OMG Hailey that sounds scary! I'm glad they have someone watch for people overnight now. Sounds like you are having lots of different experiences! I love checking your journal entries. You are being such a good person getting out in the world and making it better! Love ya!

Hi Hailey, Just thought I would drop you a little note hope things start getting a little better for you. I am sitting here looking at the top of the box and laughing it says expanding my horizons that you are doing with a little twist you might call it. I just got back from taking grandma to the doctor she had a biopsy today and everything went well with the procedure. We are all thinking of you take care,stay safe, and have fun see you when you get home.
LOVE THE RODRIGUEZ GANG!

Hey, I talked to your Dad and you need a zapper or something!!! At least get some kind of spray or something to spray in burglars eyes, and be careful!!! I can't really believe they didn't have more protection set up for you kids there, so be careful!!! I will be glad when you get to the hotel areas this weekend your Dad thought?? I hope it is good, but still be on the alert. Much crime in those areas also, no doubt. Well, now for the fun part?? Sounds like you are working really hard and will be trained to do your folks remodeling projects when you return. Glad you are having some fun also, how is the art there? Do they eat 'oriental' type foods? Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables? Fish? No McDonalds or Pizza Huts?? Have fun, our prayers are with you!!!! Love, Karen, Tim and Katy!

Hi Hailey! I hope you are having a great experience! Still thinking about ya! Not much going on it K-town, just hot and windy. I miss you!

Guess What I clicked the send message without saying a word. Sorry! Can't wait to hear something from you. Hope all is well and that you are having a great time. Remember that we love you and miss you also.

Hailey,
I had no idea that you were headed to the Dominican Republic. You are so brave. I hope that you have a terrific time over there. Keep me posted.

Hailey - Sorry we missed your call today. Josh filled us in on your call yesterday. Glad we packed as many snacks as we did or you might be straving! (HA!) It's been hot here, works been busy, and I've been cleaning out drawers. (I couldn't find something and that started the "big clean-out" effort. Still haven't found what I lost). Thinkin about ya & know ya'll have lots of stories & memories! Take care and remember... no trips ANYWHERE alone! Mom & Dad

Sounds like you had quite a start to your adventure. I admire the way you take off and do things on your own. That is something I could never do and still can't. Will be glad to talk to you this summer when we are back. Hope you have lots of interesting experiences to share. Stay safe and remember that we love you.

Hailey!

No POLICE!?!? AHHH! I hope you are having a blast. I have three more days of school and then i am done for the summer! yeahh! So I will be able to sit at home and think about all the fun things you are doing. Stay safe and take tons of pics (i am sure that you already are) We miss you! Some spanish for you- "No hablo ingles"- I don't speak spanish! and "Ayudame!"- Help me!
I miss our talks already! What are you up to?

Luv K, T, and R
