hey ya all!!

I am at my aunts house using her internet so I will let you know a little about us. We are doing really good we really enjoyed our trip to the Dominican Republic sorry that I didn't write more I was up nursing Michael non stop and truthfully we traveled over the whole island except Haiti of course so I didn't have access to internet very often. I want to get my journal and write what we did so that you can know what we did. It was so much fun.

We are here in the Dominican Republic !!

We have fineally made it to the Dominican Republic...The time is going by so fast I can hardly believe we have been here a week already... we have seen so many fun things and hope to see alot more. It has been so good to come and see our family, Felito's sisters and all our nieces and nephews, it is growing so big. We are staying in a beautiful hotel in Boca Chica a 7 minute car ride away from Felito's brother Franklin and sister Sobieda. Our hotel has a fresh water swimming pool and two master bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and dining and living room. The hotel has cable T.V. and wireless internet. To sum it up we are in paradise. The grounds around the hotel are breath taking palm trees, ground cover and beautiful flowering bushes of all colors. It is around 86 degrees in the night and of course slightly hotter in the daytime.

Day 1 (thursday)- figured out rental car and hotel, then we went to visit family, Franklin, Sobieda, Amanda and all of Andres and Michaels cousins (eight in total). It was so fun, the power was out so we enjoyed sitting out on the frount porch and playing with glow lights that my dad brought from the states. We had a delicious hamburger, fries and drink. Which we shared together. It was so great to be back with family and Andres had a ball running down the street with his cousins. Michael enjoyed getting held by his aunts and cousins. Mom and Dad enjoyed meeting felito's twin sister for the first time. Mom was asking if there were fireflies in the D.R. and at that moment we saw a few fling around.
