Well, yet another visitor has come to see us-----Tyler!!
He has barely been here yet, and already they are paddling in the La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge. (You can Google that if you want!) It is a 4 day canoe race from San Ignacio(Just 25 minutes away from us), all the way to Belize City(1 hour and 45 mins. away). In all, the length of river that they have to paddle is 170 miles!
The team name is Shoots Alive,(our micro green and sprout business) and it consists of Tyler, Daddy, a guy from Spanish Lookout named Kevin and , of coarse, the support crew(consists of Mommy, Keaton, Grady, Nelson and I!) You can track our boys by clicking on this link.........

.....or check out our Shoots Alive Facebook page for updates.
Today we were up at 5:30AM to eat some breakfast and "get outta' here" by 6:00AM. Then to San Ignacio we went. There we dropped in the boat and waited until 7:00AM when the canoes took off. Then into the car and to Mennonite beach, where we could see the boys and drop in a bag of food with: granola bars, power gels and coconut waters, for them. Then we zipped off to Iguana Creek Bridge to catch them there again and to drop off some bananas. Then we had lots of time. At Iguana Creek they were 2 miles short of halfway and there was no river access until their destination for today, Banana Bank Lodge. So we went home, did the dishes and had a snack. And, yet again, we drove of to Banana Bank Lodge. It was SUPER muddy and slippery so we pretty much slid down the hill to the river where it was PACKED with people. We waited for about 1 and 1/2 hours until Shoots Alive arrived. Then we (Mommy and Nelson)lugged the canoe back up the hill and came home. Now we are just chilling on the couch and the boys are drinking their coffee. Nery and Marien are bringing dinner tonight, so we are just calming down and waiting for them.
I will keep you posted(Actually, I will TRY to) on each day, but you can visit our Facebook page above to get more details.
Love

Oh Me Oh My
I am Sorry!!!!
I get caught up in things and forget about my blog.
Nana and Papa had a good time and so did we. Already we have had another visitor after them so now I can't remember what we did with Nana and Papa!!!!
Well....Our visitor was Tyler Boelens and we had a great time with him. From the 4th to the 7th he, daddy and a young friend from church did a 4 day canoe race, La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge.(You can look that up)They did pretty well and came in 37th place out of 52 or somewhere around there. After that we went swimming, swimming, swimming....and.....swimming!
We went down with daddy on his Thursday runs and he dropped us off at the beach in Hopkins where we spent the rest of the day. It was hot and very sunny so it was a good day to go swimming.(We all have nasty sunburns to show for it!) We were all tired after a day in the salty air.
The next day we just chilled at home because we didn't want to make our sunburns any worse. Then the next day we went to the blue hole(Inland one) and went swimming in its coooollllldddd water for a while.
Then on Saturday we went to Mountain Pine Ridge which is a big forest reserve with swimming hole and rivers that you can access for the small fee of : DRIVING ON THE BUMPY ROADS!!!We went to Rio on Pools(I think I told you about that in a different posting).Then we went to Big Rock which is where the river is a huge water fall and than a swimmable river again. Tyler did some jumping off of the 'Big Rocks'. Then we went home for supper and a beautiful sleep at 6.00 PM.
We have just dropped him of for his flight home on Monday the 14th.
Also, for school I a getting to learn how to write poems, so I decided to start a poem book that one day I may publish. Here is one of the poems........

Pictures in the
Clouds

I sit in the sand, water lapping
my toes,
Ready to ask a question that no
one knows.
What makes the clouds,
Turn into shapes?
What makes the wind,
Curl around me like snakes?
I see a mighty lion,
Ready to spring.
A bear standing tall,
As if on wings.
What makes the clouds,
Turn into shapes?
Playing with my hair.
It blows along the still waves,
Shaking them awake.
What makes the wind,
Curl around me like snakes?
What makes the clouds,
Turn into shapes?
Well that is all.
Oh, no its not. We have hired our first employee for shoots Alive, Leroy!!!!! Woohoo!
Praise the Lord for that!
Now that's all.
