Belize
February 23, 2013-Day 1
What a whirl wind of a day! And we are here so everything must have gone well. I’m now sitting in our hotel room
watching my boys flip through the channels on the television.
It started this morning at 3! Well really it started last night when at 11pm I started to
get a migraine. So all my plans of
staying up late to get stuff done flew out the window. I was bummed but my body needed rest. So I hit the sheets at 11, Mike
followed at 1. We woke up at 3
(with my migraine still roaring so I was pretty drugged) and started our
journey. We had 3 flights that
brought us here. Boise to Denver
to Houston to Belize City. All
flights went well When we landed
in Denver we only had 20 minutes to get from one gate to the next (a last minute snow storm in Boise left the plane needing some de-icing). We made it with 9 minutes to spare and
asked if we could run to get a bite to eat. Seth and I ran back to a little Café where we soon realized
that I had left my wallet back at the gate with Mike. So cute little seth ran his little heart out so that we
could have scones for breakfaat. .
It was super bumpy from Denver to Houston. Houston was a little slower
for us than Dallas and we had time to sit down and relax while we ate some
lunch.
We got into Belize and it was so warm and delicious on my
skin. I actually love the humidity. Boise is so dry that my skin literally
soaked it in. We walked out of the
plane right onto the runway. We
looked up on top of the airport and there they were! Mom and Dad were waving to us. I instantly whipped out my camera and took a picture and
then noticed them waving their arms at me to put my camera away. One of the workers just said “no
cameras or cell phones” oops, well
at least I got the shot! We went
through customs and met them out side the airport. They greeted us with a pink sign that said “Welcome Seth & Parents” It was so
cute! We hugged and hugged some
more. Then we got to the car and
took a 2 hour drive back to San Ignacio where they are living. Its beautiful here. The people are so poor but they live in
such a beautiful place. They brought us to our hotel. We unloaded then headed to their place. We met with some of their friends who
are also temporary missionaries here and we went to dinner at a cute little
diner called Munchies. They say it
is their favorite place to eat.
The waiter and store owner (the same man) kept referring to Seth as “the
master” It was so cute. He is friends with mom and dad.
I almost forgot what I know will end up being the highlight
of Seths trip. Grandpa let Seth
take a ride in the back of the pickup.
We’ve all done it growing up so I was excited to give Seth the chance to
experience it. Well he took it to
the extreme. Now he wants to ride
in the back every time we get in the car!
Mom and I got back there a bit with him too. I really want this trip to be something he will always
remember. I took a picture of
Granny and Seth standing up in the back of the truck holding onto the bar on
the back (they only did that on the road up to the hotel!!) we’ll see if I can ever get him back
inside the cab!
We are so excited to see what each day of our trip
brings. Hopefully I can keep up
with blogging it as we go!
we loved what the bottom of this van said "HI DO NOT KISS ME PLEASE"
