Spring is finaly here (this week) and it is making me want to go camping. I thought I would post some pictures from our last trip, we had such a
wonderful time with the kids.

Good times!

Looks like a wonderful vacation. The water in the snorkeling shot looks really inviting. Where was that?
Actually it looks as though it was near Shari's place. Every time I've been there the water was in the low 60's but I know it gets warmer.

The picture of Todd & the kids snorkeling was with the sea lions by Shari & Juan's place. Juan took us out, and the kids had a blast. The
youngest gypsy had a sealion doing flips underneath him. The water was not bad, we were their in November.

What a lovely family! Thanks for sharing the pics. I know you guys had a blast, I remember the birthday pics. Your kids are so lucky to have parents
who are exposing them to adventures like these.
What a joy to read this post.

Iflyfish, I was fortunate enough to have parents that valued travel to other countries and took my sister and myself along most of the time. I think
it teaches children more than they can ever learn in school, and of course builds memories that will last a lifetime. They all can not wait to get
back to Baja, it has become a second home to them.

Love that red toy! Allways wanted one of those models. Has it been converted to a V8?
What a great family trip. Everyone was smiling...perfect!

I wanna know how you managed to get a picture of us at the birthday party without a tecate in our hands...photoshoped em out I suppose! We had another
Sunday family gathering yesterday in San Roque and were fondly remembering your fine family. We currently have a group of young teens here doing
spanish immersion and they are having a blast. There was a big quinceañera Saturday night and they danced alot and today is a big soccer &
basketball match. See you guys in the summer!

Bajagypsy,
Thank you for sharing your trip and the fantastic photos. I really liked the 'homework' shot. I hope you showed it to your children's teachers. Kids
CAN learn out of the classroom. We homeschooled our daughter in Baja her 2nd grade year. When we returned to the US she tested mid 3rd grade.
(Although her 5th grade report card this year makes me think we need to go back to homeschooling in Baja!) We spend every school holiday at 'home' in
Baja, and miss it madly when we're not there.
What a fine family you have! Once again, thank you for sharing.

Shari, I don't know what you are talking about, we do not drink!!
Paulina, I totaly agree with you, our kids always come back form a trip, so far ahead it makes you wonder what they do in class.
Skipjack Joe - 3-19-2007 at 02:44 PM
It's the one on one teaching you had in baja versus one on thirty in classroom
Fifth grade has been a big jump in our school district. Up until now there were weekly homework packets. Now they're nightly and we end up spending 1
1/2 - 2 hours on this stuff every evening. TV time has gone down. Computer game time has gone down. It's an unwelcome adjustment.
