Raging Waves Waterpark

Yesterday we were at the Raging Waves water park for 8 hours!!!!!! From open until close. We went with our homeschool friends as a last hurrah before school starts. The scariest ride was the Boomerang. The favorite ride was the twisted sister. Dasch had fun in the wave pool. We all got alittle crispy despite the multiple applications of sunscreen. We slept like rocks and look forward to doing it again next year:o)

Downtown Chicago!

We had such a good time downtown. We went down there to see the air and water show practice. We hit the art institute first and followed that up with millenium park, Buckingham fountain, Navy Pier, a ferris wheel ride, a pirate show and the Lego store. And to top it all off we took Chicago city bus back to the train station. We walked about 5 miles and the kids did not want to leave. We will definately make this an annual outing.

DaschBoard

Yesterday...Dasch fell off the swing in the backyard onto a wagon. He came in crying and told me he had an "owie". I brushed it off telling him that it was ok. Then I saw the blood! I took all I had - to muster up courage to look for the cut. There it was! Off to the urgent care we went where he got 2 stitches. It took forever because he moved so much! I can't wait to take him back there to get them out:o(

Construction Update

August 9th. We just received the construction update from Javier. It looks like they are putting in the rebar to make the posts. It has to be hurrican proof:o) Tyler might go down this week to "check things out" with his limited spanish. Maybe he should take an imersion course.

VBS

3 Hours is way too long for Dasch at Bible school. I hope he does better today.

New Bacalar Pier & Sea Wall

We just got the pictures back from our new pier on Lake Bacalar. Bernadino did a good job. We are all excited to try it out in a couple of months.

Breaking ground in San Benito

We finally broke ground in San Benito. On July 27th the material was delivered to start the new beach house! This is a picture of the materials being delivered. And for those of you who want to visit - there will be a guest house:o)
