We are here! Here! Once again, it's Christmas on the playa. First we wait a week for a regular campsite....
Then we go to work filling it up! Up goes the bug tent...put together the paddle board stand, nail down the mats, set up the outdoor kitchen...oh yes, and deal with the satellite internet connection.
A few days later and Campo Simpson is ready to enjoy!
Steve likes to cook outside and the propane oven and grill are just the right "appliances." Whatever mi chef wants...I'm for it...

| The outdoor kitchen is ready! |

Time for coffee and the ration of Costco biscoti!
|
We get out in the peddle kayaks right away. Sparky is always sure to be aboard when we cast off. He doesn't like being left behind. Ever. This includes on the paddle boards.

Wednesday night is movie night at JC's Restaurante up the road. Every week he fixes great pork carnitas and all the stuff to pile into the tortilla. Then comes the movie of the week.

| How about the first margarita of the season? |
December also means it's time for the beach party for the kids at the local "Children's Home" from town. This has been an anual tradition for the Coyote Beach folks for three years now. It's really fun to give the kids a swim and water toy party, then hot dog lunch and of course, there must be a piñata!

| Piñata time for Casa Hogar Kids! |
This year the kids sang a special song for us right before they loaded back up into the cars to go home. It was SO sweet. It's amazing to see how each of the kids have grown over the years.

| A little song for us! |
Oh yes, this year the parking lot "sculpture" coyote is one you can climb up and have a good photo op...or just sit down beside. Creator Bill says it's not finished yet....by a long shot. The goal is to have a great sculpture to set into a huge campfire at the end of the camping season. This nightr will also be used to "pass the basket" for donations to local charities.
