tortillas + red beans ‘n’ rice =HAPPY HANK
We ALL climbed this Mayan ruin, Xunantunich. From the top we saw howler monkeys, mahogany trees, tucans, and Guatemala!
Checking out the baby green iguanas at the Iguana Project hatchery
drinking my first banana, orange and honey (soy) milkshake at Da Shak in Placencia
we took this crazy hand-cranked ferry across the Mopan River in San Juan Succotz
checking out the parrots at Robert’s Grove Inn, Seine Bight, Belize
keeping hydrated at the Maya Beach Bistro in Maya Beach, Belize
hiking through the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary
(this is technically a jaguar reserve and it is also where something growled at mommy and she almost peed in her pants)
oh, and don’t forget the bed dancing!
* I had to name this entry “unBELIZEable” because our tour guide, Eduardo, kept saying that phrase at Xunantunich and he even had it on his hat…sort of the country’s motto.

we finally found it! located next to the barber shop, hopefully we will return more enlightened…
searching for the iguana that hides behind the raft
(we have no idea what that sign says)
mommy and hankers getting beach ready
oar you ready for some fun?
and…we are off to town for some creole (kriol) food!
washing dishes
and…
creating artistic masterpieces
and…
making out the grocery list
and double checking it …
and…
reading our mail (a St. Patrick’s Day card from Patrick!)
unravelling tech difficulties
and…
hanging out with mommy
and…
playing football
rooting for the Jayhawks (and Elmo!)
and dancing…
with Cella.





A very special thank you to Sarah P. (superstar photographer!)
If your child plays the drums,
band practice…
