Cinco De Mayo and Sandhollow

I think that last year, one of our first blog posts was about Cinco de Mayo. Well, it just wouldn't be Cinco de Mayo without a fiesta! Last year we went to Luna Market where no one speaks English to get the meat to make Carne Asada. This year, Gary tried a new recipe for smothered burritos that turned out delicious! It was super spicy until he toned it down a bit. We had some friends over and had a fun fiesta. Thank you Mexico for giving everyone a reason to play.

Jenna and Nicole ready to eat the yummy dinner.
Trish, Kody, and Lily decided to join the fun even though they could only stay for a minute.
Eating out on the deck. The weather was perfect for it!
Some boys and some mustaches.
We wanted to play volleyball afterward, but all the courts were full. The boys got to join a game for a minute though. Gary put the volleyball in his shirt so we could be twins.

On Saturday, we went out to Sandhollow to support Nicole in her Triathlon. She got 3rd Place in her age group! Go Nicole!
Tyler and Nicole have a catamaran that we decided to take out while we were there. Here are the boys setting everything up.
We took turns taking it out. The weather was awesome!
Then all six of us decided to get on and take it for a spin. Well, you have to lay down or be up and ready to move because the sail will flip around with the wind. I felt like some whale that they just caught and threw onboard, but I couldn't let myself miss out on the fun.

After a while, the wind stopped, and we were stuck out there. The catamaran got back heavy as everyone was moving around and started dipping under the water. I was having contractions and was afraid I was going to go into labor in the middle of Sandhollow on a sinking catamaran! Yikes! Thankfully we were able to balance it again and the wind started back up and we made it back to shore. Overall, it was super fun! Just how summer should be :)

Kody says you scare him sometimes! Why would you go out on something like that when you're nine months pregnant. (Those are his words)!

You are too fun! Hope the baby comes soon. Love ya!!!
