Locked and loaded for our walk!

I know you told me not to play with the sauce packets dad.....

My Beautiful Ladies!

When is the plane coming? How long do we have to sleep here? Are we landing soon? Don't they bring us pretzels on this plane? When is the 2nd plane coming? Can I have a drink of your water? Are we landing soon? Can you buy me a corn dog? Do they have McDonalds here? OH MY GOSH LOOK THEY HAVE MCDONALDS HERE!!! Is this guy gonna drive us around everywhere? Do they have a pool at the hotel? Is that one a volcano? Is that one a volcano? Will we be able to see the lava? OH MY GOSH THAT'S A VOLCANO! Can I get pancakes here? Why do they cut their bananas like this? Is this ketchup? What's this one? What's salsa? SPLAT (all over her face in the picture above)! Why is this green stuff burning my face!? Mom, I'm scared, why is it so dark here? Why are the people with the scarves sleeping on the sidewalk? Will you sit out here and look at the stars with me?

I'm not sure if I'm exhausted from the lack of sleep...or the mental stimulation of life with Lily the question master. So many favorite moments from today. But mostly just the joy of life with the coolest little curious cat I know. And of course, a baby who attracts the beaming smiles and "Que lindo!" of everyone around us.

Actually I do have a favorite: standing outside the chaos of the Guatemala City airport trying to figure out who the heck our driver is and all of a sudden Lily yells out: "HEY, that's my name!" And starts waving furiously at Sergio. Sure enough, our driver was holding a sign that said "Lily Mathiowetz" boy was he surprised when I introduced HER as Lily and not myself (:

Good thing our Kindergartner can read her name (:
Good night.
