Snorkeling and Senor Frogs

I have a germ-a-phobe husband. Ok, Ok he isn't that bad but there is no way he would have us go on a Snorkeling tour in a different country without our own gear. Ryan and I already have our own since that was my present to him when we got married because we were going to Cabo then too. We got each of the kids their own color and snorkeling gear and now they can use it on any of the trips. No way would we put our mouths on the same mouth piece as a million others. The one plus though if you don't want to buy your own gear because you don't snorkel a lot you can buy just the mouth piece on the Cruise Ship for 5 dollars that you can throw away later.

We love snorkeling. Its so neat to really see deep down. Ryan and Cassie are usually the ones diving down deeper to see more.

Its pretty neat to go on a Snorkeling Excursion from the ship though because they boat you out to two different places. While you are headed there you are told all about the scenery and history too of Cabo. That is the main reason I wanted to do an excursion so its educational also.

Lovers Beach

This is Los Arcos Behind us. A very well known rock formation in Cabo. We usually snorkel at Lovers Beach but there were so many people we went out to two other places.

My favorite all time part of this Snorkeling Adventure was holding the puffer fish. I never even knew you could do that. The guide brought it to us and when we let it go it was neat to watch it shrink down back into its original form. Holding it so delicately and looking at its amazing features. They are so cute!

It was an amazing trip and we had a lot of fun. It was kind of over cast that day so we started to get a little cold by the end of it.

 The kids were starving by then so we decided to go to Senor Frogs a famous restaurant in Cabo. Its kind of a party place but its more of a restaurant. I liked it because they made it fun for the kids without any alcohol. They have great food and the servers are really friendly and fun.

Yummy food

After dinner we had an hour before getting on the ship so we walked the strip and bought some gifts for our nieces and nephew. The kids got to see some pretty neat people.

I was happy that they didn't have the little kids out that are always trying to sell you Chiclets. I personally think its horrible to have your 4-7 year old working. We never bought from them the last time we were there but we did buy them ice cream and give it to the kids. They have a new thing of kids not working there so that was nice to see. I think the kids should be playing not working to get money for their families.

The day was a great day. Snorkeling is something everyone should do. The only tips I have are make sure you spray your sunscreen on your backside really good:) If Ryan had a tip it would be buy your own equipment on Amazon. Its nice,inexpensive and worth it.

Going to finish that....get into my ZEN zone and post, post, post, post away! Here are just a FEW pictures to keep you wanting more though. Missed all of you!

4 Teens Typical Day and a New Baby

The teens have a half day of school today so with the sun shining chores seem to be easier and they are wanting to be outside. This is a good thing for a mom to hear. I want the kids to always be active. Although sometimes I have to beg them for a picture but that's what I do. Bug my kids! ITS MY JOB! I swear it says in the job description of mothers that we have to bug our children. I do that by one...taking way too many pictures and two...I hug them for 20 seconds too long till they are like, "Mom OMG Mom". Yep! My job is done hehe.

3 of the kids coming home. Jason stayed after school.

The first thing they were excited about was all their scuba gear came in! I made them try it on and thankfully they didn't ask to take a bath or something with them. If anyone would ask that it would probably be Josh! He is always doing strange things. This is how he is on the couch right now ha!

Cassie

Our lambs we bottle fed four times a day. Today I had Cassie drive to the barn which is a couple miles. Although she is 16 she got into a cart accident months ago so she is a little skittish. We are starting all over on the driving. As she is used to driving the CART and now a CAR. She did good. I know when I was 16 I was chomping at the bit to drive. My kids aren't that way which is fine. They have all their lives to drive. Plus all of them drive on the Ranches anyways. Feeding went well as usual.

Driving on the Ranch

Cassie with Stevie the Lamb

Jackson was out looking for squirrels to get. They aren't real squirrels but rather ground animals. These things ruin the land by digging holes everywhere. Our horses, cows or lambs could get hurt by breaking their legs because of this. So Jacks passion is to get them out of that area.

Ryan had to travel to work today so he surprised the kids with Taco Bell. For anyone in the world this is probably not a surprise but when you live 1.5 hours from a Taco Bell it IS a surprise. I personally am not a Taco Bell fan but the kids love it. Even if the taco is a little soggy by the time its back home. YUCK lol! After giving the kids their precious taco bell he went to replace our headlights. Always something to do on the Ranch trucks.

Cassie did dance workouts and we walked some which was nice. She decided to also come with us to Jason's Beef meeting for 4H. Its amazing the stuff you can learn at those meetings. All about cows, how to fed, what parts they have and how to show them at fairs. I love that he is in 4H. Today we got to see an emergency C section to save the Calf. The Mom was not going to make it so it was better to save one.

They were very curious

We named her Mini because she is a few weeks early and small. It was such an educational thing for the kids to see. Jason and Cassie had an educational experience with their friends!

What could be better than that. Ryan and I got to help also. It was pretty neat. This little gals gonna make it and we were excited to see her come out alive. I seriously am amazed at all that Ranchers have to do and know. The ones we know do everything so kindly and so animals don't suffer. Here are a couple pics of the new baby! If she isn't able to be grafted onto another animal...we will be bottle feeding her. She had her first colostrum today.

I love her!!!!

Feeding Colostrum

It was a pretty normal day after homework and chores were done. I love the sun and the fact that things are blooming! My Rosemary and Oregano is back up and I think that calls for some Rosemary Chicken tomorrow! Yum! Planting my Garden will be just around the corner!
