MEXICO LINDO

A couple weeks ago we took a family vacation to Mexico. My dad and mom drove down from Seattle a week before and my sister flew down a week after we got there. The kids were so happy to see them once our plane landed and I was so happy not to have to watch them every second while there :)

  I also think the thought of living for two weeks next to a small corral of farm animals made my tiny ones super happy. 


Loved making tamales!


Going to the rodeo.



 Since I was in my teens my parents would take us to my fathers town in the heart of Mexico. At that time the town had only one phone. TV, there was no TV and public water came from a spring that would only be turned on from 10am till 4 or 5 pm daily. Also back then I had to wash my clothes by hand. Now, most of the people have phones, washing machines and TV. The water is still from 10am to 4pm. I love the fact that every thing is so simple and within walking distance. Tacos, delish tacos on the corner in the plaza. Freshly made flour tortillas or corn tortillas delivered to your door every morning you knew they'd be coming by the honk of the car horn. My mouth is watering, drip, drip. Every time I leave I'm so happy and grateful for what my parents went thru to have the life they live.  I also want my kids to understand that people have to work hard and you don't need the new toy or designer clothes to be happy. Just family and good food! See you soon Mexico Lindo!
