The Cleveland Family: August 2010

We went to Mexico the first week of August with Logan's Family. It was so much fun! It was Autumn's first time on an airplane...she did great. Grandma Joy helped with Autumn so much the entire trip

This was Autumn's first time at the beach, we went down as soon as we got all settled in at the resort. I think she liked the sand between her toes feel !

One of the days on our trip the family went Scuba Diving. It was Logan's first time and he had a blast! I stayed home with Autumn that day because she's just a bit to little to do that. I hope we go again some time when Autumn is a little older so I can try it too!

To get into the water you have to fall off the boat backwards. Here goes Logan...

SPLASH!! Look at his cute little legs!

After the long day of Scuba everyone was pretty hungry so we went to a little restaurant just outside of the resort, it was pretty good. It ended up being one of the favorite spots for fajitas on the trip.

Autumn and Daddy just after dinner. She is so dang cute!

We went to the flee markets on one of the days and had a lot of fun finding little things and bartering for them. We got Autumn a cute little Mexican dress, a fishy mobile to hang above her crib (I bartered him down for 250 pesos to 80 pesos! I was pretty proud) and Logan and I both got ponchos.
Autumn just loves her Beautiful Aunt Brooke. She is so good with her.

Autumn with Grandpa Kevin, she was getting pretty hot so he held her in front of a big fan to cool her off

She looks good in Daddy's favorite glasses too! This is Logan's favorite swim suit of hers...It's a little too big, but it still looks pretty cute! Grandmas Simmons gave it to her, it used to be mine

Mary-Ashley and I were so excited to see the ocean, she was swinging me around

This cute Mexican couple just loved Autumn. She wanted to hold her so bad! She was tickling her and kissing her, I didn't know what they were saying exactly but they were just loving her!

Autumn had her first taste of Guacamole! Now she is officially part of the family because we all love guacamole and have it every Sunday at Grandma Joy's house! I don't know how much she liked it...but I'm sure in a few years she'll love it!

Every night during happy hour we would all go down to the bar and get Pina colatas (they were virgin...don't worry!) and just talk about what we did that day and what we liked about it. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip, just hanging out and talking with everyone. One of the nights we started talking about when the kids were younger, I love it when they start telling their stories, Logan starts laughing so hard he almost cries. It's pretty funny. Most of the funny stories are things he would do and blame on Steven or things Steven did. Our family would be pretty boring if Steven wasn't a part of it.

At the beginning of the week Logan and I went on a mountain biking outing. It was a really fun outing, probably one of the best ones we've ever done. It was just he and I and a tour guide. It was a pretty hard ride. It started out in town and we rode through the streets for about five minutes and then we started up a dirt trail. There were so many hills...I thought I was going to die. At the top there was a waterfall and a big pool of water you could jump into, if I hadn't had that to look forward to I probably wouldn't have made it. Logan did great he would go to the top of the hill and then wait for me. I did pretty well the first half and then I got so tired I had to push my bike up the hills.

But eventually we made it to the top! It was really beautiful.

Here is Logan just casually waving before he jumps off the cliff into the water

Logan in mid jump...I'm not very good at taking pictures, I couldn't get a clear picture of this, I tried about five times before he was like "No more, it's your turn." I was so scared. I just couldn't do it. I stood at the edge forever just saying over and over again, "I don't think I can do it Logan."

But I finally worked up the courage and jumped! I screamed so loud it hurt my ears. Logan is clearly better at taking pictures than I am cause I'm not a big blur in my picture.

After we finished swimming we hopped back on our bikes and rode back down the mountain. It was a much faster ride on the way down thank goodness!

This is us with our Tour guide. He was so nice. He didn't speak much English but Logan and him talked a lot in Spanish, that is always fun for Logan to keep up on his Spanish.

Logan is so buff! He is just showing off his huge muscles after that bike ride!

My legs got pretty dirty on the way down, we had to ride through a shallow part of the river....My feet got soaked!

My huge muscles! I felt so buff after finishinig the intense ride.

We went to dinner in Town and Pipi's! Pipi's is our favorite resturant every year!

We went surfing on our last day there. It was probably the funnest day of the whole trip for everyone. We went to a way pretty beach and rented boared and took turns going out and trying to surf. I think most of us were able to get up at least a few times!

Autumn has cute chubby feet and legs...Aunt Brooke has skinny little feet and legs!

The girlis just posing with our boards

Mary did a back flip off of Aaron's shoulders and Cody did a great job capturing it with his water proof camera.

Brooke, Mary and I...I love these girls!

Our cute bums.

CANDY! A little boy was walking along the beach with this wheelbarrow full of candy. We got theses yummy little chewy watermelon ones...they were so good.
