SAN QUINTIN BAY - BAJA MEXICO

PEDREGAL WITH THE BOYS

What I can say about this short trip was the boys were great but Nana and Safety Officer Dylan were not quite fast enough to keep Danger Boy Tucker out of trouble.  He was returned to the parents with a bump and scrape on the side of his head (jumping on the bed and falling off) and a little of the top of his finger pad missing.  That was a result of Safety Officer's Dylan's over-enthusiastic desire to do his job right - Danger Boy rolled down his window while we waited in the border line, and Dylan rolled it back up - with Tucker's finger in it.


Mommy says goodbye


It's four hours to Ensenada - the boys are angels.  Dylan did not put his baseball down the entire way.




We stop at our favorite lunch stop. 


We wait for lunch 


After lunch we go to the fish market


Lots to look at - we're there for awhile


Papa G gets us some fish for dinner


And the boys get some super hero capes.  Another two hours and we're home.



Papa G and Dylan arrive back from a kayak


Leticia the nanny plays hours of baseball with them.  I think Dylan is in love!


Papa G and the boys


Hose down time!

SAN ONOFRE - DADDY AND TUCKER SURF


Tuck's turn!  


He holds on - barely!



And they're off!


They brave the big waves too far out to take pics, and half an hour later, they're back, riding the last little ones in.










Tuck gets a turn on the board alone.




SAN ONOFRE - DADDY AND DYLAN SURF


Surf time!!



Somebody's EXCITED!!


And this is how it's done, folks!  I was mesmerized, thus all the photos...


Friend Yuri is in the background getting ready as well. The waves were not huge, but I was still impressed that they go all the way out where the surfer's line up.







Dylan grasps Trev's shoulders. He did fall off one time, but dad just grabbed the life vest straps and hauled him back up.  Dylan described the experience as "wet".  





And they're off!  I couldn't get any decent shots until they came back in.


Dylan can't wait to tell us about the waves.

SAN ONOFRE - CAMPING ON THE BEACH




Mommy and son.  


Such beauty.


Papa G and the boys.


Forget the store bought toys. Sticks and rocks kept him occupied all week.





Mom and Dad rest after some surfing.


Well, except for this store bought toy.  


Tucker's first marshmallow burnt and melted off the stick.  After holding his second one over the fire for about five seconds, he announced it was done and would not be convinced otherwise. He wasn't taking any chances the second time around.
