Here is a look at some of our family activities during the month of August.
We began the month having a meal with friends. Several between us were having birthdays so we celebrated everyone at one time. We had not seen this family since mid-June so it was great to catch up in person.
A video of us celebrating David's 50th birthday earlier that week.
We had two visits from the Waldraffs in August. Their baby girls are precious!!
David and I squeezed in a few coffee and dessert dates.
We had a family game night and played The Game. It's a card game that our June mission team brought us. It was fun.
Cruz did some cooking. Here he made egg in the hole. You can watch him make it on the video below.
We made a weekend trip to Quetzaltenango to visit our IMB mission family. Here we are enjoying a meal with the Stones at Cardinali, which is a wonderful Italian restaurant there.

Here is a video of Ben's field trip. The elementary went to the Guatemala Children's Museum. Another parent took some videos and shared them with me.
So what did we do while our boys were off on a field trip? We enjoyed a very relaxing breakfast date at Finca San Cayentano. The food was delicious and the volcano views were fabulous.
As we sat and ate we could see Fuego constantly erupting. It was cool to watch!
We began the new school year.
Cruz during a recent Science class doing an experiment. Below are a few videos of him doing Science experiments during August.
This semester Cruz is taking a theater class here in Antigua. They will perform a play in late November and he got the part of Prince Jodrel. He is excited about getting to perform.
He is taking the class through the Guatemala Academy of Performing Arts.
At the end of the month we had a farewell gathering for the Waldraffs. They are transferring to another country of service. We are going to miss their sweet family.
We met for lunch in Guatemala City.

For most of my boys' lives they have been the only IMB MK's in Guatemala. It is so nice to have other kids around especially at gatherings like this.

Showing what it's really like when we all get together. What a fun group we get to serve with!
