The García Chronicles

We just finished visiting family for the last week, so here are some highlights. Maicah and Caleb went to their cousin Noah's first birthday party. It went well except that Caleb made himself sick by spinning himself around a pole one too many times. I was surprised how much food could fit into his little stomach.

























We visited the ranch in Mexico where my father grew up and went to the river that I spent many summers swimming in. Maicah and Caleb jumped in for a while to cool off. Caleb was feeling wild and went skinny dipping, hence, the distant shots.












Here's Maicah hanging out with some of his distant cousins, Abram and Margarita. I think they would be 3rd cousins for him, but I'm not sure. Abram and Margarita have 40 1st cousins.


The last leg of our trip was S. Padre Island where we relaxed before spending a final night with my parents. We found some marine life that we put in a bucket for a while. It's hard to see, but there are 2 shrimp, 2 small crabs, 6 small clams and some sea slug thing.

Here's a picture of Danica at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens.

Maicah found a caterpillar this past weekend and put in his bug box. His new friend is doing well: he's eating leaves and pooping often. Maicah wants to see him or her? turn into a butterfly.
