Mexico 2008

Here's a photo of the resort we stayed at...it's the Mayan Palace in Neuvo Vallarta..this view is from the pool looking up at the hotel. We had clear skies everyday all day long. They had put up metal art nativity sets in several locations...I was impressed that it wasn't all Santa Claus and snowmen (artificial of course). Abe amongst some bougainvilleas...we saw white ones, yellow ones, pink ones, fushia ones, red ones, orange ones, blue ones, purple ones...isn't he cute?

Christmas 2008

Wow!!! We've been busy and not...here's some pics of our time away. We left December 12 and drove to Minneapolis, stayed the night and then flew out early Saturday morning, arriving at noon in Peurto Vallarta. We stayed there till Christmas Eve, leaving at noon and flying into Minneapolis by 4 p.m. We drove till Fargo and stayed the night, driving home the rest of the way on Christmas day. The whole family was with us in Mexico , and we had a great time. Here you can see some of the kids playing in the ocean...we really enjoyed the body surfing, and for our son-in-law, it was a first time. The waves were best in the afternoon, and we all got our fill of sea salt...blegh!!!

Hoar Frost painting by God

Can you see all the brush strokes? It looks like feathers...we see this almost every morning, after a colder night, on the window of our patio door. I think it's beautiful!
