Price Family Cruisin'

To celebrate the retirement of my amazing mother-in-law (Mary Ann), we took a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico with Mary Ann, her sister Barbara, and Russ's siblings (and their spouses too of course)!  

We decided to tour the famous blow-hole "La Bufadora" when we got off the boat in Ensenada. It was fun to walk around and shop, try some authentic Mexican tacos, drink the best ever pina coladas & mango coladas, and see what we could of the blow-hole!

 It was a pretty sight to see but we never saw the water shoot as high as it does at other times.

 I found the picture below when I googled "la bufadora images"... that's pretty cool!

 

This was "formal night" on the cruise but we weren't very formal!

 

 Matthew & Megan

 Krysta & Matt

 Barbara & Mary Ann

 John & Christy

 Megan found a great 80's outfit to wear for formal night... and she still looked so cute! I could never pull that off.

 Matt & Krysta celebrated 18 years of marriage on the cruise! What cute lovebirds!

I took a few pictures of the inside of the boat to show our kids but I don't think the pics do it justice...

It was fun to see the different towel creations waiting for us each night when we returned to our room. All of the "crew members" were so nice and always 'at your service'.

It was fun to get away on an adult-only trip. Thanks to Mary Ann for retiring and making this trip possible for us! She has worked hard to provide for herself and her family for many years... I think she's been in education for 25 years or so and 15 or 16 of those were spent as a principal. Like I said, she is amazing!!

Cute kids

This is Sophie & Noah on a HOT August afternoon... I thought it was so funny!

 

Noah is playing in a flag football league for the first time. Yesterday was the first time we saw him play and I loved it! I might finally start to learn about the game of football. Noah was a lot of fun to watch - he scored a touchdown, an extra point, and took 5 flags while playing defense. It's gonna be an exciting season!

The picture below is when he caught a pass then scored an extra point. You gotta love the "mouth-guard" face!

phone pictures

I'm wishing for a new phone, but one thing I would hate to part with are some of my favorite pictures on my current one... they bring back such good & funny memories from over the past 2 years:

1. Russ looking cute on our 2nd date

 2. Noah looking cute on his first day of pre-K.

 3. Sophie looked so different 2 years ago...

 4. This is one of my favorites so I'm making it BIG! Sophie came home from church one day and tucked a shirt into her tights then pulled some boots on. She thought it was a cute outfit!!

 5. Russ tried on his snowboard gear the night before heading to the snow. What you don't see in this picture is that he was watching the Winter Olympics and wishing he could be part of it.

 6. Newborn Lucy

 7. Sad but so funny!

 8. I think this is my most favorite picture on my phone. Last year I picked up Ellie from school sometimes on Fridays then she went with me to get Noah at school. He was always excited to see her and disappointed on the Fridays she wasn't with me. Here they were holding hands all the way to the car. It was so cute!!

 9. My cute basket liner for my bike... my talented mother-in-law made it then I added the flowers.

 10. Lucy got into Noah's marker one day and Noah & I couldn't stop laughing at her expression in this picture!

 11. Lucy rode with me to get Noah from school one day...

 12. Russ loves to wear his socks half-way off when relaxing - I love that I have a picture of it!

 13. We had a scorpion situation one day when Russ wasn't home and I seriously didn't know what to do! I told Noah he had to get it since he was the man of the house while Russ was gone.

 14. Noah wasn't too happy. Although he tried to act tough, he was really scared - just as Ellie and I were as we stood back to watch him take care of it.

 15. Yes, he is crying. We ended up watching the scorpion for over an hour until Scott got off work and came over to take care of it.

 16. My 2 sleepy boys...

 17. I love nights when Russ serenades me!

 18. My sleepy boys again - I love sleeping pictures!

 19. A few days before school started - Ellie was over and wanted to do Noah's hair. She worked on it for a loooonnngg time and he just let her. It was cute!

 20. And lastly... Russ e-mailed this picture-note to me one day when he left on vacation. I loved it and haven't wanted to erase it. He's the best!

More Lake Powell Pictures

Suzanne took just as many (or more) pics than I did that I wanted to document of Lake Powell...
