Random Happenings

 It's been a busy couple of days, weeks, months.
Sometimes I feel like I blink and not just a day,

 but a whole week is gone.

We've been doing a little of this, a little of that,

a whole lot of activities and definitely some fun along the way.

Basketball wrapped up for Max.

Team Warriors had a great season.

Carmen enjoyed horse backing riding 

and spending time with one of her oldest friends.

The cats are perfecting their best sleeping positions.

 This is Carmen's favorite because 

it looks like a heart.

One new house project complete.

1,000 more to go...

Baseball season started up.

Max has been hitting the batting cages

and enjoying the start of games.

I particularly get a chuckle out of this pic.

They breed them big in the Majors!

Carmen accidently created a science experiment out of 

a smoothie she left in the fridge in her room a little too long...

Good Morning.

Max continues to play soccer.

The Celtic boys enjoy time together on and off the field.

5 pizzas smashed in no time at all.

Carmel ribbon Frappuccino anyone?

Spangle all cozied up.

Pinkies up.

Carmen and her friends.

Tea party fun.

One of my favorites.

On the way to soccer practice,

a goose and a duck crossing the road.

Can't get much more random than that.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

 May your day be filled with lots of green.

Happy Birthday

 Happy Birthday Dad.

Reliving so many good memories.

I love you.

Loreto

 This mid-winter break we traveled to Loreto, Mexico.
A new place, new adventure with 17 Skurski's. 
A week of fun, sun and relaxation.

The scenery was amazing.

Cactus covered mountains 

coming out of the beautiful sea.

Blue skies with amazing clouds, crystal clear water.

We spent time exploring the surrounding area.

Beach combing.

Hiking.

Kayaking.

A brief snorkle by the kids.

The views were beautiful.

We spent time at the pool,

lots of volleyball playing.

Lots of hanging out, lots of hot tub time.

The cousin crew.

The fam...all 17 of us.

Smoothies -- so many smoothies.

The kids tried all varieties and even 

got to make their own.

We had lots of good meals.

Max was in heaven having tacos

every-single-day.

Even for breakfast.
We got room service one morning,

which was definitely a treat.

Golf.

We played a family round of putt-putt.

Lots of laughs.

Uncle Dan and Jim played a legit round at a 

TCP course with some of the best view around.

We celebrated this little lady's 12th Birthday.

We went whale watching.

Saw so many orcas, right next to the boat.

They were so playful and engaging.

What beautiful creatures.

The highlight was seeing this majestic

blue whale. Nature is truly amazing.

Carmen was in full effect.

This is the Isla del Carmen.

And a very well named boat.

We paid tribute to Papa Son.

Love you dad.

Thanks, Loreto, for a truly memorable time.

Until next time!
