Two Weeks in Mexico

We just got back from a lovely trip to Puerto Vallarta Mexico with Craig's mum and step dad.  My parents came too for a few days as well, so it was grandparent central.  The whole trip was wonderful, and being away really allowed me to appreciate where I live.  Even though it is chilly and wet, I love the signs of Spring that we returned to.... bulbs peeking up through the bark mulch, buds on trees, sunshine here and there, and the fresh air that clears your lungs.  Don't get me wrong, heat is wonderful and I'm glad I have a little tan that will last till summer.  But there's nothing like being away to make you appreciate what you've got.  And, though there were several funny moments on our trip, one is worth sharing.

One evening after dinner, Graeme has not eaten so well, and his grandma Karen was negotiating that he eat a little more and then have dessert.  She proposed her idea and, as she reached out her hand, then said, "So, we'll shake hands?"

Graeme looked at her, raised both hands in the air, gave them a good shake, and then ran away.

It was so funny!  He sealed the deal on his terms, but not quite like we'd imagined.  

Here are a few pictures from the trip:
