So here's a quick review on my last few days in the wonderful land of Mexico:
Monday during the day... well, I'll talk about that later. :)
Monday was Uncle Bill's birthday! We celebrated with dinner and Lilly made some dessert for the occasion.
The birthday boy receiving some birthday phone calls. That's Ben in the background. :)
I love being at the Schicks' house just hanging out. Even though I can't understand half of the conversation that's going on. :) I AM going to learn Spanish when I get home. There's no other time that I've felt so dumb than when I can't communicate with others. Seriously. Makes you realize what the Tower of Babel must've been like.
The Schick Fam
Tuesday morning I made Katie and I some breakfast burritos and brought them to Kate at work.... after trying to figure out the gas stove that is, which I had a little trouble with. :)
We went and got tortas for lunch... super good!!
Oh, and after lunch.. Katie chugged a bottle of cough medicine down. Not really, but she's been sick since Saturday night... poor girl. Monday we pretty much took naps and layed around all day because #1, katie was not feeling well at all, and #2, it was a rainy day... what else were we supposed to do?

UGH. I wanted to do something, but I honestly couldn't I felt so miserable... not with a cold and such though, but stomach stuff. :P I just sat around the cafe all day and drank lots of water and ate ice chips.
Katie decided to start some new artwork which kept me entertained.
That night Uncle Bill & Aunt Joan wanted Kate and I to come with them to go out to eat. I was feeling good enough to go, but not to eat anything. So I watched them all eat their amazing food while I sat there with my ice and water.
Schick family again.
Katie doesn't know how to take a normal picture. ;)
So darling... love you both!
We're all COUSINS now! :) They're hoping Julissa & Jazani's adoption will be finalized on Friday! At least that's what they're being told!
After a good nights rest and some breakfast I was feeling fine this morning.
He is seriously such a sweetie. He was so excited to go on a walk around the campus and see the animals.
We passed some boys working hard in the fields
I hung out at the kids house while I was waiting for Ben to get done. They had the pool and hose out trying to keep cool on a SUPER hot Mexico day.
Then we went out for Fish Tacos again! And now... I'm hanging out in the cafe, being a great sister/daughter and buying things for my family, and packing up my bags.

So I went out to CVE with Ben & Uriel and helped them mow. I pushed mowed around some of the houses. It felt so good to sweat and work.
Then I went up to the kids house and took Tadoa on a walk. Because he LOVES it.

So tata, Mexico.... until next year! (hopefully!) I'll miss you, and especially a lovely girl who lives there, miss Katie May!
It's been a great 9 days!!
