Playa Chileno & San Jose Cabo

On our last full day of vacation, we did a little adventuring outside of the resort. Our first stop was Playa Chileno, a beach nearby. We went there because the beach by our hotel had tides that were too strong to allow swimming. We wanted to get some real ocean time in, so off we went. Here are some photos of Playa Chileno, complete with palapas to relax under!
Relaxing and playing under our palapa.
And Emeline's first dip in the ocean. She did alright, but was a little afraid of the waves.

Later that day, after naps and rest for all, we went to a small town nearby called San Jose Cabo. This is also where the airport is, but it is a much smaller town that Cabo San Lucas. That evening they had an art walk, where local artists open their galleries and people roam the streets. We didn't get many pictures, Emeline was a little tired from swimming, and understandably annoyed about all the car seat and stroller time.

We tried to get some photos in front of the local mission, but Emeline was a little difficult to wrangle.
So we let her run around the plaza across the street.
Final a few photos that actually prove we were in Mexico!

Cabo - Date night

One of the great parts of traveling with another family, is we got to give each other some baby relief. Each couple got a date night, and the babies got TWO play dates :).

We got a little dolled up, still relaxed and Cabo style...
Since we had some time before dinner, we wandered around taking pictures more leisurely.
Wes took pictures of things he's interested in...
And I took some of my favorites too...
We also sat in the sun, having appetizers and listening to live guitar music. Then we went back to our favorite restaurant and enjoyed a delicious dinner.

When it was our turn to watch the kids, we ordered dinner in, and let the babies do their thing! Emeline and Noah play very well together. Such sweet kids!

This is one of my favorites because it shows Emeline and her favorite toys now, books. And Noah loving the musical barn toy. He kept pressing the button and bobbing his head to the music.
And last but not least, Noah, seeking a little refuge and looking up. I got to have some nice cuddly moments with Noah, which were very special! Apparently, there are some babies who like to cuddle :)

Cabo - At the beach

Emeline has been to the beach before, but I must admit, I was a bit nervous about it this time because she is so mobile. I knew there would be no containing her on a towel to keep her from the sand. But like anything new, it's not so bad, she didn't get nearly as sandy as I thought.

Here are some photos of the kids playing in the sand.

The beach in front of our hotel was gorgeous, but unfortunately, the tides were too strong, so no swimming was allowed. But, there were big palapas to relax under, and some of them even had hammocks, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

While Emeline and relaxed in the hammock, Wes took a walk along the beach. Here are some pictures he took.

Beautiful blue water.

Ahhh....

Cabo - Tub time

At home, Emeline has been in a bath ring/seat to keep her from falling over in the tub. Since we didn't want to bring this on vacation, we though we'd just put down towels in the tub so she wouldn't slip around. Even better, the hotel had anti-slip mats to put down. Emeline just LOVED being able to be free in the tub. It makes for more work for us, cause she's up and walking around, but it's fun to see her so happy in the water. So long bath seat at home! Here are some pictures of her adventure in the big hotel tub.

Happy!
