Guatemala Visit

Gavin and I were able to go visit my parents in Guatemala for 5 days for the first time since they moved there back in August. I loved having that alone time with them and finally being able to see where they live! The weather there is perfect - hi's in the 70's and lo's in the 50's year round. We were able to do some little road trips as well, which was fun (and Gavin made rather interesting at times). I have learned that he's not much of a traveler, but it was 3 adults to 1 kid the whole time, so definitely manageable. Thanks Chris and Lauren for all your help with the 3 older kids!

Here we are in Lake Atitlan. The volcanoes in the background were beautiful and the grounds at the hotel were just as pretty as can be.
 

 

My dad and I hiked up the mountain and did the 9 zip lines down while my mom stayed back with Gavers. SO much fun!
 

I also loved Antigua with their cobblestone streets and colorful homes and shops. Here we are shopping at the local markets.
