Our last day of fun with Alex

We were so happy that the resident turtles at Rita's house were out on Alex's last day in Mexico. Turtles tend to show up in Rita's yard during hurricanes. So, naturally, the turtles are all given hurricane names. Stan and Phyllis are the oldest and biggest ones. They like bananas, tomatoes and, it looks to us, that little girls may be okay too.
Alex woke up from several naps saying that she wanted to go swimming. How lucky are we to be able to accommodate those wishes in Rita's pool. Aside from being stylin', Alex's goggles provide UV protection. How great is that? A far cry from zinc oxide on our noses when we were young.

We sure hope that this is the first of many visits. It sure is heaven to wake up to a little one's voice added to the songs of the birds in the morning.

I love the picture with the turtle! Alex just loved all the wildlife down there... dogs, turtles, lizards, iguanas, and birds... heaven for our little animal lover. I hope we can come back soon!
