Pictures from Panama

I wanted to share a few pictures from our trip to Panama. These are after Rachel was out of the hospital and we were trying our best to give her some fun and happy memories of the trip!

On Thursday afternoon we went to a really nice mall and let Rachel ride on the carousel and some of the other little kid rides.

Friday morning we went to a science museum kind of place called Explora. There were all sorts of exhibits to learn about gravity, electricity, the stars, wind, etc.... it was fun and we had a very nice tour guide lady too.

Learning how a pulley system works- Rachel liked this one alot.

Watching a 3D movie about airplanes and how they fly.

Then we headed home for lunch and took off for a quick trip to the beach. We went to beautiful resort called Breezes. There were pools, great food and of course the beach.

                                                                                               

All of us arriving at the resort.

Special thanks for my inlaws for taking us all to the beach!

We had a great time.

 Rachel's cousin-Ivy celebrated her 17th birthday while we were there. We went to a nice italian restaurant for dinner that night. Here is Rachel, her cousin, Ivy, her tia Jeanny and cousin Amy.

Rebecca and I spent some time in the pool. It was so hot and sunny, and I didn't want her getting too much sun. She loved the water and seemed to have alot of fun.

Saying "goodbye" to our wonderful weekend at the beach!

On Monday, we had to go back to the hospital for a checkup with Rachel's doctor and to finish up the never ending paperwork.  Then home to pack and then we went to local photo studio. We all had a big family picture taken.

This is before the pictures, we were waiting in the lobby. I think it is interesting to see Rebecca with her blue eyes and blondish hair in the middle of the rest of us with brown eyes and hair.

After pictues we went out for some pizza and then home to get everyone to bed.

I had to put this in- Rebecca took her bath each day in this little tub. She loved it so much.

Even though our trip didn't quite go as planned, we were thankful to see our family and spend time with one another. We made some great memories!
