Day 2 in Rocky Point

We went to the beach. Now, this is a wee bit harder than it appears because much of the beaches around town are mostly rock. However, this is at low tide so the kids got to play in the sand and there was enough water and animals in the tide pools to keep them happy.

The kids and I flew a kite. Well worth the $1 from the Target $1 section.
David is the master at making sand castles.
After the beach, we went to the charbroiled chicken place. It has been interesting to watch the business grow from a one small roofed "hut" to a very large one with a tiled floor and wood table and chairs.

It was HOT at the beach so we needed refreshment!

Simon & Hannah had Coke from a bottle. They thought that was the coolest thing!
This is a rare shot of David in a hat. He never wears a hat and often gets burnt. However, after out trip to Carefree where he was BURNT TO A CRISP, he has learned his lesson (at least for this year) about sunscreen & hats.

I tried this new spray on sunscreen from Coppertone and loved it! Very nice & easy to put on.

After a nap, we went swimming in the hotel pool. Um, yes, it is a wee bit green. The hotel has definitely really gone down hill in the past few years so we are looking for a condo next time!
After our swim, we headed downtown for a seafood dinner. Hannah had been begging to get her hair braided. It is quite the thing to do, especially for young girls. I was a bit dubious because she is very touchy about her hair and her head hurting but she was a champ and LOVES them.

I think she is excited to show them off at summer camp today.
We had a great dinner of fish, clams & shrimp and a gorgeous sunset to match.

Looks like you guys had a wonderful trip! The sunsets are gorgeous and everyone looks so happy and relaxed. Hannah wears the braids well (and how is it possible she's aged just in the last month or so? Her eyes are stunning.) I look forward to seeing pictures from the rest of your trip as the week progresses! Have a good one! =)

Looks like you guys had a blast -- total jealousy here. But hey, next time you go to Mexico give me a ring -- I'll completely help you find something that isn't run down :)
