We had, had to stop at la tienda to buy water.  DeWitt was the funny man and wanted a HUGE bottle to be able to take it to school and walk around with it.

Mom and Scott, I love the baskets.

Our Rocky Point Vacation June 17-June 24, 2011

Here we are the morning of our summer vacation.  We are only an hour behind, so we feel we are right on schedule.  This is in our cul-de-sac, right before we head off for our big adventure.  We took mom and dad this year.  I was really wanting to show them a good time.

This is the first of the adventures and good times that I was able to show my parents.  This is at Panchito's in Ajo.  When we stopped for our bathroom break at the casino, Scott noticed that one of our tires was starting to show serious signs of distress.  So instead of turning right to go to the boarder we turned left and went to Ajo, in hopes of finding a tire.  Panchito was kind and gracious and willing to help travellers in need.  Too bad he gave us a bad tire.

Because here we are 15 miles down the road with a worse tire than our first bad tire.  Panchito's completley fell apart.  Mom and dad were in their car right behind us, so they had to stop everytime we stopped.  I felt so badly for them, but they are such good sports.

The kids chatting it up with grandma.  DeWitt is the type to have fun with anything.  He made a game with a cactus that was about 50 yards away.  The game....to throw a rock and see who can hit it.  My rock went about 5 yards.  Everyone else did pretty good.  Then when people were too hot and tired, DeWitt grabbed  up a watermelon sized rock and chucked it towards the cactus.  It went about the same distance as mine.

We had to unload our very overly loaded car, to get the spare tire and tools.

Here is my most awesome husband, who can do anything, changing the tire.  Three different police officers stopped to help us, two stayed to watch Scott.  They were very kind and I was glad to know that they were available in such a baren desert.  Scott made quick work of the tire changing, and then instead of going back to Panchito's to get a refund for our tire, we just headed south to the border.  We stopped at, at least 4 different tire stores, and finally the last shop had our size of tire.  I'm so glad that Scott speaks Spanish, did I mention his awesomness.  We got a great tire so we could finally begin our vacation. 

YEAH the Chicken Hut!!!!  We made it.  A 6 hour trip turned to a 9 hour trip.  Everyone was taking it all in stride.  Scott and I still felt so bad about  the parents experience with our vacation together.

Eating at the Chicken Hut brings many happy faces.

Walking into the cool lobby.  This first part of the lobby has sounds like a Myan howler. 

Dad was impressed with the animal sculpted towels.

This was the first night.  We love to walk around the resort at night and see all the beauty

Going back to our room, after chilling at the pool.

One of our favorite things to do, is to play games in the lobby.

There was a lot of soccer on tv, so DeWitt is giving grandpa a quick lesson in how the game works.

So happy to be at Rocky Point!

We are headed down to the beach to see "high tide"  Grandpa checked the computer to see when it would be and then we all went down to see it.  It was quite a sight.

Silly Allison makes fun of me for taking so many pictures, so this is her posing for me.

Hanging out

We were watching the kids who wanted to night swim

Our room was right behind them.

Dallin's First Pictures from the MTC

I was so happy to open the mailbox and discover that dallin had sent a camera card with these pictures on them.  I don't know everything about them all, but I was so happy to see them.  These were taken in the month of June, 2011. 

Dallin wrote this in his letter on June 30, 2011,

"So this last Sunday I got to pass the sacrament to the General authorities.  It was an amazing experience.  All of the 12 were there except Hales and Packer, then President Eyring presided, and some of the quorum of the 70s were there.  Then all of the mission pres, and their wives and all the wives of the generals too.  President Nelson invited us to stay and listen to the new mission presidents seminar afterward, because he is in charge of the missionary committee.  It was great to hear a different perspective as the 12 spoke to the mission presidents.  I was in the same room as all of them giving the sacrament to them and then hearing all of them bare their testimonies and as well hearing Elder Holland, and Elder Nelson and Elder Eyring all speak.  It was funny too hear Elder Holland talking to the mission Presidents, it was like they were little kids.  It was a great experience.  One that I will surely never forget.  They are all real men like me and you, but something different.  No not different, something more.  They are more than I am.  I never saw Pres. Eyring without a smile.  They are so filled with love and that I don't have the ability to comprehend"

"Les Amo por siempre su hijo amado, Elder Evans"
