Tanner and Katie

We were so blessed to have our great friends Tanner and Katie come stay with us after Christmas. They actually got to Central America before we did and then met us in San Pedro Sula when we flew in. Katie is in nursing school, so she spent some time at the hospital helping and observing. Tanner helped Josh with some construction projects, and we tried to get out and show them some fun stuff.

We did some extreme strollering. We actually just wanted to take a little hike, but it had rained a bunch about a week earlier, and the trail was a little too rutted for even the toughest stroller. Guildy slept right through it all!

We went to Utila for a couple days. Despite the nauseating boat rides out and back, it was well worth it to see the most amazing snorkeling. I think Utila has to be about the most beautiful place on Earth…..outside of Montana!

The pickup was in need of some electrical work and had to be push started the whole time they were here. After a couple tries, they had the system down pretty well. Now every time Guildy sees this pickup, she trots up to it and pushes on the bumper and says, “Push, push!” as though trying to get the team motivated.

Our new next door neighbors were building a stove, so Tanner helped for awhile. Honduran stoves are amazing. They are made out of sticks and clay and they burn wood in them. Nothing too high-tech, but Honduran gals can turn out the most amazing meals and even cakes and cookies.
