Travel changes and yard surfing!

So we made it to Corpus Christie Tx. last night to meet up with the rest of our team to start heading down to Veracruz today. At about 10:00 pm I got a call from the other half of our team and some things had come up so they hadn’t even left the border, to come get us yet. So since it’s a 3 hour trip we decided that waiting for them to arrive at 1:00 am then load up and get back to the border around 5:00 am was not really worth it. We all decided to get a good night sleep and make the pick up today.

Since we were at my dad's house the kids were thrilled to find out we would be spending the night at his house. They had been out in the yard playing with their Uncle Eli. He has invented a game which Adrian has called Yard Surfing. My brother pulls them along the grass on a boogie board and then over a big plastic blow up bottle to give them the effect of going over a wave. They did this for about an hour wiping both the kids and Uncle Eli. They have been doing this game with uncle Eli for over a year now every time we go visit, earning Eli a permanent place in their hearts and memories.

So I am writing this from a home on the border and LW we will be packing up tonight to leave early in the morning.

Just got news we will be leaving. TTL!
