Rocky Point

I know I'm way behind, but In an effort to update the blog on all (or at least some) of our recent happenings, here we go:

June 18-21 David and I went to Rocky Point with some of my family. Notice how I didn't include Josh in there? Yes, David convinced me to leave him with David's parents while we were gone. I was a little nervous about it, but it all turned out wonderfully. Don't get me wrong, I missed him like crazy and was very excited to get him back, but he did just fine (according to David's parents) and came home like nothing had happened. The other people who went with us were: my mom and my niece Shelby (David and I drove down with them), Mindy & Chad and their kids + 2 of Chad's sisters, Haylee & Heather, Tyler & Jen and their kids, and Charlie & Tiffany Ballard and their kids + Tiffany's sister Kami Nichols.

We stayed in the Las Palomas condo resort. Chad's boss has a couple of condos that we were able to rent for a pretty good price. My mom & Shelby, David & I, and Mindy's family stayed in a 3 bedroom condo with an awesome view, and Tyler's family and the Ballards stayed in a 2 bedroom condo a few doors down. The resort was really nice because it was right on the beach, but it also had several pools, a lazy river and even a little water slide that the kids all loved after they got tired of playing in the ocean.

David and I forgot to take our camera with us. We did get a little disposable camera there, but I haven't gotten it developed yet (oh how I love digital cameras!), so all the pictures I'll be posting are some that Mindy took.

Spencer is jealous of my sweet ride.


What a hottie!


Riding the "Red Shark". From left to right: Tyler, Kami, me, Shelby, Heather, David. While we were riding we saw a few dolphins that were swimming really close!


David and me getting ready to parasail.


And we're off!


Ahh...how sweet!


Mindy & Kami are ready for their turn.


Having fun with Mindy's camera while they are up in the air. Don't mind the glistening faces!


In addition to those fun things, we had fun looking for cool seashells (I couldn't believe the difference between high tide and low tide), reading, eating (of course!), and shopping at the "dirt mall" that is now paved. Thanks Mindy and Chad for inviting us!

Fun! I wish we would've made it down to Rocky Point before we left AZ. Good work David on convincing you to leave Josh - it's good to have a break once in awhile.

I'm sure it was hard to leave Josh but sometimes it is nice to have a break with your husband. The parasail looks like so much fun. I love the first picture of you out there and Spencer being jealous of your ride.
