Ashley called her daddy late Sunday night to wish him a Happy Fathers Day.
Well, I guess things have not been going well in Belize. I don't know if I told you but Travis's parents bought all the kids tickets to Belize because they have a friend who has a house down there and they would have a place to stay. Well.... things have not gone well at all.
Their plane landed in Cancun and then they had to take a bus to the border and then catch a comuter plane over to the Island of Belize. Well, Travis's family all decided that wanted to take a cab to the border instead of walk. So the ask the driver how much money. He tells them $200 so they decide to go. They get to the border and he tells them $1000, they argue over the money, police are called and they are threatened to go to jail if they don't pay the $1000. They pay and now are all cranky and tired.
They get to the house, and there are no provisions there what so ever. So they have to go to the store and spend even more money that they didn't plan on. No toilet paper etc... They decide to do some laundry and then they all go out to tour the town, they get back and the hose comes off the washer and water is all over. Everyone's luggage is soaked. More stress and more anger. Ashley has to go to an internet cafe to do school work for college and the family all starts ganging up on her saying she isn't being part of the family. I guess the meaness has been going on for a couple of days so Ashley decides it's best to just take Eden and stay off to herself and not get into the fray of the tension. Well, yesterday it all blows up and Travis's mom rips into Ashley as soon as she gets up and the whole day is spent with mom, the two sister in laws yelling at Ashley. Travis has made plans to leave today with his family to Cancun and stay there and catch the plane back on Wednesday.
Please, please, please pray for their safety traveling alone. They are just kids in a foreign country where everyone thinks Americans are rich. Pray for their safety as they travel with two little kids. Dean and I are so worried about them and their safety. God is good and when two or more are praying for the same thing things happen.

I am so sorry to hear all that! I hope they can end up making the most of what's left of their time there.
