Jackson is a teen!

by bochnerfamilyadventure

We celebrated Jackson’s 13th Birthday yesterday!  We have found friends in Oaxaca.  Nicole and Steve are traveling by RV in Mexico and have brought their 11 yo son Ryder.  Jack and Ryder have bonded over video games, weird noises and general mayhem.  We have also reconnected with a family we met in Vietnam and in Thailand,  Vaida and Ali, with thier two children Poppy and Johny.  It seems like only yesterday we were meeting for the first time in Hanoi!  It was a festive day full of sugar, good food, monopoly and pinata fun.  I am sure Jack will remember his 13th in Oaxaca!
