Our Beach House

Every other year during spring break, the Skousens go on a big vacation to Rocky Point, Mexico. We usually rent a beach house and stay there for a few days. Some of the activities we've done in the past include getting our hair done in cornrows, swimming, going on a banana boat, and celebrated holidays like St. Patrick's Day and Easter. It's always so much fun! This year will be our third year going, and we are all SO excited!



A couple of weeks ago, my dad got the opportunity to go with my Grandma and Grandpa Skousen down to Rocky Point to rent out the beach house that we'll be staying in! It was his birthday, and it was nice for him to get off work and go to Mexico. Here are a few pictures of the beach house they got. My grandpa took the pictures, and he didn't take one of the house from the front, so I'm just going to show you some pictures of parts of it.

This is the main room. This picture was taken on the stairs.

Another picture of the main room. Notice the statue in the corner. We're gonna half to get a sheet and give it a toga or something. :-)

The court yard.

The gorgeous view.

Nice shot of my dad, huh?! :-)

It's Official ... I LOVE Picnik!

So, about 2 months ago, my cousin, Kassidi, introduced me to picnik.com. It's just about the BEST photo-editing program EVER!!! Picnik is pretty much everything I do in my spare time and I highly suggest it. Here are a few of the experiments I've done.

Superbowl Sunday

Superbowl weekend was a whole lot of fun, despite the outcome of the game! Our family went to Chino Valley at my Uncle Curt and Aunt Jeannine's house to watch the big game. While we were there, we played with cousins and chatted. My personal favorite activity was playing Rockband. They have drums, guitar, and singing. It was so much fun! My favorite song to sing was Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. It would have been the PERFECT weekend if the Cardinals' hadn't lost!
