PR in a nut shell

meaning...through lots and lots of pictures. note to self: never think it is a good idea to put this many pictures up again. that was horrible. once i started i just had to finish. no wonder i throw one picture up per blog post. i feel so worn out.

i had to keep reminding myself that i am going to be grateful i went through and organized all the pictures and put them up. i know i will be when i can't sleep, pull out my computer and start reading old blog posts and laugh at myself (i do that all too often). it's safe to say to the pyfers and jewkes that our first family vacation was a success!

(flamenco beach on culebra island or heaven. either name fits just fine)

(needless to say flamenco beach wore us out. beau and amy slowly passing out is my favorite) 

the stormy (adventurous) day when cat was ill

la estacion

and some random randoms

My favorite excusions: 1. Flamenco beach (no need for an explanation there)

      2. Bioluminescent Bay (a must do)

my favorite part of the trip as a whole: getting to know the locals

-Keshley

-Hyrum

-Nora

-Miguel

Keshley and I met on the plane (her picture is above). I asked her what brought her to puerto rico. she replied by shaking her head. it didn't take long to realize she didn't speak english. for the last hour of the plane ride i wrote to her on a napkin in spanish trying to communicate with her. (emphasize the word trying) we got to writing so much that we filled the napkin and she pulled out her notebook so we could write in the back of it. she is 14. from carolina, puerto rico. she was in the states visiting her aunt. she doesn't like the city of san juan but recommended culebra and vieques beach and said the people are nice in "some" of the places. haha that is just part of the "small talk" we had.

Hyrum. he was my favorite. we met him in the ward on Sunday. Hyrum's dream is to be called on a mission to Salt Lake City. he practically screamed during the meeting when we told him we were from Utah. why does hyrum want to go to SLC so bad on his mission? so he can go to general conference.

yeahh, that made me almost pop a tear.

oh puerto rico. how we miss you so.
