Mexico...

 Finally pictures from Mexico. Sorry I don't have many of people, we didn't take many pictures this trip.

Me, as we are walking out on the pier.

The Hotel we stayed at! Just beautiful!

Trent as we walk out to the pier. 

One night at the hotel was Western Night! They had a mechanical bull and it was so funny to see people get thrown off! Above is Brandon slapping away at the bull with his hat! 

Brandon promptly falling off the bull. 

Jeff holding on for deal life... 

Jeff promptly falling off the bull.

Trent riding the bull... sadly I missed catching him falling off :(

Don't you just love taking pictures of beautiful sun sets! My problem is whenever I take a pictures of sun sets that look like the picture above... they always turn out like the pictures below! A secret to capturing the sun set how you see it... use your sun glasses as a filter!  The only difference between the two pictures is one is taking with sun glasses and one is not. Amazing!

Okay so the last two days we were there they started tearing up the beach. Apparently they have been losing their beach to the ocean so they had to redo it... interesting. But I was able to get a good picture of a tractor on the beach. (Getting a good tractor picture has been an assignment from a college photo class... wasn't able to find a unique picture of one until now! Assignment finally completed!)

On our last day in Mexico, we decided to go on a walk. This was the beautiful sun rise that welcomed us. 

Not only did we get a beautiful sun rise, we got to witness one of the great miracles of life. We were able to see baby sea turtles making their first journey into the ocean! It was absolutely amazing!

 

At first glance the picture below just looks like a picture taken by accident. But little do you know, this is the baby sea turtle's nest. Not only is it hard to see in the picture, it was hard to find. If it weren't for the little tracks we would never have found it. 

As we were watching the turtles make their trek for the ocean, a security guard came over and started digging in the hole. He started to pop out these little turtles that were packed in the sand like fossils. He pulled out about 20 of them then suck them back in the hole and buried them. We were shocked but latter found out that the ones he pulled out just weren't ready for the journey yet. They wouldn't have the strength to make it to the ocean before the sun would be too hot and burn them up. He said that they would make their way out of the sand on their own when they could make it to the ocean. 

Its hard to see, but this is my attempt at being artistic at capturing the baby's on their way to the ocean. 

So our hotel had some other fun animals around. They had 3 Bengal tigers. 

And a bunch of parrots. It was funny, these birds were soaking wet! Their care taker was giving them a shower with the hose and man, they loved it! It was so fun to watch!

We had a great time in Mexico and can't wait to go back one day! 

Until Next Time...
