Ensenada, Mexico

Ricky and I went to Disneyland last year with Justin and Laurie and had an absolute blast. So when they talked about going somewhere this year I automatically said yes. We ended up picking a cruise to Mexico and again we had a fabulous trip. We shopped, ate, layed out, ate, played games, ate, went to shows, ate, and got to see some pretty amazing karaoke singers, and then ate some more. We probably gained ten pounds while we were there but how can you resist the buffets?

This is us getting ready to leave. Can you tell how excited we are.

Out on one of the many decks they had. It seemed the longer we were there the more secret places we found. We stumbled upon many good places to lay out.

The grand stair case. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Laurie and I in Ensenada. They have hats of every kind and we tried almost all of them on.

Love the pink!

On almost every corner someone was selling little kid masks with capes attached. We tried to put batman and superman on in one store but the owner yelled at us and told us they were for children and to put them down so we went to another shop and found these beauties.

Down main street.

In Ensenada

My favorite was coming back to the room every night to see what animal was left on our bed. I forgot to take a picture of the seal we had but I got the others.

The last night we came back and found this seductive bunny laying on our pillow.

This is us on the plane home.

Ricky and I had such a good time. Although it was tough to leave we are getting some plans together for a future trip with the Vincents. Can't wait!

Horseback riding

Ricky's stepbrother came to visit from California in July. We went horseback riding at Sundance with the family. I have been horseback riding several times but never in the mountains. It is a completely different experience from trails. It was a nice escape from the hot weather and the scenery was beautiful.

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken for my dad's birthday. My cousin Amanda did such a wonderful job. These are just a few.

My brother Steven and his fiance Misty.

We had a good time romping through my aunt's cow pastuer to get these pictures. A big thanks to Amanda for taking so many great photos. I can't wait to get them hung up in my house.
