VIVA LA MEXICO

My most recent vacation was sooooo much fun! It started in Phoenix where I met up DeWitt and Rich and we started our killer road trip to El Paso for Haydee and Franco's wedding. The got married in the Juarez temple in Mexico.
Sister Lewis noticed that my A.D.D. was kicking in while we were waiting outside the temple and thought she should make me an "assistant photographer" ...highly doubtful she was able to use any of my pictures...not too many new couples want silly pictures. This is my "i'm a photographer" stance...I don't know where it came from, but I sure wouldn't stop.

Again DeWitt and I ventured off and took our own pictures...darn that A.D.D.
After the wedding and pictures were done we were on our way to the car when we saw a vendor selling ice cream so we had to get Mexican ice cream! It was sooooooo good!
This was the sign on the border...right before we got harassed by the border patrol...I think it was because I look so Mexican.
After we got back to the U.S. we went to the University and took some pictures in this really cool area on campus. Apparently my A.D.D. was kicking in again because I was put to work as an assistant again...
This was the Mariachi band that was at the reception, I sure do love mariachi bands...but they can be pretty loud.
Franco ended up singing to Haydee with the mariachi band...awww, how cute!
The next day we went shopping and this barrel was in our parking garage telling us if we don't pay that this barrel will be chained to our car! I thought this was funny!
We also found this mural that lets all of us know what race God is...apparently according to this wall he is a mexican.
We went by the border to see this small town called Anapra, so Bethany could take pictures for a report she is doing. It is really sad how the houses are made out of scraps and in this case sheets.
DeWitt is talking to some little kids that came out to talk to us. We gave them some cookies for treats, but they didn't like them.
