May 2023

 We had a great month with birthdays and visitors! Mark's brothers, Matthew and Benj came to visit.

We took lots of group shots!

We all went rappelling and spent the night there in the beautiful mountains. :)

We also went to a cacao museum

We didn't like the cacao tea as much...

We took a trip to San Bartholomew and got to see some cool guitar makers and have lunch with a friend of Matt's from his mission.

Emmett came in with a big cut in his foot right before we left for church! We got him stitched up, but of course he didn't like that and tore it out. We were able to keep the bandage on so it healed ok.
