Baby's Dedication

While in El Salvador both my sister and I had our little girls dedicated by their Grandfather. It was a once in a life time experience!! It was so cool to be able to not only do it together but to be able to have our Dad do it! A cool little note, both girls are wearing gowns made from their paternal grandmother's wedding dresses.

Panajachel, Guatemala

So about four days after getting into El Salvador we left for Guatemala. That is our family's vacation spot. We grew up going there and I have a lot of childhood memories there. And speaking of my childhood we got to go with a family we grew up with. They are the Caminos. They are the closest thing we have to cousins in El Salvador. Not everyone could go but Manolo son and his girlfriend Astrid got to come along with his parents, Manolo and Vilma who are like my Aunt and Uncle. It has been a long time since we got to spend some quality time with them so that was nice. We did some shopping, played a little Crockett and a lot of board games. It was a nice relaxing time.

The Lake

So we got to go to Panajachel in Guatemala while in El Salvador. The small town in located on a crater lake. We took a boat ride around the lake and got to see the beautiful landscape! (Can't put too many pics up sorry) but another thing we got to do on the lake was kayaking. Well Todd and Chris went in one together I stayed with Reagan. But they had a blast. The first time they tried it was too windy and as you can tell both Todd and Jonathan were very disappointed!

Day at the Beach

The day after we got into El Salvador we got to go spend the day at the beach! It was so much fun and the weather was very nice! This was also Reagan's first time seeing and touching the ocean. She also got into a pool for the very first time. She didn't like how cold it was at first but she later came around to like it.

Christmas in El Salvador

This Christmas we all got to spend it in El Salvador with my side of the family. It has been 8 years since we have all been together for a Christmas. Reagan got to experience a lot of new things like flying, going to the beach, going to Guatemala, meeting family and she even got to be dedicated by her Grandpa! I will do a blog for each event so stay tuned...
