Feliz Cumpleanos Leo!

More catch up like usual - but anyway here goes. Right before Alaska I headed to Mexico for a Kaiizen trip which was nice and small with a group of people that are great. I loved everything from the traditional drive, seeing the kids, staying at the beach house for my first time, and just being back in Mexico.

Some of the highlights:

1) Josh buying the new Double Chicken Sandwich or something from KFC, which is like cheese and bacon between two huge pieces of chicken (gross) AND then making everyone try at least one bite to get back into the car!

2) Getting to the beach house and Josh "surpervising" the rest of us weed his personal house! (J/K he helped a little bit himself and it went pretty fast for the "forrest we found).

3) Tacos, tacos, and more tacos at our favorite stands!

The RV behind me makes great tacos!

4) Having the kids do a fund run and meeting two of the newest kids like "cousin amigo" - (we have a volunteer bring down her 5 yr. old son who watches Dora the Explorer so that's what he calls Iban!)

Cousin Amigo - Iban and the Group photo

5) The kids "surprising" by having us fill drained eggs shells with confetti and flour and having an all out war - some of these left welts (and I'm pretty sure Josh instigated a huddle before and said "I don't care if they're kids, take no mercy!")

The Calm and The Storm

Sarah takes no mercy!

Calling finish (he got hit right in the face 3 sec later)

Oh yeah we got to clean up everything too - surprise!

6) Just being silly with the kids


7) Leo's birthday party where we had great food - fun games (the Americans vs. the Mexicans and we won the first one so we got to paint their faces with charcol)

Leo making his way to the surprise (I'm pretty sure the boys just hit him in the nuts right before this picture - happy birthday to you!)

We love it when we win!

The hugging game - group of 3 (down to the finals)

It was such a great trip and it's always so nice to have a weekend surrounded by great people.
