Going Well

Despite what I say Jason is doing a really good job being here. It really was miserable hiking in that 95 degree weather, so I really don't blame him. To finish off what we did yesterday, we went to a museum on the temples that we visited, and did the canopy tour. That was a blast.

They strap you up in harnesses and then you do a zip line in the jungle. It was a pretty fun experience. There were 8 zip lines and by the end the guide was showing us tricks to do. (mostly turning upside down) At the very last zip line he shook mine and my moms line, so we were bouncing as we went down. That was the coolest part. It felt so weird going up and down.

Ok so my first days stories. They are pretty good ones. We went to Antigua. First off we picket up some people, not a problem, we both had said prayers by ourselves, but my grandma and the other lady decided that we needed to say one as a group. Ok what ever, my mom and I thought it was a little silly. As we finished the prayer my dad noticed that there was a bubble in the wheel well. So I guess the prayer really did help.

As we were changing the tire my grandpa came up to us and asked grandma if she had another set of keys and that he had locked the keys in the car. To his defence one side of the cars windows were up and the other side was down. Thank goodness that turned out to be ok.

Wow this is a long blog today, sorry. Ok so we went to a market and bought little souvenirs, and we are heading to another on today. We did get lost quite a few times, but we got to see more of the country that way. We also stopped at a macadamia nut factory. That was pretty neat to see how they come about and they even gave us a facial. (massage on the neck and washed our face with the nut oil) Those nuts were so good I wish I bought more, yummm!

Well we were a little late coming home and to make things even more interesting we were puled over by a cop. They were randomly pulling people over to make sure they had registration papers and drivers licences. Well we didn't have the papers, but the guy didn't give us a ticket because they were missionaries. It was pretty interesting he didn't know what to do for a while.

When we got home we made scones for FHE. As we were making them, we accidentally turned on the wrong burner. Well on the burner we turned on sat the plate of finished scones. Woops. After a while the plate burst, the paper towel caught on fire, and the plate was so hot my mom and Matt burned there fingers. It was crazy. We all had thoughts of the apartment going down in flames. It had oil, so we couldn't throw water on it, so all 3 of us were blowing as hard and smothering the fire as best as we could. I blew a piece of paper towel next to the wood chopping block, but we put that fire out before it started the wood on fire.

That was one memorable day. In the end everything turned out really well. As things keep happening I keep saying, "Nice, one more story for the blog. "
