The lil'man zooming around Santa Cruz.

Buenos noches!! We have successfully accomplished another afternoon at playa Mojon...and the go go go that comes after. We packed up, headed home, cleaned up the beach gear, heated up la cena, ate dinner, cleaned up again, had tina time and at 7pm, with 2 loads of wash on the go...round one of bedtime is occurring!!

The day? Waaaaaay too early and Max was not in the helping Poppa mood. So he had his leche and then waited impatiently until 615am when the videos started up.

Tranquilo time at 7am and then onto desayunos. Clean up and some more tranquilo time and then we loaded up Max's bici into camioneta verde and were off to Santa Cruz.

A good tour of Santa Cruz, and at 10am it was only 30,0 grados...feeling like 40,0. Max never complains, he just sweats a ton and asks for agua if it has not been offered to him.

Into INM where we were the first customers of the day. Everyone was sitting on the couch and when we rolled in, it was like Cheers where everyone calls out "Norm", but today called out "Max".

We were in and out in 15 minutos and had lots of help keeping ojos on the lil'man. I figured out why we had not heard from them yet...doph.

After dropping off the paperwork and getting the receipt, you need to return in a week and provide fingerprints. I forgot that and so today we rolled Max's fingerprints twice. And the thumbs 4 times. Yikes. He was actually quite intrigued with the "game" and all we did was move the paper vs trying to move Max's digits.

All good and we should hear back from them in 2 weeks!!

Wheeled back to the truck, loaded up and headed home for the leche, libros and siesta...90 minutos of course.

Post siesta it was pack up, load up and hit the road. Max was great coming and going...knock on wood and keep that orange pail handy!!

Sunny and windy at playa Mojon. Waaaaay high tide, but there was some sand near our section of the playa, but the olas were grande and the rip tide was wicked, so there was no jumping in the olas today.

Comida and then some hanging around and getting sandy...and then I let Max y madre have some bonding time. I cleaned up and chill-laxed until it was time to go. The two of them had a blast...cooking coco-camarones in Max's playa cocina!! And after they cleaned up, a quick wheelbarrow ride to the end of the dirt road and then into the camioneta for the ride home.

And that is where we started the update...so onto the fotos.

Max and his hair, wheeling his bici to the camioneta verde for our trip to Santa Cruz.

Playa Santa Cruz at 10am on a miercoles.

The "more fotos??" look.

Is it an owie?

Señor Dramatico!!

Naaah...he was just being tonto and no, his finger did not hurt. Actually, he had just touched some paloma poo.

I managed to get Max to look into the camera. Milagro!! And you get to see all of them.

At the gates to the cruise ship pier.

Max pointing out and then telling me he sees a gas station.

If there is a will, there is a way.

Someone LOVES his bici...and going fast!!

After convincing Max that riding through agua was ok for the bici...I could not stop him!!

Misc foto from the crappy Sony DSC W730.

And as promised, the only usable foto of Max and his tallest Lego tower ever!!

Ok, you are all caught up. Nothing out of the ordinary planned for mañana...but check back as you never know!!

Have a great jueves y hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max

Max, at Poopie Loopie, waiting patiently (?) for his molida res y filetes de pollo.

Buenos tardes. Wow...another sunny day? Rainy season is holding off for now...bringing playa time and lots of humido.

Oh yes...33,0 grados feeling like 45,0!!

Bex y Max are cooling their jets at playa Santa Cruz...where Max, his bici and I are headed mañana so we can check in and see what up with his tarjeta de inmigracion.

I was told it would be a week, it has been two, and when I check online, the status is "sin resolucion".  Stay tuned.

Tons of fotos coming, but first a recap of the día.

How did one bottle of leche and NO agua work last night? Can you say "yikes"? Max was floating in his cuna at 515am and after a panale pit stop, I plopped him into bed and we had 30 minutos of slumber before I was greeted by those famous words..."leche y videos pleeeeease".

Leche yes, videos no and he was fine with that.

Videos at 615am and then we made our way into the palacio for tranquilo time and then desayunos and more turkey bacon!!

It is martes and that means Che day, but we had a quick prowl first, stopping off for some carne and grabbing a few papas as well.

Back home, into the camioneta verde and then off to Fonatur to drop off recycling and then onto Che. No scores, but we did grab everything off our list. Shopping for groceries here in Huatulco is sooo easy, as they really have such a limited selection. Trust me, no extra stuff ends up in the cart, as there is really no extra stuff to buy.

Loaded up the groceries and headed home for the usual...leche, agua, libros and then a 2 hour siesta!! Max needed it (so did Poppa) after the early wake up.

Post siesta...Bubba off to el gimnasio and I took the truck hoping it would make the engine noise and Tony could look at it. No success. Argh. Pit stop at Soriana (I forgot the cacahuates at Che) and then home for clean up, PM rutina prep and now updating all of you.

The familia had their cooking, comida with Handy Manny and then based on a note they left, they built the BEST Lego tower ever built. Fotos mañana.

Off to the playa they went, and off to the fotos we go.

A few poses from the quick AM prowl...Max inspecting the water pipes.

Leak!!

Tonto Max...again.

But after that bow, Max needs to fix the do.

A little sun tan.

And finally a sonrisa!!

Back at the condo, Poppa needed to bring the carne up and put it in the fridge. So Max stays below and chats up Marciano.

And thanks to my co-pilot, we have some fotos from yesterday's play group. They were gone for a few hours...and I have whittled these down from the 318 Bex took!!

Max drove to the parque.

Doing his checks before parallel parking.

Casco on...listo para la diversión!!

Hmmmm...no amigas back here.

Whoa! Gwen...what up with the triciclo?

Hey madre...that is wacked.

But...Danica with training wheel? Hola hola!!

Time to follow me, my little señorita!!

Looks like Max has been told who is boss!!

A little tail gating? Bex tells me that Max was not only tail gating, but ramming. There was a "discussion" to put an end to that.

And Danica stepped on the gas to get away!!

Looks like love still blossoms.

At the hospital, Max discovered he could flip his bici over to do maintenance. So...here we go again.

Choque? Collision?

Just catching his breath.

Max and his ladies. Oh Max.

Bubbles and more bubbles.

Misc...reading in the local periodico that a development in Puerto Escondido, about 2 hours NW of us, has been shut down due to some paperwork irregularities. This is a big Canadian development with some condos going for $500k US.

If buying in Mexico...do your homework!! According to the newspaper, the builders used 30 hectres of the ecological zona...without permission. Yikes.

And as is the costumbre here in Mexico, the back page of the newspaper has close up fotos of 3 peeps killed in a car crash. Yikes again.

Ok, you are all caught up.

Mañana...sunny skies while we have lunch at Mojon? Stay tuned.

Hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max
