Vincy was a local mayan girl, was away for a few months but came back just before i left. she has the same birthday as my father... but 44 years later. so Bree and I took her and Flor to the fair.

coolest smile.

Bree and Flor versus Sarah and Vincy.





and on the rollercoaster we go.

they found this the lamest ride, understandably as they are 9 and 11 but... so it goes.

Clos from an Argentinian pinguino. what a way to end it all.
