ixtapa revisited

This is gonna take a while to upload. Get a drink, use the loo, and I'll see you in a few...

So we went back with some friends. Thanks to the swine flu and the sad state of our world economy, we got an awesome discount for another week in paradise.

M can barely contain her excitement here.

And this time was even more fun with Nate the Great who came along, providing free entertainment. I am related to this guy. I really am. Wow.

Photobucket

He was even there to take some really awesome, makeup-less pics of me. Yeah.

We also ate so healthy.

I'd forgotten a comb, so M and I developed a few unintentional dreadlocks by the end of the week. It was so hot, though, that I attempted to put her hair up...

With an eyebrow/eyelash brush. Sure, I remember this but not a comb?

We spent FHE miniature golfing.

And M spent it rearranging gravel.

One day we took a tiny boat taxi to this island. This water was so clear. So clear, in fact, that you could see all the tiny bits of trash floating around. Super yum. But still awesome.

Unfortunately for Nate, he burned the first day and spent the rest of the trip trying to recover.

Photobucket

Went through a lot of bottles.

Pina coladas make me happy.

I love la-la land. Wish we could stay here forever.

p.s. whenever i go to mexico, i have at least 10 piñadas/piña coladas myself. especially the trip andy and i took just after i found out i was pregnant. piñadas are the only thing that stayed down!!

Angie said...

seriously... an eyebrow brush? That is talent, my friend.

Kristen said...

Beautiful pictures Noelle. So yeah...I think I'd be more motivated to blog if I had a better camera. :) That is my new excuse. It looks so nice there though.
