This weekend was pretty cool. It began with us just chilling together on friday night after i got from city. Which wasn't bad because i had reached early being that i took the vehicle with me and had to return on time to pick up Helwa and Rashidah from work. On Saturday we cleaned up the house, i could say thoroughly especially our room and the hall, eliminating most of the dust that had accumulated for quite some time. That took us the entire day which wasn't really in the plans, because we wanted to go to the mexican side, Chetumal, to purchase some stuff for Rafiq.
After most the cleaning had took place, i decided to fry up about half pound of bacon which went down good with a nice cold corona or sol, whichever it was. Really hit the spot. Then we ordered a xl pizza with all the meat toppings, pineapple and mushrooms. Was pretty good too.
Then Sunday we had lunch at my parents with other family members. After we ate we decided to go to the pool and relax for the remainder of the day. It was on this day that Rashidah learned to swim on her own. Being so confident on her first day, that she told me,
"Just get out, get out daddy, don't hold me!"
was really cool seeing swim from one side of the pool to the other...as her confidence grew..she wanted to go more in the deeper areas of about 9 feet or so, however, not being able to take good care of her in such deep water i decided not to..due to my shoulder problem. Still haven't quite learn how to pop my shoulder back in place if it ever did come out of its socket when we're in remote areas.
Later on that same evening we met Gary and his family, who were pretty cool...we sat down and ate and had a really nice conversation, getting to know one another etc. They seemed to like the atmosphere of being in Belize and not so much in an American setting as they were used to. We ended the night short at about 8:30 pm because helwa wasn't feeling too good and she was drenched and couldn't change. Although she wasn't planning on swimming she couldn't help it once we were there at the pool...lol...all in all it was a fun filled, quality family time spent together. Looking forward to lots more

This post makes me hungry. Must say am learning a lot from you guys. Much appreciated.
I haven't been to Chetumal for sometime now. I have been planning to go there for months now, with no results. Hopefully this coming weekend I will go, need to see that Iron Man Movie.
Hanging out with the family sounds cool, but since I spend most of my time at home with the family I don't see the need to.
It was a wonderful weekend indeed...and Rashidah is quite the little fish with her little floaties. They do grow up fast.
