For Christmas this year we went as a family to Guatemala to visit my parents. The kids and I went for 15 days, and Chris joined us for 9 of them. It was SOOOO much fun! My sister Emily and her family and my brother Ben and his family came as well. We went on lots of trips all around and made many unforgettable memories. All the kids got along great and had so much fun with their cousins they don't get to see as frequently. The people in Guatemala are so loving and kind, it was infectous. And the weather, well you can't beat it. 70's for a hi and 50's for a low year-round. Thanks, Mom and Dad for the trip of a lifetime! We miss you already!
The day after we got there we went to the large local market downtown. It was a bit of an eye-opener for the kids!
Chris was tempted to buy these pants. I talked him out of it. :)
One day we went to a fun park with some great climbing trees and a little carnival next door before heading over to the giant 3D relief map of all of Guatemala.
Then another day we went to the zoo. We also went to a big amusement park with a fun zoo and dinosaur park attached to it. Fun times!
One day before church.

What an amazing trip! How fun to experience that all together.
that looks like a lot of fun! I'm sure it was nice to spend Christmas with your parents.
What a cool experience! And I think you were super brave to travel one of the legs solo!
What a wonderful Christmas it was having you all here in Guate with us. We miss you sooooo much! Come again SOON!
How fun! I so wish we could have all been together. Can't wait until the Christmas we all are again.
Hey - would you mind e-mailing me the name and phone number if you've got it of the dance studio you send your girls too again? thanks!
