With the baby, we have found that we need to get out of the house and property more than ever. We have a sort of routine where we stay in one day and go for a drive the next. Sometimes it’s every two days or so, but we like to get out so we don’t feel like all we do is work around the property and take care of the little guy. This last week we did some explorations around the Joyuda area. Joyuda is between Mayaguez and Cabo Rojo. We take the cool backroad of 102 to have an ocean drive. We made it back to one of our favorite spots: Punta Ostiones also know as La Playita.

Me and Aeden in one of the coves -he loves to kick the water!
Noni fruit growing wild -edible and medicinal but very yucky tasting!
Hermit crab on shucked coconuts
Exploring through the Ostiones trails of coconuts and mangroves
We also briefly checked out a cool abandoned juvenile detention center that is now a mountain bike riding course. It was cool in a spooky way. Then we went back another day with friends and explored more.
When we stumbled upon an old abandoned church that is being reclaimed by the jungle!
Creepy hallways of the old buildings -now used to play “Gotcha” or paintball

We’re off again! Grab the kid! Firewoman carry! 🙂

Aeden can keep his head up now which makes walking with him easier

Creepy hallways! “We’re watching!”

I did another photoshoot with Laura there. I can’t wait to see her results!
Later we stopped by the Gato Negro right on the water in Joyuda and watched the birds and tarpon fighting over fish scraps
