On Sept 14 we headed to San Luis, MX to visit Milton's uncles as well as celebrate the Mexican Independence Day. Ayla did really good on all four flights (we had a layover in Phoenix).
Phoenix is a very kid friendly airport! There were play areas in most of the boarding areas and when Ayla started to fuss one of the airline workers brought over a bag of crackers for her.
We arrived in Yuma and Milton's uncle Chaviez picked took us to San Luis, AZ where he has his main home and then onto San Luis, MX to his second home (which are only about 2 miles apart from eachother). Tio Chaviez works as a Pediatrician in Mexico and his wife, Blanca works as a nurse and a lawyer. Their two kids, Jessica and Sal go to school in San Luis, AZ.I know what most of you are thinking! Where is Ayla's car seat? Well, it was in Tio Chaviez car and in MX kids don't even know what carseats are. Ayla was very proud to be strapped in like everyone else.
The first morning we were there we hit the good food first thing with Tio Jaime.
Ayla LOVED the plate of carne and ate it all each time we went.
We had our own guest room in the back of the house, which looked exactly like a motel room (bed, couch, tv and bathroom). It was a perfect and comfortable visit!

Milton's cousin Veronica that is currently going to college in Yuma.
After having lunch with Veronica we went to an infamous Prison in Yuma.
Can you imagine being locked in these cells in 115 degree weather?!
Tio Chaviez was the perfect host and made sure we had such a good time!
Ayla was so thirsty! The heat really took it out of all of us!
That night we hung out at Tio Chaviez AZ home. Ayla had them all wrapped around her little finger!
I couldn't keep Ayla out of Sal's or Jessica's rooms. She would always go looking for them and they were so good to play with her.
On our way to eat some more good food in Mexicali. Tia Blanca, Sal, Ayla & me.
Family Pic!
We even got to take Ayla to the beach for the first time! The Gulf of Santa Clara is only about 1 1/2 hours away from San Luis. The water and beach were perfect!
Jessica, Tio Jaime, Tio Chaviez and Sal comparing their diving finds.
Ayla showing off one of her seashells.
Ayla had no fear of the water! We couldn't turn our backs for a second or else she was off heading straight into the water.
She is a true beach bum and was absolutely exhausted once the day was through.
Ayla insisted that she hold onto their dog, Tika while we were waiting for Tia to pick us up at the border.
