On June 24th, Joel’s parents, Ruth and Earl and his brother Eric and his family, Fumiko, Sheena and Reenna flew into Quito for the start of a two-week time together to celebrate Earl and Ruth’s 50th anniversary coming up in August. \u00a0We basically traveled through the majority of Ecuador, minus a couple of places. \u00a0We went to Mindo to start with. \u00a0We knew Ruthie would love this place. \u00a0It has many species of birds to see as well as other nature. \u00a0The whole family ended up enjoying it! \u00a0We then went to Santo Domingo and worked at the camp for a couple of days so the family could meet the Rocha family who we talk about so much. \u00a0We then went to Puerto Lopez and saw humpback whales as well as many other animals at the “Poor Man’s Galapagos” or Isla de la Plata. \u00a0We spent a day at the beach in Crucita and then went to Bahia de Caraquez and visited Isla Corazon. \u00a0We then headed back to Quito because Joel’s sister, Shana and her daughter Braedyn flew in on July2nd. \u00a0We missed having the rest of Shana’s family, her hubby Bo and 2 older daughters Brianne and Bailey had to stay home. \u00a0They were thoroughly missed though! \u00a0Many times we said, “we wish the rest of the O’Dell’s were here!” \u00a0We hung out in Quito to see Mitad del Mundo (the middle of the world) and the equator. \u00a0Then we went to Pappallacta to the hot springs for a little bit and then went to Puyo. \u00a0We went on a jungle tour as well as visited a monkey refuge. \u00a0Then we headed to Banos and hiked to a huge waterfall (Pailon del Diablo), rode in dune buggies, went ziplining and much more! \u00a0Enjoy the pictures!<\/p>\n

We just want to say, THANK YOU so much Delp\/O’Dell family for a great 2 weeks! \u00a0We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family to share our lives with.<\/p>\n
