We arrived back in Colorado on Monday but enjoyed our last few days in Antigua. I must say that two weeks is not enough time. On Saturday we went to the Finca el Pilar for a beautiful hike with Maria's daughter and then headed to Maria's house for lunch. Eli and Kylee cooled off at Maria's place by playing in the water.

Chichi & Lake Atitilan
The last few days have been extremely busy. Thursday we made our way to Chicicastenango, a large open market with lots of textiles and about everything you can imagine. We needed at least two more hours there to explore. After leaving Chichi, we headed to Lake Atitlan. The lake was beautiful, especially with volcanoes as its backdrop. We took a boat to three of the villages that are located on the lake.

Iglesia de Cristo
It's 10:30pm and we leave for Lake Atitlan early in the morning so this will be short. I really just want to post a few pictures. The first is the sign at the church. Then there is a picture of the four members of the church that help with any good will work. Next is a photo of a couple women picking out clothes for their babies. Lastly, is an adorable picture of Maricruz's baby girl.

Kids, Kids, Kids
The time here is passing toooo fast, we only have 1 week left. With such little time we seem to be running all day long to fit it all in. We have however slowed down to eat and eat and eat at all the good resturants. Cafe Condesa's quiche, La Pena de Sol Latina's quesadillas, Dona Luisa's banana bread. Enough about food:)
/////////////////////////////////////
Since it is quickly approaching Easter, the Semana Santa festivities are starting. Yesterday we went to the kids processions. Grady got some good photos of the kids in the procession and I also took a few photos of our kids.

Tomorrow we have a special visitor coming by the house,
Dona Maria, our old nanny. She is a
very sweet lady and
was like a grandma to all the
kids in the house. We can't wait to see her.

Next week we get to have the clothes distribution at the Iglesia de Cristo and we are taking a trip to Lake Atitlan.
We also hope to visit the Kairos Christian School.
