The Kennys Conquer Guatemala

For Spring Break (March 18-24), Mom and Dad Kenny visited us from their hometown, Neosho, Missouri. We had been beyond excited to have their company, as they are our parents, our first visitors, and relatives with BIRTHDAY PRESENTS! :)

We picked them up with all their luggage from the airport, and went home for a typical Guatemalan lunch (corn tortillas, guacamole, refried beans, and dorito-like chips) and opened presents. It was so nice to get some new clothing! Clothes that are not available in size / length here. Not only that, but James and I both gave up chocolate for Lent this year, and our parents brought us plenty to eat once the fasting is over. It was a major sacrifice this year!

After lunch and a bit of repacking, we headed off for a visit to my school, and then drove to Antigua for the next two days.

Beautiful flowering plant and tree from my school, CAG.
It's only March!

The pictures from your school look amazing. Things are starting to bloom here now, too finally.
