Hi..will let you see some photos of charlotte and Oscars huge garden..or should I say collection of fields!Hamish likes mowing the lawn better than at home..I think due to the fact that he uses a tractor..and boys like thier toys..he takes a child or 2 and calls it childcare!!the kids love it!!The kids helped make cookies and charlotte made strawberry pie which we are eating now good food!! went into macdonalds and ordered a coffee “what size mam!” I said small..and they guy said you can get a large for the same price so I said I`d have a large thankyou!!..well it cost about 30p and was the size of a large coke…I started giggling..saying it was REALLY large…he looked at me with a here`s a strange little english mad person look on his face..but totally impressed..shared it with Charlotte..great value!!Anyway getting back to the garden..played in paddling pool today..and the kids found fresh snake skin…they were so excited Hamish decided to go on a snake hunt through the woods!! boots on insect repellant on..and a big stick to fight off anacondas!!..sadly the only thing that was found was a deer skull..pretty cool..and Hamish came back bitten to death by mosquitos…they think he`s pretty tasty out here!..we booked some tickets today to fly from LA to Guatamala city for eight pounds !!! that will save much trecking in Mexico…we were reading a funny but scary story about bandit activity along the rd we were to travel on.It happened to Hamish and I before we had kids but dont fancy it with 3 blond kids..we had planned to do it but with these tickets being so cheap..it seems like a good option..and its a good budget airline here in the states.so in a short while when we have purchased a car we will be travelling across to california..we will keep you posted of the route we plan to take. ( pray its a good one….Ham phoned about one you needed a screwdriver to start it…we had a car like that once).Hopefully it wont be that one!!Keep posting..oh the youth at southport elim church are the best!!thanks for all your comments its great to be in touch with you..you are all fab..lots of love Rachel Hanish and Rascals.
Hi y’all
Never been on a blog before and it works – hope this reply does too. I’m supposed to be working but your distracting me. Glad you’ve all arrived safely and that it’s finally happening for you!
Enjoyed reading all about the beginning of your adventures. You could write a book on the “Adventures of the MacDonald Family”.
Off on our church Ladies W’end tomorrow, pray all goes well.
Anyway must get back to work
Love Liz (and Pete) x
Think we all want to be there now, we’re all busy revising for our exams and everybodies quite stressed, hope you see lots of meercats at some point, they’re my favourite animal
i love all the pictures you have they’re really cute, praying for you and look forward to hearing more of your adventure x x x
hi guys-sent you email the other day- did you get it? sounds like you are having fun- buying the car sounds like a better and safer idea with the kids. i remember when you and hamish and seth went across the border when we stayed with you and you managed to meet some crazy guy with a knife- do you remember? anyway aimee is sound asleep-she is getting cuter and cuter and developing a lovely giggle! She chats away to us and her toys which is great and keeps us amused! am planning to take her for her first swim next week whilst we are on holiday in scotland…keep the postings coming! Great to keep in touch with what you are up to!
love emma, jon and aimee xxx
Sounds like you “mad Englishmen” are have a blast with all these “crazy Americans!” See you Sunday–Happy Mother’s Day! I guess you don’t have a national Mother’s Day in jolly ole England?
Hey Rach and gang
Finally got on to post a message, tried last Sunday from my mobile phone but it all went wrong so had to cancel..! lol But new computer’s up and running so will be a regular on here from now on 
The photos are great and it looks and sounds like you are having a whale of a time
Laughed out loud at your comment about sleep in your email Rachel!! I can imagine how it must feel – extreme chilling could be a good description for it! lol 
Wait til I tell Nathan what seth was doing with the turtle….!!!! He is a scream! lol
Missing you loads and praying for you often..
Love Dawn and the gang x x x x x
ps is there any way of making the photos any bigger on the site? Be great to see them in more detail, would love to see the expressions on the kids’ faces!! x
So glad you all are enjoying the yard…We are so glad for the help in mowing it! Saves so much time when 2 people are working at it. That yard is going to feel quite empty with just our family in it by ourselves later on this month.
Well, anyway, I just can’t begin to express how happy we have been…..(and still are) to have you here with us.
Charlotte
Hi Guys
Your blog is a great tonic – everytime I log on I have a good laugh! It started to rain in Southport today and I ran out to get the washing in – and I saw the paint on the path from the banner we did. I said I would pray for you everytime I noticed it – and so I did! Can’t wait to see how many people you get to sign the banner!!
Love to you all
Veronica
Sounds so much fun…a bit like those Enid Blyton adventure books I read as a kid. You turn over the page (or scroll up) and more adventure comes!
Prayin you’ll keep safe!
Stay Blessed xx
