Mexico fun

So here are a few more adventures in Mexico. We went to a water park that was partially indoors, so it didn't matter that it wasn't that hot outside. There were only about 15 people in the whole park, so when we wanted to go on a ride, we just had them turn on the water for that ride. It was pretty nice not to have to worry so much about where our stuff was & where the kids were going since they were the only ones there!!

Here Ismael's getting his first driving lesson...

And here they are dancing to Dora the Explorer making "silly faces" to get past the grumpy old troll...

Another Zoo

After visiting cousins in KS, we headed to Mexico to visit. We even went to the zoo again. Here's Ismael with cousins Briana, Ximena & Tia Schere in front of a white tiger.



Ismael was also very excited to get to sit on yet another tractor & then he got to ride the horse up & down the street! I was actually quite impressed that he wasn't too scared to get on!

3 Little Monkeys

Three little monkeys playing at the zoo.... and trying to stay dry. It rained hippos & elephants while we were there, but the 3 monkeys didn't care.

We had a little better weather at Gage Park in Topeka. Ismael rode the train about 4-5 times, even though he would have gone more if we'd let him. He was talking about it for days how he went in the tunnel & on the bridge.

Ismael was too scared to pull the whistle when the conductor offered, but once he left his seat, Ismael ran up for his chance.

Tractor ridin'

Everytime we visit Grandpa, we have to ride on the tractor. Not just once either. Again. And again.... this was no exeption. This time, however, we rotated between the tractor and the motorcycle, over & over again.

This time he even got to ride the tractor tricycle that Travis & I rode a long time ago....

July 4th

July 4th we flew back to KS to visit for a week since we were no longer concerned about moving. We first spent a few hours with some friends in Kansas City & went to Parkville so Ismael & Victor could go on a few rides.

In the evening we met up with Gma Yaya & watched Beauty & the Beast in the Shawnee Mission park with fireworks afterwards. Ismael was asking to see more fireworks for about a week afterwards as he didn't quite understand that it's not an everyday occurence.
