So we planned this trip a while back because we thought it would be fun to bring Eric's parents back to their hometown to visit family. And it was pretty awesome to see John with his little sister! They both talk non-stop! <--- unfortunately for me, most of it was in Spanish so I only caught every few words...
Our motel did not have WiFi so we ended up at a donut shop....
...where Isabella ate every last sprinkle off of her donut.... and then left the rest!
Del Rio has the most colorful cemetaries I have ever seen! Bright flowers everywhere! Makes me wish I had brought along a 35mm instead of my crappy point and shoot...
My MILs oldest sister who died of pnemonia.
My MILs grandmother? I think? Eric isn't in the room so I can't ask.... But when she was a little girl in the 1800s there were still Indian attacks on the town! Crazy!
Right next to the cemetary
My Father in law's elem. school
The church where my inlaws got married... 2 days after my MIL turned 18. It was hilarious to be driving around this little town and hearing how they met and seeing all the places in their stories.
The church that the nuns from the Catholic school took the students from my MILs school.
MILs school
The creek where my inlaws used to swim as kids. They call it the Pig Pen :)
Isabella getting ready to jump in... in her new 'swim swim'!
She was SO excited to be able to walk around the water all by herself! Though she did face plant a couple of times..... not that she minded....
Grandma watched Isabella swim from the same spot where her mom used to watch her and her sisters.
All done swimming!
Dinner with John's sister Chata and her husband Raul. With Izzy sitting so ladylike.... Cracked me up! We went to this Mexican resturant and Chata and Raul ordered a plate of chicken nuggets! That's it... just nuggets....
Izzy, John, and Sonja (John's niece?)
