Cabo

So for those of you out of the loop, Dave and I accepted a generous offer from great friends, the Waddells, to join them on their vacation in Cabo. It was totally unplanned and for us, quite spontaneous, but oh, so very necessary and good.

For the girls, it was quite the adventure. Zoe had taken a trip back east when she was about 9 months old, but don’t let anyone fool you; travel with a baby is MUCH different from traveling with a busy toddler and pre-pre-schooler! We thought we might be crazy, what with our being four adults with four kids under the age of four. But Danika and Gordon’s girls are Zoe’s age (Lucy) and 6 months (Beatrix), and the mix really seemed to work wonders.

Here are some pix (OK, lots) chronicling our fantastic week.

Oh yeah. I was there, too :P

Tuckered out

A bit of solitude

“The girls on the bus go…” (Toys were packed. It was impressive what they could do to entertain themselves with a few sheets, cushions and baby dolls!)

Homeward bound (I only wish they had slept that much!)

Priceless.

Thanks so much, Waddells. We loved it.
