India - part 2

Taj Mahal
Well, it is totally worth all of the hype. What a beautiful and impressive building. Pictures really don't do it justice at all. It is bigger than I thought it would be and has so much detail. The stone sparkles in the sun. We spent most of the day there just taking it all in.




Believe it or not, this is our first family picture since Conley was born. It took us four months to get one of all of us.


Conley loving the Taj Mahal.


She learned how to say Taj Mahal, but added a syallable "Taja Mahal". It was so cute to hear her say it.



Hill family special


It is a good thing that my daughter loves rice. She really lived off of it the time that we were there. The food was really, really spicy.




Everyone loved our double stroller. This is the Red Fort in Agra.
What you don't see is is a bunch of other people taking our picture behind Simon.


So a typical traffic jam in India consists of cars, tuk-tuks(what we are in), bikes, motorcycles and cows. This picture didn't have a cow in it, but they always in the middle of the street.



Baby Taj
This is in the same city as the Taj Mahal, and has been nicknamed the Baby Taj. Not as big, but still some impressive stone work.
He is just really too cute!

Auburn sporting her new India shirt.



Delhi - the largest mosque in India
I had to wear this lovely robe because I was wearing shorts.

We feel really blessed to have all of these adventures and that our children travel so well.
Who knows where we will end up next....

Mexico - Mayan ruins II

Simon's parents had to get back to their mission in Mexico City and we continued on our trip.  We saw a lot of ruins, 9 in total.  This is the next post of Mayan ruins.  It was actually great for the kids as well.  They could run around, climb and explore. It was interesting to see the differences at each sight.  The kids had their favorites by the end of the trip.  We also taught them a little bit about Mayan culture. Edzna   These well preserved carvings were great.       Palanque These were probably my favorite ruins.  It is set in the jungle and it felt very peaceful there. It is hard to believe that only 10 percent of the structures are actually uncovered.  The rest are still covered by the jungle. some well preserved carvings waterfalls in the middle of the ruins The Palace   Temple of Inscription   The kids had a great time climbing up and exploring...
