Thursday in GC

Dave and Savannah went on a climb of the Pacaya volcano and Savannah's shoes melted. They had a great time and said it was incredible seeing and feeling the activity. So cool!

Christy, Ed, Lucy, Gabi and I all hung out at the hotel. Since it's Holy Week, there is a lot going on at the Marriott. I've actually never seen so many people here. I'm so used to it being fairly empty in the morning at breakfast and by the pool. Instead, everything is full. Today there was a DJ and a band by the pool. It was loud and fun, but you can't escape it. Even in your room, you can still hear the music. Lucy and Gabi played in our homemade bullpen. Lucy chased Gabi in the walker and occasionally had her feet run over. These girls are very busy!!!

We missed Madison's birthday party because Gabi wouldn't wake up from her nap. We put her down earlier thinking that she would be up in time and she slept another hour. We finally made it down and the kids played in the lounge and we enjoyed some delicious cake.

Gabi's newest trick is clapping. I've been trying to get her to do this for a couple of months, but she just wouldn't. There was a soccer match between Guatemala and Honduras on TV and the restaurant was very into it. Gabi finally joined in and started clapping. So cute!!!

Gabriella also impressed her visitors with her bedhead this afternoon. She looked ridiculous. She is completely unaware of the affect her hair has on people.
