Thanksgiving Day in Antigua

Hello Everyone, This is Dawn's Mom and Aaron and Lilly's Meemaw. I bet you are all wondering why I am blogging and not Dawn? Well, they cannot get internet access where they are staying in Antigua, Guatamela. Dale tried all day yesterday and today and they are having alot of trouble with antiquated wiring. Dawn called me today wishing her State side family a Happy Thanksgiving and ask that I go on their blog site and tell everyone they are fine.

They arrived on Tuesday and received Aaron and Lilly on Wednesday and then flew out of Guatamela City to Antigua where they are staying in a very quaint Bed and Breakfast. Dawn said as you look out their hotel room window you see the volcano... Mom's reply I sure hope it's not an active one. She said it is absolutely beautiful.

She said the streets where all very old cobblestones and all the little cafe's are in a garden setting and at night they all have romantic twinkle lights. Kya and Autumn are enjoying the music and the lights at night and yes they are dancing at the cafe's under the stars.

They are all happy and content with their family all around them. Tonight around 6pm they were heading off down the street to yet another cafe that was offering a Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. For lunch they found a cafe where they could have desserts and were they yummy.

Kya picked out her birthday cake for her party tomorrow. Imagine that you can still pick out your own cake even in Guatemala. She chose an ice cream cake. I did talk with Kya and she says their room is very noisy...LOL, Dad is playing the guitar and singing and Autumn is banging on a drum they bought today. I guess it would be noisy.

I don't expect to hear from Dawn again while they are with Aaron and Lilly. They sent their wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving for all and will post pictures as soon as they return.

Blessings to all of you, Dawn's Mom, Pat
