Here's a few pictures from our recent trip to Mexico. I don't have many pictures of me because I was usually the one holding the camera. I'm hoping my sister got some better photos. We rented a house right on the beach and there were 12 of us staying there - including myself, my DH, my 3 kids, my husband's niece, my brother, my parents, my sister and BIL and their 5-month old.

You light packers will laugh but I brought 7 swimsuits and 4 coverups for a week long trip to Puerto Penasco, Mexico. Yes, I know I don't need that many, but it's fun to have choices and since we were there a whole week, I had plenty of opportunity to wear them. Plus, I needed at least 3 so I could change into a dry swimsuit while the others were drying. The ocean is super warm at this time of the year, so I spent a lot of time in the water - kayaking, snorkeling, floating, playing in the waves, etc. I love the ocean! I also brought 4 pairs of shorts and 7 t-shirts/tanks. I definitely didn't need a top for every day since I spent most of the day in a swimsuit and usually only changed into real clothes around dinner time. And then several evenings we got back in the water after dinner.

#1 - 3 swimsuits, 2 swimshirts - one short sleeved and one long sleeved, 4 coverups.

#2 - The 3 pairs of shoes I packed, 4 more swimsuits, and a very thin sweater that I thought I might need for cooler eveings (in the house, outside it was always warm).

#3 - Typical beach wear although I only wear the rash guard when boogie boarding or snorkeling (to avoid burning my back)

#4 - Kayaking

#5 - Flat hair, no makeup, wearing a beach coverup. I was playing a board game with my two older sons and niece.

#6 - My littlest - such a water baby!
