Welcome Nick!



My nephew Nick came to stay with us for a month. He was able to come with me to Tabacal several times and help me with the construction of 4 homes.

During July we finally ate "the Duck". For those of you who remember, I was given a live duck as a gift from the pastor in Zapote. TKO bit and killed the duck and I cleaned it and put it in the freezer. Here is the girls going their "duck dance" because they were sooo excited to finally eat the duck.

Nick was excited because after dinner we let him dye his hair blue... with food coloring!

We had lots of fun with Nick. He was a big help for me with work and we were able to go several places. After our busy time building in Pastores my schedule freed up so we took a trip to the waterpark Xocomil at Irtra (the guatemalan Disneyland). It was amazingly fun!

There was a huge waterslide for the family there where we all could get in a giant raft and go down the slide together. The kids were terrified at first but they all loved it once we were down. Well everyone loved it but Anzo. It took a couple times before he was excited to go again. We were able to stay a couple nights right there on site. It was like going to Disneyland and staying at the Disneyland hotel. The park was probably the nicest water park I have ever seen! Unfortunately I wasn't able to take many pictures but it was a "water" park.

Not even the afternoon rains could dampen the kids fun. The day we went to the water park we stayed right to closing. Heather and I even still went on a couple slides after it started pouring rain.

A day at "the lake"...


During a project trip to Pixebaj the family stayed in Chichicastenango with friends and the week culminated in a nights stay at Lake Atitlan. I find this lake to be the most beautiful place on earth. It was nice to have a days vacation even if it still was associated with work.

The kids love playing in the lake
