Welcome Back!

So...my MIL just came back from Equador, the Amazon and the Galapagos...and I have decided that yes, we will be going there next year! The kids have to have that opportunity!!! They need to be able to say as adults that they went kiaking (or however you spell that) on the Amazon...that they saw the huge tortus in the Galapagos and that they have traveled!!!! That is my goal...show my children the world! I want to give them way more than I was handed (which really, wasn't much) so they can be well rounded and cultured!!! What gorgeous pictures she brought back! She was feet away from animals that we can only see at the zoo or stuffed in a museum! They need to experience this! In my opinion, they need to see the world!
