the rest of February

When we finally got back from the capital city we stayed at the guest house for a few days until we flew back home.

One of the other families staying there had a birthday party for their middle school aged son.  They let our kids use their home made slip n slide when they were done.  The kids had a blast (and their fathers did too:)

Raquel does not like to keep pony tails or braids in her hair so we decided to go short.  Our friend Bri did a great job cutting it.

The day we were supposed to fly home the pilot got sick so we had to wait an extra day.  We drove to another city that has a movie theater (the only one on the island I believe) and watched the Turkey movie.  It was pretty silly but the kids had fun.  On the way back we stopped off at what we lovingly refer to as "the garbage beach".

It's actually really sad because it would be a beautiful place, but is just full of trash that people just throw all over the place.  Not a garbage can in sight. On the plus side, in all that garbage each of the kids was able to find a plastic spoon to dig with in the sand.
