To celebrate Brian's birthday (one can never have enough celebrations in the Hillins household!!) and to have a family beach vacation we set-off for Cabo!!! The kids big and small were excited!
We opted to stay at a big all-inclusive resort so that the kids would have lots to do! This is outside where we normally ate breakfast. Momma was always worried that Ashley would fall in but big brother was never far from her watching out!
The kids were excited to sleep together in a big bed! And they did great! Helps that the sun wears them out so that they are tired each night!
After exploring the resort after getting in and a good night sleep the kids (and didi, Ashley's lovey) were ready to scope out the beach!
Water babies!
Trevor loved jumping from the high pool to the low pool!
Ashley loved being thrown up in the air by her Daddy!
And they all loved getting drinks at the swim up bar!!!
The resort had a lot of restaurant options. This night we ate at the mexican restaurant that was ocean-side. Ashley liked eating with a big fork and watching the waves!
Trevor was so so excited to get a name bracelet. He carefully selected his colors (blue and camo) and waited patiently for it to be made!
Final product!
No meal is complete without dessert. She is a Kelly after all :)
The next day we took the bus to the sister resort in town. It was right on the water and swimmable. Ashley was just fine staying in the palapa in the shade!
The boys loved chasing waves and watching the cruise ship come in!
Of course, sand castles!
Ashley flagged down a beach vendor (not that hard to do at this beach) and scored a little purse!
Boys!!
Ashley could live at an all-inclusive. The girl LOVES to eat and can order what she wants when she wants it!
Silly girls!
Trevor also scored a parachute hulk to fly on the beach!
Kept him busy for a long long time!
Our room had it's own hot tub on the balcony over looking the ocean. The kids liked to go for a dip around happy hour time!
We even decided to order room service one night to enjoy on part of the deck! Trevor LOVED the spaghetti!
New day, same drill. Breakfast and fish feeding!
And back to the sister resort back in town so the kids could be in the ocean.
Ashley still wasn't a fan of the water. Mommy understands, she isn't an ocean girl either. But pools! We do them!
However, Daddy finally convinced her to go in the ocean with him and she wanted him to throw her up! See the finger sign?
Princess always gets her wish! Although this could also be Daddy lifting her up so that the wave didn't scare her. She definitely wasn't a fan of those!
On that bus trip back to our resort we ran into friends of the Hillins, the Foxes! Small world to see friends in a different country!!!! Back at our resort we went up to the sky pool. So fun!
Yep, she swims with a bow. She has bows specifically designated for swimming. Doesn't everyone?
Trevor loved the ribs at the sky pool.
And Mommy and Daddy just loved being all together!
Boy happy hour in our hot tub!
This particular night we tried out the Asian restaurant. Lots of great photo ops!
Mommy and her kiddos. And didi, can't leave home without it!
Family time!
Little peanut was so tired during dinner that Mommy took her out to some rocking chairs and rocked her to sleep while Daddy and Trevor kept eating.
When we got back to the room we celebrated Daddy's birthday!
Next day back to our favorite spot and palapa. You can see all the beach vendors! But they respect your space when you say no. They even tend to remember you from the prior day and just avoid you LOL
Even the big kid hits a wall and needs to rest!
So Daddy and Ashley try out the ocean again!
Just the three of us!
On the bus ride back to our resort!
While Mommy got ready for dinner Trevor was proud of picking her a flower and bringing it to her. He specifically wanted it in her hair!
We will miss this view!!
Same day, same routine although this time we decided to take a boat out to the famous rocks in Cabo!
Pretty sure this one could live on a boat!
All smiles!
Think this is called Lover's Beach?!?!
And the famous pic you always see from Cabo!
This one too!
Glad we took the boat out to see it up close!
We had the boat to ourselves! It was glass bottom too but we couldn't see much because of the sun!
Ashley was not a fan of the boat. Or maybe it was wearing a life jacket. You can see she clearly is not following Coast Guard rules. Diva.
Take my picture Mommy!
Beach shot of where we just took the boat too. Ashley is still less than impressed! Ha ha!
The next day we stayed at our resort so Ashley could have more 'uppies' from Daddy!
And more drinks to bring Mommy!
Trevor showing off his back float!
Family pic on our balcony!
Take 2 :)
The next day we didn't bring a camera to the pool so that we could just make memories in our hearts not through a camera!! We can remember lots of laughter and fun! At night we dressed up to take some beach pics in hopes of getting one for our Christmas card!
Mommy and her kiddos!
Family pic!!!
Sibling pic!
Love these 2!! And lucky they love each other too!
Stud!
All the love!
One last sleep before we depart! Sweet dreams!
At the airport ready to go home!!! Although let's be honest we could have stayed another 8 days!!
