Micah turns 5!

At 9 a.m. on July 28, 2009 Micah turned five years old. He was a bit unsure of the day's plans when he woke up. He put on his favorite shark shirt and agreed to open some presents. That sure helped! Thanks everyone who sent special packages with Paul and Laurel! Then we packed up the truck and headed to the natural hot springs in Papalutla 2 hours away. There were about 30 of us all together. We were actually celebrating three birthdays: Micah, Mari Carmen, and Laurel. We had an awesome day swimming, playing water polo, water volleyball, swimming, catching minnows, swimming, and then eating grilled meat and veggies, chocolate zucchini cake, breaking a pinata and finally a bit of dancing before driving back to Olinala. We got home around 11 p.m. A full day of celebrating.
