A few pictures to catch up a little on the little man.

winter to spring 2011

A few adorable pictures of our boy. He is a great source of entertainment and seems to find things to get into and do that are quite amusing.



We built this play structure for Samuel and he loves to climb all over it. Of course it also taught him how to climb just about anything.

One of two hail storms we had this year.

I was putting all the change into the large jug and Samuel wanted to help so I decided to give him the job. He started out alright but by the end he had scattered more coins then he had in the jar. I didn't get a final picture of his mess.

Samuel loves to help us out with what ever we are doing.

Mexico Part 4, the rest of the trip

Quinton's parents joined us for the last half of our trip. We shared some fun adventures with them including being dropped off in the middle of no-where to see a cave. We drug them all over and they were great troopers.

We loved the hammocks in Mexico!



Bobbing in a "cenote," an underground pool. Very refreshing, cenotes are the Yucatan's only source of water.



Quinton tries to play the saw.

A local food court.


Indians used to descend the ladder to get water.

A street in Campeche.

Mexico part 3 Pelinque

Taking the over night bus we arrived in Pelinque at 6:30 am. Despite not getting much sleep we checked into our hostel and headed off to see the ruins. These were some of the best ruins of all the ones we saw.

Our second day there we took a tour and were able to see two waterfalls, both very impressive and beautiful.

Locals selling bananas on the road, they actually strung a rope across the road so we would have to stop.



Our favorite place we stayed in Mexico. It was like a resort for backpackers.

The accommodations were "huts" scattered through the jungle connected by narrow winding paths. Our room was upstairs.
