw a side of Mexico that we never knew existed. It's just so beautiful there, and the people were incredibly friendly. Maybe we'll make it an annual event. View from the top of the island where we went snorkeling
Ada and Ethan were pretty serious about blending in with the Mexican culture

In the town of San Pancho, there is a turtle rescue effort, and every night after sunset, over 100 baby turtles are released back into the ocean. Ethan was especially interested.

Ethan seems to get cuter by the day, and he makes this face of total surprise and amazement all the time now.
