Our trip begins...

Our vacay route changed a bit, we were going to go to some cabins in Chihuahua then head down to Guanajuato, but in the end we ended up paying a visit to my sister, Angie, in Saltillo and afterwards to a long time friend of Esther's in Monterrey. It was a on-the-go type of decision, but in the end all went well and Kenji got to make some new friends.

Being, by nature, a little bit shy and a loner it took some time before he launched out on his own to play with the other kids. But once he gained some confidence (and was reassured that I wasn't going to leave him in that place alone, ha) he really enjoyed interacting and playing with the other kids.

When it was time to continue our trip, Kenji was really sad to be leaving his new friends; Haylie, Ray, Evan, and Max. He even asked me if we could bring them along, but once I explained how sad their mommies would be without their kids, he realized that it probably wasn't the best idea. My smart cookie, heh!

Oh, one note-worthy piece of news, :D, is that Kenji got over his fear of water! Well I can't say it was really a fear of his but more like a hesitation to get in, seeing as it was just about his first time to get in a pool! He got in a pool once when he was a wee little baby, but that was ages ago, heh, so I guess you can say it was really his first time as far as he is concerned. It took about 5 minutes for him to warm up to the idea of being "on his own" - with floaties - in the water, but after that he refused to have me hold him at all!

Before leaving Monterrey we visited the Safari there. We, Kenji and I, had already been there once in December of last year, but we didn't have the chance to see it all - it's quite big. So it was fun going to the other half of the Safari.

And so now our journey continues... off we go to Guanajuato! Stay tuned! :)
