Mexico Part 53: Visitors Take II

May was full of family!  Last minute my parents decided that they wanted to come and see us one last time before we left Guadalajara so they came on the 23rd and stayed for 10 days.  It was great to have them here and do a do-over from the first time they came.  I was a little more cautious this time of where we went out to eat, and we all managed to stay nice and healthy this visit.  One of the other main reasons my mom was coming was to visit her older brother in Matehuala who had been sick.  So, my parents, the kids and I piled in the car and went to visit my mom's side of the family.  River knew we were leaving and wouldn't get out of the car when it was time to go, so she came along for the ride too.  Matthew was doing a Carrera Brutal, kind of like a ragner with crazy obstacle courses in Queretaro, Mexico, so he didn't drive down with us on Friday.  Instead, he joined us Saturday night.  We stayed from Friday to Monday and made a pit stop in San Juan de los Lagos outside of Jalisco.  Then a couple days later three of my aunts and uncles from my dad's side came to visit and we had a full house!  It was crazy but fun.  They are the nicest people and have the greatest kids.  We even threw an early birthday party for Eva since we won't be going to Oregon this summer.  It was nice to be able to have family and great friends there too.  While the family was in town, we went to downtown Zapopan, Chapala, Tequila (twice) and also Tlaqupaque all inside Jalisco.  We drove around the city in two jam packed cars with no seat belts and weathered the intense Mexican sun.  It has been HOT!  Get ready for picture overload...
