Guatemala Day 9 - Guate to Vegas to home - Aug 7

Sunday morning we had to get up early and get going since most of our flights left early. We were sad to say goodbye to Guatemala and the family.




The Olympics were going on and this was all set up at the airport!


The view from the plane. The houses right next to the airport.



We made it back to Vegas to get our car and then drive to get Gracie and then to home. The traffic going south was stopped and it reminded us of all of the protests that we encountered along our way. 
It was an amazing trip. Not exactly as planned at all times but we had a great time together. I love that our children have the opportunity to see where their ancestors come from. We made it home safely and we are grateful for all those that helped us to make this trip possible. Juan for driving us to the airport and taking care of our car, Casey's parents for taking care of Gracie for a week. Perianne for driving Gracie out to Utah. Carina for picking up Gracie and taking care of her for a couple of days. Jenny for taking Gracie for the last few days of our trip, Chepe for showing us around and making sure we had all of the information that we needed. Zildy for all of the planning that we did together. Casey and Jonas for being willing to put up with our crazy family. The children for being born cause without them we probably would not have made this trip. My siblings for being so close that we enjoy taking trips like these together! The Guatemalan people that helped us along the way when we ran into problems. And mostly my parents for being great examples for us to follow!

Que tengan un buen viaje! Hasta la proxima vez! Muy amables!
