1) A water ski show in Rochester with our friends Niels and Karly with their son Judah;
2) A weekend in northern Wisconsin over the 4th of July with Stacy's cousin Jackie--some water skiing, another water ski show, some fireworks, and visiting Stacy's grandma Rosemary (we were in the town where Stacy's dad, Steve, grew up...very nice);
3)Just over 2 weeks in Mexico--this was part of my elective month, I studied spanish, observed in a clinic, and got to spend some time with my dad and sister who were able to join me (Stacy had to stay and work).
1)Rochester Water Ski Show
Niels, Karly, and Judah at the water ski show in Rochester.
This was my first ever water ski show. I thought it was a lot of fun.
2) Northern Wisconsin Fun
This was my first ever water ski show. I thought it was a lot of fun.
Stacy, her cousin Jackie (on the right), and Jackie's roommate, Becky, dressed up for Independence Day fun.
Emma liked to stand on the front of the kayak, until...
she fell off and went swimming.
Some water skiers in Minocqua, WI. I was really shocked with some of the stuff they did and had a great time. They are the oldest, continuously running, amateur water ski show in the country.
They are a big team.
One of their boats has a couple big outboard motors...they can stand the boat almost straight up in the air...I was impressed.
They can do tricks off of the jump while other skiers pass under them.
3)Mexico Trip--Dad was with me for the entire 16 days, Teresa for 10. We took language classes and got to do some sightseeing.

Dad and Teresa with Ramon (cousin Anna's husband who was deported to Mexico over 18 months ago...found out while we were there that he has permission to return, praise God). This picture is in front of the Royal Palace in downtown Mexico City.
A big organ at the Mexico City cathedral...we saw it with Ramon one Friday afternoon.
Another view of the cathedral.
This is the clinic where I observed, Maria Luisa was the manager/nurse/secretary of El Dispensario. She is a very friendly lady.
Teresa at the pyramid at Tepozteco...quite the view.
Here is a view of the pyramid. It is at the top of some cliffs, in an area that seems unlikely for a pyramid. It was a nice hike. Looks like the picture didn't turn out great.
This is me looking as much like a frat guy as I know how...with my new big hat and my incredibly large beer...I felt like all I needed was an Abercrombie shirt.
This is the school where we studied. Our classes were under the tiki huts.
A few of the teachers at the language school.
Nallely was my teacher for the majority of the time I was in language school, she taught me medical spanish.
Here is the family we stayed with in Cuernavaca, Mexico...left to right: dad, Jose Maria, Chema, Alicia, and Diego (I am in front). This family was incredibly friendly and welcoming, Thanks.
I may be able to add more pictures in the coming weeks...I forgot my camera charger, so I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted to, nor as many as dad or Teresa took. Hope you enjoy.
