IXTAPA 2009

Donkeys of San Miguel

Charles and I went to San Miguel and Dolores Hidalgo for shopping and to walk around. We were able to find some tile for our end table set that we had a guy build. It will be so awesome when we are done with it. It was a beautiful day but there is nothing like passing a team of donkeys along the way in the city.

Bowling Anyone?

We had a fun Family Bowling Time. Everyone did very well. Zachary would NOT let us help him. A couple people could bowl in the time it took his ball to roll down the lane.

After bowling we went to San Miguel. These are some of the alters they put together for their "Day of the Dead" which they celebrate November 1st and 2nd. We had trick-o-treaters from October 30th to November 2nd.

Halloween 2009

Wow, another Halloween in Mexico. This year they had the costume parades at school then in the evening our club had a party for the kids. At the party we had a magician, piñata, and the best part, a chocolate fountain. They had lots of fun. Later after the party Holly dumped dry ice into her pool. That was really interesting to watch. It was a great Halloween.

Talent Show

The Stake had a super Saturday for the youth. In the evening they had a talent show followed by a dance. One of the young women who could not be there that night taught the girls a Hawaiian dance. They made their own skirts, pompoms, and grass anklets. The DJ started the music too soon so at the end of the performances they were asked to do it one more time. The girl 3rd from the left won 2nd place in the dance contest. They did a wonderful job and had lots of fun.

Trolley Ride with INCQ

I took Marissa and Rachel with me on a trolley tour with the club. It was interesting to hear Thomas' stories and history of Queretaro. We have lots of friends in the group and enjoyed the outing.

The Zman

I walked into the front room and all the kids are watching TV but Zachary. I ask what happen? Did he fall down? They laughed and said he had just laid the chair down and then fell asleep.

Doesn't it look like he fell over?

Zachary's great work of art.

INCQ Welcome Back Party

This was the welcome back party in September for the International Newcomers Club. Our kids had lots of fun. This year my friend Holly is the President and I am the Vice President. We have a great committee and are planning lots of fun activities for the year.
