She's pretty cool.
This summer, I got really sick and had to go home to recover from mono. I had been planning on staying at school, and so while my plans had to change quite a bit, I got to spend a whole lot more time with my mom.
We went on hikes
Saw waterfalls
Visited 1000 year old settlements
Went to a brand new temple
Saw old churches
Played Yard Games
Took Selfies
Saw Piñatas
Ate delicious food
Went to a pharmacy
(And got drinks there)
Saw elephants and a lot of other animals
(We were really excited for the Tapir)
Attended the temple (but not this one, unfortunately)Ate more yummy food
Picked and ate lots of berries
And a whole lot more! We went to Rebel Donuts, Voodoo donuts, whale watching, went to a concert, a hilarious opera, a number of tours, saw trucks, played board games, listened to music, did puzzles, watched movies, played putt-putt, and all kinds of fun things. (I don't have a lot of pictures of those, especially because the camera on her phone is easier to use).
Mom is really cool. She's such a great example to me and I'm really glad that I got sick with mono, because it gave me the chance to spend time with my mom. She has been a really fun adventure buddy this summer, and I'm really grateful for this time we've had to hang out, get to know each other better, and I'm especially grateful for the good friend she is to me.
So far, she's been Popo to her grandkids, but I don't want to call her that since I speak Spanish and I also love her. Towards the end of the summer, we were talking, and mom mentioned the name "Magic Momma". I think it's the perfect name to describe my wonderful mom.
