Santo Tomas

Well I know I haven't posted in a while. There have been a lot of things I have wanted to post about, but never did it. So I will just post about our wonderful week long vacation to Santo Tomas, Mexico. We usually go to Puerto Penasco, Mexico but this year we went about 80 miles further south. It was very nice. The beach was beautiful and when the tide was out you could walk out forever. We were the only ones there except for my sister in law sisters family and one other family was there but left shortly after we arrived. It was such a long drive out there that I thought for surely we were lost and had taken a wrong turn somewhere, but we did finally arrive. We had a great time, except for the last three days when Landen got sick, throwing up and really bad diarrhea. (Which he still has the diarrhea. I'm not very good at enforcing the BRAT diet) That was not fun. And then Sydney would only sleep if she slept with Byron and I. (She finally cut a tooth, so that will explain the fussiness and screaming and knawing on her hands, and waking up all hours of the night.) So many sleepless nights, but it was all worth it to be at the beach. I couldn't believe how many dolphins we saw. It was so awesome. One of the times we saw dolphins, Anthon drove Halee, Sherry, and I on the jet ski to see them. They were so close to us and there were so many of them. It was the coolest experience. They would follow us and swim all around us. I wish I had a water proof camera with me.

I knew of Sidney Rigdon from the scriptures and my sister confirmed to me who he was...cool thing! Although we originally liked the name...just because! So now we have Sydney and Rigden!

That trip sounds so fun! I loved looking at all of your pictures. I'm sorry the kids got sick. Whitney cut a tooth about the same time too! How far apart are our kids? Like a week? :) How fun to see dolphins and go jet skiing!
