Monday was another beautiful sunny day in San Felipe, Mexico. Steve and Diana wanted a day by themselves and we wanted an Opah/Omy day with the boys so it was a done deal. They took off early in the morning for a breakfast out and a day of hiking and exploring the beach and desert south of San Felipe. We had breakfast with the boys and then headed downtown. Our first stop was the ice cream store. Casey had fallen asleep by the time we reached down town so he missed the first bowl. Ryder ordered a bowl of bubblegum flavor, the rest of us had a bowl of coconut and every one was happy with their choices.
Our next stop was a taco shop for lunch. You may have noticed we have our priorities in order. Life is short, have dessert first. At the taco shop, we were the first customers of the day. So after we placed our order, the proprietor sent her son out to buy fresh corn tortillas to make the tacos. Ryder ate two beef, Phelan had beans and rice along with Marlene, I had 3 fish tacos, and Casey ate some of everyone's order. After lunch, we played on the beach and headed back to the beach house. A neighbor had given the boys a kite he found in the desert. Appearantly someone had let loose of the string, the kite flew away and finally hooked on a cactus. The neigbor retrieved it and gave it to the boys. Ryder got it into the air on his first try.
The next morning the "big" boys set out on an ATV adventure. The same neighbor that gave the boys the kite also had 2 ATVs that he let Steve borrow. With Ryder in back of me and Phelan riding with Steve, we set out for a couple of hours in the desert.
At the end of the ride Ryder said to me, "This was more fun than Legoland". Now that's really something. He loves legos. After the ride and warm shower to knock off the dust, Marlene and I said our teary goodbyes and headed back to the boarder at Mexicali. It was hard to leave. We sure enjoyed spending time with their family 
It us a couple of hours to drive back to Mexicali. Than an hour extra to stop for lunch at a roadside restaurant we discovered on the way down. We reached the boarder at about 3;00pm and it took us 45 minutes to make the crossing. The line was 3 lanes wide and about 1/2 mile long. We had no problems crossing. The inspection was minimal. We retrieved our coach from storage with no problem, boondocked that night in a Wal Mart parking lot next to a Costco, did some shopping and headed for Borrego Springs, Calif., the next morning. We arrived to find the spot near our earth oven open. The oven as you can see is still in good shape. Another layer of clay will put it back in baking condition.
The only problem I can see is that is that a small lizzard has taken up occupancy. I'm hoping he will move out when I start adding more clay to the outside.
