We made a short stop for one night in Mazatlán on our way back from Puerto Vallarta. It was about a 6 hour drive. We got there just in time to have supper while the sun set.
My Dad and Brother got sick when we left Puerto Vallarta, so we didn't get to do anything in Mazatlán. The next day we wanted to drive to Hermosillo, but because Tyler was sick, we had to stop in Culiacan to see the doctor and stayed a night there.
Last week we visited Puerto Vallarta. My grand parents and Auntie Amy met us there also.
We did some site-seeing around the town and shopping along the Puerto Vallarta Malecon.
I also tried a new experience where fish cleaned my feet. It tickled and felt funny, but my feet were sure smooth after.
The resort we stayed at had lots of nice pools. There was even a lazy river, which is a like a slow moving river that keeps going around in a circle. I could just lay on the tube and go around and around. :)
They had a neat laser/water show each night at one area of the resort. They used a mist of water in the middle of a pond as a screen and then projected a musical show on it while there was also other water and light dancing to the music. That was really neat to watch.
On another evening we went to a Mexican FIESTA at the resort. It had a buffet of all different types of Mexican food, and different Mexican entertainment. They also had some games on stage with a few volunteers from the audience. My mom and Jayden played one of the games and Jayden won!
There was also guy making balloon hats. He was fast and very creative.
It took us 8 hours to drive here from my brothers house in Hermosillo. Culiacan is a bit more humid then Hermosillo was. We stayed with our friends Ruben and Lolo.
But, would you believe, I was here 11 years ago when I was 2 years old.
I don't remember that, but my parents showed me these pictures of friends we met who made me a beautiful dress.
When we met those same friends again last week, they still remembered my name. It is kind of funny to have friends that I never met.
We escaped the cold and today I enjoyed a relaxing day on the Beach in Mexico! :)
It is a long drive from Spruce Grove, Alberta, to Mexico. We left at 1PM on Thursday, drove 32 hours straight through to Tucson. Then we stayed overnight in Tucson before driving another 4 hours to my brothers house in Hermosillo, Mexico.
I brought my Cat named Baby along with us too. She was such a good girl in the car for 2 days.
When we finally arrived in Hermosillo on Saturday, we went out for Tacos with my brother, Tyler and his wife, Jayden. Tyler and Jayden live here in Hermosillo. And I love the Tacos here!
I finally got to sleep on Saturday night.
Then on Sunday, Tyler gave the Public Talk at the Kingdom Hall in SPANISH! I didn't understand it but I am starting to learn a few words in Spanish.
Finally, today was Beach day! I have been waiting for this for a long time.
The Hua Hin Safari Park was the best place to get up and personal with the Tigers.
Look at this White Tiger - she is so beautiful and loves having me pet her.
And this baby white tiger is only 2 months old - she is so cute
And then there was this bigger tiger that was a little more dangerous, but just as beautiful
And the largest tiger was actually a Liger, which is half Tiger and half Lion. This guy was huge, but also very calm.

Krabi is a resort area further South in Thailand. We drove 8 hours from our house in Hua Hin straight south to a hotel in Krabi. Here we are on our first night at Krabi have supper on the beach while the sun set.
Krabi is known for it "Long-tail" boats. There are many small islands that these taxi boats took us to.
We toured the small islands near Krabi. The water was so clear we could see fish everywhere.
I also tried Paddle Boarding, and maybe it isn't my thing
Thailand is known for its Elephants. They used to use Elephants to do much of the work, but they don't use them to work anymore and now try to protect the Elephants. There are many Elephant sanctuaries where we can enjoy them in their natural habitat.
One day we went on an Elephant safari to try to find Elephants in the wild.
Along the way, we found some beautiful waterfalls in the national park
Then we went to an Elephant Foundation where they look after Elephants that need extra help. We got to walk the Elephants, feed them, and wash them. They are such beautiful animals.
While in a hot place, what better way to cool off then going to the water park with friends. I couldn't believe how much fun this water park was - much better then I expected.
