Uncle Mike

This is an exciting week at the Garcia household because "Uncle Mike" came to visit! The kids have been waiting anxiously for his arrival and have not been disappointed. Owen loves having a roommate for a change, especially a roommate as fun as this one.

We first met Mike in Santiago, where he was working as our mission accountant for two years. Shortly after making his acquaintance, he offered to watch our kids "anytime" since he has quite a few younger brothers and sisters back in the States and missed being around them. (Little did he know what he was getting into!)

Our kids loved the times "Uncle Mike" came to babysit and since Pedro and Mike also hit it off famously, he has become a special family friend. Soon he will be returning to the States and we have been harassing inviting him for months to come to Iquique before he leaves. We’re glad he finally was able to make it! Stay tuned for pictures as we show him around the sights and scenes of Iquique.

(P.S. In case you are wondering, yes, he really is that tall. He creates quite a stir in Chile. Yet another reason he and Owen make a great team!)
