"Vengan a ver mi rancho que es hermoso..."

Here are the promised pictures!
The ranch is in a beautiful, secluded location. After an afternoon storm, we were blessed to see this rainbow over the mountians.

Franc holds some of the hail from the storm that pummeled the area. (For about five minutes I was definitely nervous in thinking about planning activities for some very wound up children if all we had was rain.)

Pollito is ready to swim

Gloria is also ready to hit the pool.

The kids all waited in line to shower before they could swim.


Candi was not so sure about the idea of "floaties" but after enough hours in the water, she loved it!

The kids played with bubbles for hours.


David and Joel launched Angel through the air. The kids loved it!
Contrary to this picture, Blanca did enjoy swimming. :)
José shows off the huge centipede they caught.
Fede floats through the pool, first robbing the little kids of the floation devices.
Pepe and Paola were the last two competitors in our game of "Chubby Bunny."
Magda hurries to shoot a basket during a huge game of knockout.
Yaneli sits on David's guitar as she waits to board the bus to return to CVE

On our way home, we were again blessed to see a beautiful rainbow going before us!

We had a great trip. Thanks for your prayers. We returned home with only sunburns, a few scrapes and many wonderful memories.
