4 New Posts and Guatemala!

Craig served his mission in Guatemala and last
fall we found a great deal to go back. We were
all pretty nervous but it turned out just great.
This is the day that we got there after flying all
night.
Our Hotel room in Guatemala City, one of the nicer
hotels there (thank goodness).
We went to Antigua. We had a walking tour of
the little city. It was Beautiful. You couldn't drink
water any where so we went through tons of bottled
water. Liz and Andy were able to go with us.
Craig on one of the Cobblestone Streets of Antigua.
We stay in this little hotel in Chichicastenago it made
us feel like we were camping. They barely had running
water.
A view of the little shops being set up Sunday
Market.
All the Mayan's out on the streets selling
the goods that they had made. We had a great
time moving through all the people trying
to barter and find our souvenirs.
A very colorful above ground Cemetery.
We found an LDS Church in Panajachel. We
were so excited.
Lake Atitlan. Isn't it beautiful.
We were able to go visit the Ruins at Tikal. We
loved it. It was super hot that day and there
was tons of walking so we were extremely dead
by the end of the day but are really glad we went.
The Jungle and the Mayan Temples at Tikal.
One of Craig's area's from the Mission.
When Craig was there on his mission
he and his companion stayed with this
cute little old lady. She happens to still
live there and we were able to go and visit
and see where Craig lived.
Leaving our Hotel to come home. We had a great
time, everything was very interesting. Scary sometimes
but everything went very well. We were glad we went but
were also glad to come home to see Lincoln. Thanks
Liz and Andy for going with us and Thanks mom and
dad for taking good care of Lincoln. That made going much
easier.

How Fun! You guys are quite the travelin' family! I'm jealous, it's been a while for us! You are looking cutier than ever, hope you are feeling good!

I loved Lincoln's b-day cake. You are talented. If I tried that it wouldn't look like Mickey Mouse.

I miss you guys! Tell me again why you had to move?!
