Tuesday Louise’s mother stepped off the plane to join us for a week. Lois has been down here in Cabo a number of times and it is good to get her here again. The rest of us, Mikleane, Rick, Lil Louise, Drew, Louise and myself have been starting each day, with “Breakfast At The Sand Bar”…you might say we are joining others like Ricardo and Suzie in becoming “regulars”. Now we have one more “groupie” joining us…Great Grandma” (90 years old and still traveling the world on her own !!!). Now this isn’t a bad way to start a day…breakfast under the beach umbrella, bare feet in the sand, 76 degrees in the shade, and Bloody Mary’s around (well, maybe not everyone and not every morning…but…). For the grandkids it was breakfast (if you can believe, Drew had pancakes every morning) and then off to do as many water sports as a day would allow. From pool hopping, swimming in the Sea of Cortez, more rides on the parasail, jet-skis, and continuous rides on “The Banana”, it was fun, fun, fun… I even took a tour on the Banana as well. My forearms will never be the same from having to hold on so tight. I must say, it was a lot of fun but I just couldn’t keep up with the younger group. Yesterday we were honored by Ricardo, using his talent as a photographer, in taking some “family” pictures for us. Ricardo suggested a special beach location, just before sunset, and the fun began. One of the primary shots we were looking for was the 4 Generation picture. Then Ricardo had all of us “posing” for some amazing pictures in an amazing location with an amazing photographer…Thank You Ricardo and Suzie !!! Then it was back to the coach, get into some dry clothes, and head off to our last dinner in Cabo together. We had made reservations at Romeo and Juliet’s, which is almost a tradition for us in it’s self. All of our family has joined us for great meals there over the years. Now to end this long day, we head back to The Sand Bar (about 9:30pm) to sit around the fire pit and enjoy the fireworks display at waters edge. When Louise and I traveled through South Dakota this last July, we stopped by this huge fire works warehouse. I wanted to buy some “BIG” stuff… The thought was to have all this to use during our “Family Re-union”, but the fire hazard was too high, so we continued to carry them until last night. We did have some “Fine Stuff, Big Stuff, Loud and Pretty Stuff”…we had people coming out onto their terraces at those “high priced” hotels watching…Good time…. Well this morning it was time for the “kids” to say good-bye. 9:30 breakfast, one more Banana ride, shaking of hands and hugs around to those at the Sand Bar, Ricardo and Suzie’s place, and finally here at the coach.
Tonight it’s quiet…Louise is back on her computer, Lois (Great Grandma) is playing solitaire at the table, and me….writing of course…
