Our Trip to Mazatlan Christmas 2007

We had so much fun as a family. We drove down taking 2 1/2 days to get there. We left Friday morning and saw the ocean on Sunday afternoon and stayed 10 days. After playing a see what we could for the time we were there we left and drove back home in two days. We were gone for a total of 15 days and it was one of the best two weeks we have ever had. Watching the children play in the water and making sand castles in the sand was wonderful. We took the children to different villages so they could see how those children lived and also what the children there went without. They realized that they were very blessed. I feel that each of them brought something back with them that helps them to remember how much they really do have here in America. We went to a meat market to see how that was done, boy did it STINK!!! We had so much fun camping there on the beach and making our food over a grill. Having no TV, cell phones, or even Internet for a week and a half was NICE! Sitting back and realizing how blessed and grateful for what we all have been blessed with. The sunset were are favorite part of the day. Watching the sun hit the water and then disappear was AWESOME. Heavenly Father has given us a beautiful world to live in and all we need to do is open our eyes and look.
