Cabo, the sexEd vacation location | Klutch Photograhy | Vancouver family photographer

Half naked girls -check, drunk people everywhere-check and cock'n balls pot pipe for sale-check and that's not even the half of it!

Welcome to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico at spring break!

If you haven't talked to your kids about anything to do with sex, drugs and general body parts I would suggest you stay OUT of Cabo! Unless you enjoy lying, distracting your kids and changing the topic AAAAALOT. 

I do have to say tho, it does open some great conversations about young adult behaviour, what's appropriate young adult behaviour and WHATS NOT. Like giving your underwear to a bartender to hang up in the bar is never the right choice- ever!  And why they don't have male underwear hanging?? Sexist much! Or dancing in the cage with a short skirt, that too is not wise. What's Viagra and why people use it.  If you have been to Cabo, all of these conversations will make perfect cense to you!

My kids, never seem to be  traumatized...is this good or bad? Perhaps Dina's sexEd class's?! Could you imagine, bahahaha! People who know me well will get a chuckle at the thought of that! "Ok kids, lets start with the word FUCK, it's not just a swear....lol!

We loved their local supermarkets with their unusual products, unrefrigerated eggs, no covered counters for baked goods or fish; it's a different world. Now the cheap gin & tonic canned beverages might be my reason No.1 for my visit & love of their local supermarket but the mouse I saw running around I could do without!  Also, remember that stops signs are just a suggestion when driving in Cabo (more so for the locals) and not to mention how hard these people work to make a living, truly impressive! Such kind and fun people really, even the bar promoters for the Pink Kitty (and every other bar on the strip) were trying to get us to come into the bar for a drink as a family for some "family time". lol.

All and all, it was a perfect mix of SexEd, burnt flesh, family time, meeting new friends and hanging out with old ones and a lot of laughter!   And btw, we never ever felt unsafe!

Viva Mexico!!

I'm running through the internet naked,come join me! | Klutch Photography | Vancouver family photographer

I can post pictures no problem; I'm comfortable, it's my wheelhouse, it's my profession...I love it! I know what is technically on point and what is not and I can own it either way.  Photography is and will always be my safe place after ten years of practice. It will always be my No.1!

Sharing my Paintings, on the other hand, I might as well be naked running through the internet screaming I'm over 40, look at how my ass resembles hound dog jowls! FUCKING NIGHTMARE, RIGHT. 

This is how hard it is to show my work right now. BUT I still will because I'm in love with watercolour at the moment.  It's not the best work out there, and it's not the worst either, I want to let people know its ok to be vulnerable.  I'm vulnerable, aren't we all, really!? It's ok to be scared and DO IT ANYWAY!  

Where this journey will take me, I'm not sure. I was just hoping that you all try something that scares you a little, share it or not but take a chance and see where it leads. We've got his one life don't sit in fear of what others will think, don't have regrets about never trying something that interests you.

If it makes you happy come and run naked with me through the internet maybe it's your saggy boobs or droopy balls that you're screaming about!

Journal Entry No.39 | Klutch Photography| Vancouver family photographer

" I want to make some money for candy!" says as my youngest as she storms into our room at 7:15 am in the morning bolting open the door.

My first thought is WHY THE FUCK are you awake right now on a Saturday morning?  I almost always have to wake you for school each morning to get you there on time. Seriously child!?

"I will shovel the snow for 18 dollars, deal?" she's quite confident and was almost telling me as a matter a fact!

"Bahahaha, Ahh... NO!" I reply like I'm bartering with a street vendor in Mexico. "5 dollars, take it or leave it"!

"Fine, but that's not going to buy me enough candy!" as she jumps into my arms in bed.

Here's the thing, I don't pay for chores. They make their beds, clean bathrooms, vacuum, dishwasher, garbage etc. and it's all part of life without being paid for it!  Helping out allows them to enjoy the OTHER amazing things that we provide for them, like going to Mexico this spring break (hence why she wants some cash to buy candy for the flight). Doing life chores that are skills they will need to have as an adult should not be "paid" to accomplish. 

But I will pay you for "other chores" such as picking up other peoples inconsiderate dog poopings left on our lawn!  And, in this case, shovelling snow! I also pay for grades because, for me, this is your real job for the next 10+ years. 

Hard work never hurt anyone and I love her spirit to make money because she's also asked to remove the poop for cash! YUK but good for you here's the gloves and a shovel, go make that poop rain on the street! I feel this is a character trait that not many kids have these days, a willingness to do the job, good old fashion grit. So I was proud of the high price initial offer and the will to get it done!  I might tip her with a little extra for her entrepreneurial spirit!
