David Godshall's Mexico Trip Photo Album: camp

At the Camp: Oasis de Agua Viva

The van J. Mark rented was not large enough to accomodate all 20-25 people, so the younger set took a bus to Puebla. We all eventually ended up at the camp near Puebla where the wedding was scheduled to take place and where we would be staying for the next several days, before and after the wedding.

1The bus group waiting in Puebla for J. Mark to pick us up. L-to-R: Tim, Liz, Peter, Tara, Sue, Angie.
2Finally! J. Mark shows up and we are on our way to the camp.
3Our first meal at the camp, with Claude Good, Sam and Jim Smith (father and brother of the groom), and Lester and Mary Lou Blank.
4John Frederick with his niece Emma.
5Kim shows off her new mug. I think she wanted a permanent record in case it broke before she got it home.
Around this time we visited Africam.
6Jon Smith's son and daugher play in the pool.
7Liz watches as J. Mark baby-talks to grandson Luke.
8A local boy takes a swing at a Piñata at little Emma's birthday party.
9It didn't take long to break the Piñata, and then the mad scramble for candy begins (this was taken after the mad part of the scramble).
10Poor little Emma was a bit sleepy and shy at her party. Her dad holds her while Grandma Emma (Nana) tries to bring her out.
11Lester tried out the videotape recorder while Ethel and wife Mary Lou watch from the left, and bride Erica from the right.
12Marta's baby Luke doing what he does second best (smiling is what he does best).
13Emma enjoying the swings, while mama Marta talks with Liz.
14Nana Emma is joining her.
Life at camp took a twist as we set up for Erica and Joey's Wedding and Reception and then cleaned up afterwards.
15Back to a normal meal after the wedding crowds leave; Clockwise: Lester Blank, Guiermo Zuñiga, Javier and Alicia, two Zuñniga kids, Eva Zuñiga, and Mary Lou Blank.
16Peter telling a story while giving Karyn a shoulder rub.
17J. Mark explaining what is the next planned activity.
18Emma in one of her coloring sessions, this time with Alicia, Javier, and Mom. Music by Peter and Esteban.
19Peter and Esteban leading a medley of spanish songs, with Juan Carlos in tow.
20Whoops! We forgot to break the wedding piñatas! Well, let's just string one up!
21One of the younger kids taking a swing at it.
22A great fun song time, with songs in English, Spanish, and even one in German.
23Another view of those in attendance.
24Yet another view of those in attendance.
25Jake giving a sermon in English, with Emma doing a Spanish translation.
