Visiting Marlaina

On our way back from Mexico, we got done earlier than we thought, so we stopped in at Marlaina's and stayed the night and went swimming with her and her family on Labor Day. The night before we went for a walk. Tean loved being pushed in the wagon with Broyden. Tean loved playing with his cousins. Tean and Broyden had an awesome time on their trampoline. When it was time for bed, Jake decided to see if he could fit through the window of their play house. He got stuck for a bit, but was finally able to make it through. All the kids thought it was hilarious. On Labor Day, we went swimming at Marlaina's bishop's house before we headed for home. It was overcast and the water was a little cold, but we all had a great time. Thanks Marlaina for letting us stay at your house!

Tijuana, Mexico

Jake and I both got root canals and we both needed crowns on our teeth, so we decided to head to Mexico on Labor day weekend and get them done. Some people might think us a little crazy to go clear down there for dental work, but it is known as the dentist capital of the world. Plus we saved over $1000 by going down there and getting the work done. On our way down there, there was a big fire right by the freeway that we were going on, so we had to go around it, adding about 2 hours to our trip. The road switch-backed back and forth and near the end of that part of the drive, Tean got sick and threw up in the car :( Not fun at all. Jake's aunt and uncle were awesome and let us stay a couple of nights there while we went down to Mexico. Tean did awesome in the car! When we got down to Mexico, Tean's favorite part of the trip was chasing the birds. When ever he saw some birds he had to chase them. Jake's and my favorite part of the trip was definitely eating the Mexican food. YUM! Tean also kept wanting to sit on the"zebras" that they had on every street corner (donkeys painted like zebras). And people kept trying to get us to pay to get a picture on the "zebra." We were able to get our crowns done in a day! It was a quick trip, but definitely worth it!
