Meet SLAWCAB.   

(that's short for Sawyer and Law Cabin at Bear Lake)

I think we need a better name, but this will have to do for now.  We just purchased this slightly dated 1979 cabin up in Bear Lake.  We are headed up this weekend for our first SLAWCAB par-tay so I'll take more pictures.  We definitely want the "before" photos.... even though the "after"might take a few years :)   

a couple of firsts.....

First day of 8th Grade for my baby.

Medono Beach - Lover's Beach

 

I thought Cabo would be tropical... but it is VERY desert.

Once you get away from the beach - it is dry and ugly.

 

Locals are always trying to sell something.

"something you don't need, my friend"

Braden playing in the surf

 We took a water taxi over to Lover's Beach to snorkel and play

...and get sunburned of course.

 The water taxi had a glass bottom to see the fish

Shea wanted to try a coconut....

not exactly what she thought it would be :)

 FUN AT THE BEACH

Shopping and Burger King

 Shopping in Mexico is an experience....  Braden and Shea picked up negotiating pretty quickly and came away with more stuff and less money.  Mission accomplished.

 

 

 It is very hot and humid here.... Burger King milk shakes never tasted so good!

Resorts and Dolphins

The kids spent Monday morning at a resort pool while Robert and I listened to a timeshare presentation.  The bad part..... we had gotten sunscreen from a local store that ended up having ZERO protection for my poor babies skin. 

Kayla and Shea doing water aerobics...

 

 Tuesday Robert, Braden and Shea swam with the dolphins.  Crazy fun!  We didn't buy any pictures because it was $25 for one or $130 for all.   The memories will have to be enough.

Church, birds and beaches

We only got slightly lost on the way to church.... but it was worth it.  Everything was in Spanish, but the spirit was strong and I was so grateful to be there.

After church we went to an estuary.  Hot, muggy and beautiful.

After the actuary, we stopped by a beach to dip our toes in the water.
There was a pack of crazy Chihuahua's... making us miss the "dog that should not be named"
We were also the only gringos on this beach.
