Ax has taken to solids very quickly!We are driving to the city of Tampico. Hopefully we can find an easy connection to the internet. Last time we had to sit in the car, sweating profusely, trying to use a weak signal from some local casa. They say Tampico has a Sam’s Club and Wal-Mart and even Baskin Robins. I’m soooo stoked!
Over the last few days, I feel like our kids are at the best summer camp getting to experience things they will remember forever. Don and Ginger Smith were having a ranch party for their friends with whom they do business on Sunday. We were invited. I can only say that from now on, I call their porch “The Resort”. Our kids joined some other Mexican kids in helping the maids make fresh hugo de naranja from the orange trees next to the house. We had our fill of cold drinks from the four coolers full of ICE! Don and Ginger introduced us to everyone as if we were honored guests. One of their guests left their eleven year old son to stay at Rancho del Rayo for a few days. Raulito and Smith rode horses and went fishing and swimming until his dad came back. Miss Ginger told Smith that the horse, Abogado, is his for the duration of his stay.
While Jon and Zaisy made tortillas, Smith went with Ginger and her guests on a two hour ride. The little boys and I watched Veggie Tales and Davis peed in the grass. It’s a fun life we lead.
Well, we love you all! Thanks for supporting us so much! We couldn’t be here without you!

So proud of you Rachel Bagel Nagel. You're such a good help-mate and mother. I'm sorry to say though, I really need another pedicure. Take care of yourself so you have the strength to take care of all the others. Love you much. your Mama Nagel
Smith,
How fun to be a cowboy! Love you all...
Uncle Dave, Aunt Christina and kids...
SO good to hear from you and see all the fun pictures. Tell Zaisy that Charley likes her new hairdo.
Love you!!! Look forward to hearing from you again!
The Rogers...
P.S. Water that tastes like potatoes????????????????
I LOVE the pictures!!! I am so glad that you guys are having such a great time. When I was a kid, I always wanted to live on a ranch with horses. :o) What a blessing! Love you guys!
PS..I am sure that Davis LOVED peeing in the grass. Boys will be boys. :o)
Don't you just love the change from dry comfortable CO weather, to hot tropical weather? Takes the body a little getting used to. :) You're right, you and your kids are making memories they will never forget! Enjoy!!
