| Kadito found two more friends! They played for over an hour, running around with "Bebe" the chihuahua puppy, sharing toys, climbing things, pushing me in a hammock, etc. |

| Yum! After you drink the coconut water from a young coconut, you can eat the coconut on the insde. It's softer and slimier than mature coconut and tastes great, especially with a bit of chile sprinkled on it. Kadito doesn't like the coconut water but he actually liked the coconut with chile. This is his first time starting to like a little bit of spice to his foods. |
On a side note, with no picture to document it, Kadito found an open bag of Flamin Hot Cheetos on the beach with a few Cheetos still in it and he started to eat them before I could say anything (either about it being "trash" or it being spicy!). So, I let him eat them, figuring they'd be way too spicy for him, and he LOVED them. Must have been the MSG.
Oh, and here's the ingredient list so you see why I don't normally give him these things:
Enriched Corn Meal (Corn Meal, Ferrous
Sulfate, Niacin, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid),
Vegetable Oil (Contains One or More of the Following: Corn, Soybean
or Sunflower Oil), flamin hot seasoning (Maltodextrin, salt, Sugar,
Monosodium Glutamate, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Citric Acid,
Artificial Color (Including Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 6,
Yellow 5), Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oil,
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Cheddar Cheese (Cultured Milk, Salt,
Enzymes), Whey, Onion Powder, Whey Protein Concentrate, Corn Syrup
Solids, Natural Flavor, Buttermilk, Garlic Powder, Disodium
Phosphate, Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Caseinate, Lactic acid, disodium
inosinate, disodium guanylate, nonfat milk, Sodium Citrate,
Carrageenan) , salt.

| This was hysterical. We met a nice woman visiting from another part of Mexico who agreed to take our picture. I have 6 pictures with various poses of me trying to get him to face the camera. Ridiculous! But at least it was silly and fun and he was laughing instead of actually pouting like he usually does. The woman said she was watching me earlier and thought I looked like the epitome of a woman thoroughly enjoying motherhood. ❤️ |

| Afterwards, we played chase around the letters with me trying to catch him in a photo. |

That same afternoon, we took an afternoon stroll along the beach by our camp and encountered two kids by the pier.
One, the girl pictured, was a French Canadian girl who didn't speak English.
The other was a local boy. He's the one who thought of the great idea to bring a broken beach chair into the water to play on. Unfortunately, soon after, his father or grandfather showed up, furious that he had wandered down the beach all by himself!! |

| Our one fully rainy day. We went on a bike ride, got completely soaked, and then played in all the puddles along the Malecón. All of the benches were painted – this one had the characters from the Jungle Book. |
