San Ignacio, Belize: Real-World Tips For Families

Jungle darkness, hand-cranked ferries, cave canoes, and kids who think bats plus bathroom jokes are hilarious—our San Ignacio chapter of Belize turned family travel into real adventure without losing our sanity. We share the exact moves that kept spirits high, costs reasonable, and safety front and center while still chasing wonder.

We start with the small truths that make a big difference: English is widely spoken, the sun holds a steady 6-to-6 schedule, and U.S. dollars work nearly everywhere. From there, we get practical. Lounge access vs. food court at LAX, the notarized consent letter you need if one parent isn’t traveling, and the realities of the nighttime drive inland—random checkpoints and stealthy speed bumps. Mariposa Jungle Lodge anchors our stay with warm staff, private meals under twinkly lights, and a setting that makes waking up feel like stepping into a treehouse.

Barton Creek Cave becomes our blueprint for kid-ready adventure: guided Jeep rides, canoeing under limestone ceilings, stories that bring Mayan history to life, and a creek swim to cool down. We talk first-aid essentials after a run-in with biting ants and how simple entertainment from the Dollar Tree—Play-Doh, Guess in 10 Games, & coloring—save restaurant waits. Xunantunich Mayan Ruins brings a hand-cranked ferry, an on-the-spot guide, climbable ruins, and a heat strategy that hinges on water, shade, and well-timed ice cream. Along the way, we share real costs for meals in town and how the best moments often arrive between plans.

What ties it all together is Belizean hospitality: guides who add depth, lodge staff who anticipate needs, and a rental car team that rides along to the ferry just to make life easier. The takeaway is simple: San Ignacio delivers big adventure that welcomes kids, preparation, and invites meaningful conversations about culture and history. If you’re planning a family trip to Belize, this guide will help you choose the right tours, pack what matters, and set expectations for heat, terrain, and timing.

Welcome Back And Belize Setup

Melissa 0:00

The guide told my kids that makeup is made out of bat feces. So to this day, when they see me putting on makeup, they tease me that I'm putting bat poop on my face. Welcome back to Organized Chaos. I'm Melissa.

Kathleen 0:22

And I'm Kathleen. Today we're diving into the next episode in our Belize series, all about San Ignacio. The jungle, the caves, the ruins, the driving adventures, and traveling with kids in the middle of nowhere in the best way.

Melissa 0:37

This episode's really about what it's actually like to do the jungle adventures with little kids, what worked, what surprised us, and what we absolutely would do again.

Kids 0:46

Welcome to Organized Chaos.

Melissa 1:00

So before we jump into the daily play-by-play, let's cover a few basics about Belize that surprised us.

Kathleen 1:06

First, Belize is very close to the equator. And for those of you that don't know, the sun rises every day at 6 a.m. and every single day it sets at 6 p.m.

Melissa 1:18

Which is honestly kind of amazing for kids. So there's no dramatic sunset changes, no late night daylight that you have to deal with where the kids are saying, "Wait, it's still light out. Why are we going to bed?" It keeps everyone on a nice rhythm.

Kathleen 1:32

They also speak English in Belize, which made things really easy, especially when traveling with the kids. The next two prevalent languages are Spanish and Belizean Creole. The population is quite diverse.

Melissa 1:45

And they also use the US dollar there. So there's no mental math stress at restaurants about how much things costs. If you do change money, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Belizean dollar at the time that we were there was about one to two. So even that kind of math is something that mentally exhausted parents with fried brains can handle.

Kathleen 2:05

And pro tip if you do end up changing money and you own an iPhone, if you go into the calculator setting, there is a currency exchange button that makes it very easy for you to understand what your bill is going to be at the end of the meal after a few margaritas or uh martinis.

Eating Out With Kids: Hacks

Melissa 2:25

So let's talk restaurants with small kids because this can honestly make or break a trip when you're vacationing.

Kathleen 2:31

Some of our favorite places weren't fancy at all. One restaurant had a field where the kids could look for lizards, another one had a playground next door. Some places literally just had cats wandering around and that was entertainment enough for the kids.

Melissa 2:45

Also, with how many kids that we had at these restaurants and trying to keep them entertained while waiting for food and all of that, we came prepared. So we had Play-Doh, we had this Guess in 10 Game, wigglyworms, coloring books, and we would rotate out the activities for the kids to do during these waiting periods so that it would stay exciting.

Kathleen 3:06

And we shop for all these things at places like the Dollar Tree. If no one knows what the Dollar Tree is, I'm sure there's a dollar store near you, you're sleeping on it, man. Because at the end of the trip, these toys are disgusting. We had these wiggly worms that literally were covered in like hair and lint because they'd been on the floor. There were probably sodas spilled on them. So at the end of the trip, you don't feel bad throwing them away. Or if you lose pieces, it's it's no big deal because you got them for $1.25 at the dollar store.

Airport Lounge Vs Food Court

Kathleen 3:39

Let's rewind to the travel day. Flying with kids anywhere is always an adventure.

Melissa 3:44

Totally agree. Kathleen and I and our families live in Southern California. We flew out of LAX. We had kind of a hilarious pre-flight split situation. Kathleen's family was living their best lounge life.

Kathleen 3:58

And Melissa's family was out in the food court eating whatever they could grab. We have lounge access because we have the Amex Platinum card, but you can also buy day passes at some airport lounges. The difference in each of our family's experiences pre-flight shows the huge value of lounge access. It provides a quiet area with snacks and bathrooms and places for the kids to chill. At the Amex Platinum Lounge in LAX, they have a whole room dedicated to the kids where we could turn on Bluey. Each of us parents could go grab food for the respective kids and we could chill there in a quiet environment before we got on the plane. I would say, all in, if you wanted to buy a pass, it's probably $50 per parent. And you're going to spend $100 at the food court in an airport anyway. It's just so expensive.

Melissa 4:50

Yeah, I totally agree. Don't check my numbers on this, but it felt like we spent the same amount of money on food and drinks out in the food court as those day lounge passes would have

Melissa 5:00

cost us.

Kathleen 5:00

Important note for parents: if you're traveling to Belize and one parent is staying behind, you must have a notarized consent letter from the non-traveling parent. I tried to check the bags in without my husband and they asked for this letter, which at the time I had no idea about. So word of the wise, before you go, make sure you have this. Otherwise, they won't let you on the plane.

Melissa 5:22

But it ended up being okay, right? Because both of you are traveling. So you just had to make sure that your husband was there to approve it.

Kathleen 5:28

Yes, it ended up being fine. Parker went to park the car, and he showed up to check the bags with me a few minutes later. There was no issue. But there's a huge issue with child trafficking concerns in Belize. And so immigration is very strict on this.

Melissa 5:43

Right. So thank goodness you were both traveling together. So it wasn't a problem. But had he not been there, you kind of would have been screwed.

Kathleen 5:50

We wouldn't have been able to fly. They wouldn't have let us into the country.

Melissa 5:53

Well, thank goodness you brought your husband along.

Kathleen 5:56

Thank God Parker showed up. Okay, so once we landed, we drove from the airport to Mariposa Lodge, which is in the Cayo District, and it's about two hours away from Belize City, where the airport is. And the drive I would call memorable for some of us.

Melissa 6:13

Didn't your family get stopped by the police, or did I imagine that?

Kathleen 6:17

Yes.

The Drive Inland And Checkpoints

Kathleen 6:18

So as an FYI, there are random police stops as you drive from the airport inland. We were about 20 minutes away from the airport, and I saw a policeman in the middle of the road, like waving a light at me. And so they stopped us and asked for our driver's license, which I handed over. And then he looked at it and uh sent us on our way. But it was a little concerning at first, but no big deal. Uh, however, Melissa, didn't your family not have Wi-Fi or GPS or any sort of map system going on?

Melissa 6:53

Yeah. So to this day, I believe that I paid for some sort of international plan for our vacation. Our data, meaning GPS, though, had major issues. Thank goodness we had printed out a map, like the good little millennial travelers that we are, or I'm not really sure how we would have made it to Mariposa, especially since we had lost you guys pretty quickly on the road due to your police checkpoint. Also, on that drive, we found out really quickly that there were no stoplights. Instead, there were these huge speed bump traps; so you would just kind of fly over them if you didn't see them. So yeah, it was very dark. We were using our flashlights

Night Drive Challenges And Speed Bumps

Melissa 7:33

on our phone with our printed out map. Let's just say that it was an adventure just to get to there.

Kathleen 7:40

Meanwhile, our family was just belting Defying Gravity from the wicked soundtrack because it had just come out. No idea that other people were struggling in their cars on this drive. But I do remember these speed traps because the first time we hit one, we literally launched the rental car. Like I'm surprised that we didn't get a bill for damages to the undercarriage. So heads up, there are no stoplights, but you got to be watching out for this the uh speed traps.

Melissa 8:10

Yeah, definitely. So

Arrival At Mariposa Jungle Lodge

Melissa 8:12

after about a two-hour drive in the dark, we pulled off onto a narrow dirt road and arrived at Mariposa Jungle Lodge.

Kathleen 8:20

Let's set the scene here. It's dark. We're in the jungle, there's no street lights. We pull off into this random driveway thinking, are we even in the right place? Luckily, we were greeted so warmly. We parked our cars. There was a full dinner spread laid out for our families, complete under twinkly lights with cocktails and fresh squeezed juice for the kids. And the scenery is breathtaking.

Melissa 8:47

We were the only guests at the resort for the first two nights. So it felt like this magical private jungle resort that was just catered and set up just for us, which was the most incredible memory I have from the trip, especially after this really stressful drive, a long travel day with kids, everything. It was so perfect.

Kathleen 9:09

Yes, we were all fried and I think a little tired from the drive. And so arriving to this beautiful private dinner was just the great end to a really stressful travel day. The staff at Mariposa Lodge were just wonderful. Leo

Morning In The Jungle: Magic And Bugs

Kathleen 9:25

and Robbie were the absolute standouts. They took care of everything for us while we were there.

Melissa 9:31

They were seriously amazing. Going back to this, we arrived in the dark. When we woke up in the morning, oh my goodness, unreal.

Kathleen 9:41

Uh we woke up, we walked outside, there was a hammock in our backyard. The girls got in the hammock, there's butterflies flying around, birds chirping, tropical palm trees all around. You could hear monkeys, howler monkeys whooping in the trees. It was so cool to wake up to.

Melissa 10:00

It really felt like we were waking up in this beautiful tree house. Our kids loved it. I'll be honest though, it wasn't all sunshine and roses. There were bugs, scorpions, spiders, all the little creepy crawlies that you couldn't see when you went to sleep at night. Oh, they were there. We were for sure in nature. But little kids, bugs, scorpions, that honestly, I think made it more fun for them.

Kathleen 10:24

Yeah, the staff were like, "Don't pick up the rocks, because there might be scorpions under the rocks." And so that really freaked out, I think, some of the little kids, but it scared them so much that they actually listened for once. Okay, so day two, after a lovely private breakfast in our private jungle lodge served by Leo and Robbie and the Mariposa, I just can't get over how great it was there. Uh, we decided to go to Barton

Heading To Barton Creek Cave

Kathleen 10:52

Creek Cave Tour. And this was actually arranged by the Mariposa for us. So we put on our bathing suits, we packed a dry bag, snacks, and water. I cannot emphasize how much water to bring. Like bring water. It's so hot and the kids are thirsty. So make sure to bring water.

Melissa 11:10

Yes, pack a lot of water. The guides also had a lot of water. I think we still went through it all. So pack even more water than you would think. The Barton Creek Cave Tour guides were the ones who drove us each in a little Jeep per family or a shuttle per family. And then they also just provided us with so much history and information about what we were driving through as we were going. We learned that these areas were populated by Mennonites who began settling in Belize in the late 1950s, migrating from Mexico and Canada for agricultural land and religious freedom. It was like this nice historical tour where they just provided us with so much information. They were so knowledgeable. They were wonderful. I highly recommend them.

Kathleen 11:54

And it was nice to give some context around why Belize is so culturally diverse because there's, like I mentioned in the beginning, they speak so many different languages. So they really gave us an understanding about who settled and when and where

Off-Road Journey And Safety

Kathleen 12:10

within the uh the country. I felt like that drive from Mariposa to Barton Creek was like Indiana Jones, but IRL.

Melissa 12:19

Oh my gosh, yeah. It felt like we were totally off-roading. Even though we were on a road, it still felt like off-roading. We literally forded a river at one point, which thank goodness we were there during the season we were in, because the water was kind of up to the tires of our car, but our guide told us that the water can go even higher. And sometimes they have to like keep the windows closed to make sure it doesn't splash on you. It was an adventure.

Kathleen 12:47

Yeah, I would say if you're going to Barton Creek, do not do it by yourself. Even if you get a four-wheel drive from the rental place, it's not advised. Sometimes I'm the person that says, "Oh, we can do it ourselves." Having gone on this trip to Barton Creek, I would never do it by myself. So just hire the guide.

Melissa 13:06

And if you went by yourself, you wouldn't learn all the history.

Kathleen 13:09

About the Mennonites.

Melissa 13:10

Exactly.

Inside The Cave: History And Bats

Kathleen 13:12

When we were researching which excursion to do in San Ignacio, Barton Creek kept coming to the top of the list. The kids we were traveling with were between the ages of three and seven, and there's lots of different jungle experiences you can select from. However, a lot of them are not suitable for three and four-year-olds. They involve swimming, wading through tight crawl spaces in the caves. It just seemed kind of scary and advance for the little ones. But Barton Creek was perfect for younger kids.

Melissa 13:40

Yep. I feel like Barton Creek was the perfect decision for our families. So the caves were really dark. We wore headlights so that we could see what was going on. But then at one point, deep inside the cave, we all turned off the lights and kind of made little spooky noises. And the kids were so delighted. They were giggling with glee. We saw bats in the caves. We saw ancient pottery, evidence of Mayan rituals. Our guides told us so many different stories about the history of the caves. But despite all this history, one of the only stories that has really stuck in my kids' brains, for better or for worse, is that the guide told my kids that makeup is made out of bat feces. So to this day, when they see me putting on makeup, they tease me that I'm putting bat poop on my face. It's crazy.

Kathleen 14:32

Oh my God. I didn't hear that story when we were there.

Melissa 14:35

Yes. Um, I can't bring myself to look up whether it's true or not that that is what makeup is made out of. But I'm just gonna believe it's an urban legend and not true at all. Otherwise, I'll be way too grossed out every time I'm getting ready for a girl's night out or a date night. But anyway, stories true or not from the guides have lived on in my household. So after canoeing in the caves, we

Creek Swim, Ant Bites, First Aid

Melissa 15:00

all hopped out of the boats and we took a dip in the creek, which was super fun too.

Kathleen 15:04

It was really cool. There were these little fishies in the water that nibbled at our feet, and the kids thought that that was so fun. But while the fishes were cute, just a heads up, make sure the kids are aware of their surroundings. My oldest daughter sat down against the base of a tree to take a rest and sat in a nest of the biggest, hungriest biting ants. The poor thing had bites all over her hands and her legs, and it burned and hurt. Luckily, we were able to cool the bites down by going in the creek water. And she did have a bit of a rash later, but we were fine in about 24 hours. This reminds me make sure to pack a bag with first aid medications so you don't have to go to the pharmacy while you're away.

Melissa 15:49

Yep. Think meds like Benadryl, Motrin, Tylenol, but also talk to your doctor about getting a Z pack and Cipro for traveler's diarrhea or any upper respiratory illnesses. I'd also recommend bringing drops for pink eye if you can get your hands on them, which that was an issue that we experienced in another country on a different trip

Pool Time And Dinner In Town

Melissa 16:10

where all the kids collectively got pink eye.

Kathleen 16:14

We all got pink eye. It was not just the children. So don't blame it on the kids, Melissa. Okay. So after the cave, it was time to go back to the Mary Pocent for naps and pool time. The pool was also pretty great. It had a full bar, TV, games like ping pong. And the best part is that it was nestled amongst the trees and it was all ours for the whole day.

Melissa 16:37

Yep. It felt like you were in a jungle oasis while you were swimming in that pool. It was stunning. As we mentioned before, we did a partial meal plan with Mariposa Jungle Lodge. So some of our meals were eaten there and planned out. And some of the meals we wanted the flexibility to eat out and kind of adventure away. So we asked the hotel to recommend a local spot. We ended up at El Paso. The hotel arranged a driver into town for us. El Paso had a full menu. The chicken fingers and the chicken burritos were the crowd pleasers in our group. It was delicious.

Kathleen 17:12

What I liked about Mariposa Lodge is that when we asked for recommendations, they sent us to the local town that one of the people who worked at the Mariposa

Xunantunich Ruins With Kids

Kathleen 17:20

lived in and what grew up in. So we got to meet their family and friends, and we were having dinner with the locals. So we weren't at some tourist restaurant with that didn't have authentic Belizean cuisine.

Melissa 17:31

I absolutely agree. It was awesome to meet the driver's family, See his house, all of that. So while we described Mariposa in that first night, dining under the twinkly lights in this private oasis, El Paso had the same type of charm. They had twinkly lights. The kids were out catching frogs in the fields while we were waiting for our food. Us parents were just having a beer unwinding, listening to music. I was curious and I went back to receipts to look up this memorable meal. And it was only actually around 60 bucks per family, including alcohol, milkshakes for the kids, entrees, and dessert. You really can't beat that price tag.

Kathleen 18:11

Yeah, I felt like the experience was very authentic, and we got to experience true Belizean culture through that dinner that second night. Day three was the I am going to butcher this, Melissa. I couldn't say it when we were in Belize, and I do not think I'm gonna say it right now. I think it's the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. Am I close?

Melissa 18:32

I don't know, but let's go with that. And we are so deeply apologetic if we are saying that wrong. Check the show notes for the correct spelling. Look up the correct pronunciation online. We're sorry, but that's what we'll go with.

Kathleen 18:50

Okay, I'm gonna try this one more time, Melissa. Xunantunich is what I think it's called. So we went and saw the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins.

Melissa 18:59

So this was about an hour-long drive away for us from where we were staying at Mariposa.

Heat, Safety, And Epic Views

Melissa 19:05

But unlike Barton Creek, this was on paved roads. So it was a really easy drive. We decided to drive our own cars to allow for flexibility in how long we were going to stay at the ruins. While we were there, it was really, really hot. And we just didn't know what to expect as far as how long the kids would last at the ruins, how interested they would be, honestly, how interested we would be. So we sort of wanted the flexibility of our own cars to be able to leave when we were ready for the next thing for the day. At the end of the drive, too, there was this fun little ferry that you get to take across the creek, which is a really cool experience for all of us, too.

Kathleen 19:46

Yeah, and it wasn't a motorized ferry. It was literally cranked by hand. So if you can imagine, it was a very rudimentary path of travel from one side of the paved road to where the ruins were. We also opted to just hire a guide at the ferry crossing. It was only about $40 US per family. And if we had selected for the option where they picked us up at Mariposa, it probably would have been two or three times that plus tip. So this was more economical option for us, just in general. And as Melissa said, we weren't quite sure how into it the kids would be. And so we didn't want to spend a ton of money on this guided tour if they were going to be there for a whole five minutes.

Local Lunch And Costs

Melissa 20:32

Yes. We did have this tour guide, which I think the adults really enjoyed. But honestly, I think the kids were mostly just excited to be climbing on the ruins, which to my surprise, they were actually allowed to do. I've been to visit ruins in other countries and there's no climbing allowed. But here we were allowed to walk up the stairs, stand on top of these, take pictures. It was really cool.

Kathleen 20:57

Disclaimer: all the ruins are different sizes. Some of them are really high, but there's no railing. So if you're taking young kids up to the top, you just have to be very conscientious that they know that they can go over the edge and really hurt themselves. But I thought it was the coolest thing. And one of my favorite memories of going to the ruins was when I was at the top of the highest one when my older daughter looked at me and she said, "Mommy, this is the best trip ever." I think I had tears in my eyes. She definitely didn't, but I was had a little single solitary tear rolling down my cheek.

Melissa 21:31

You look like you have tears in your eyes right now recounting that story.

Kathleen 21:34

It was the best.

Melissa 21:35

So as Kathleen said, there were a little bit of safety concerns, and we did have

Lodge Logistics And Stellar Staff

Melissa 21:40

some younger kids. So for those highest ones, we actually broke up into groups and I took the little kids back to the entrance to rest while Kathleen was having this magical moment with her daughter and the older kids. Now that we're well past the trip, though, I'll totally admit that I was happy to volunteer for the job to go back to the front, even though it sounds like you had a really great moment at the top. It was so hot that day. I was sweaty and red-faced. And it was not the worst job to be the one to shuttle the kids back to the front and start getting waters and ice creams and cooling ourselves down.

Kathleen 22:21

Yeah, my kids keep talking about how hot it was in Belize at the Mayan Ruins. They they make sure to remind me. It was like you don't remember the Mayan Ruins, but you remember how hot it was there. We get back to the car, we get some water, we get some ice cream, everybody cools off. We were

Weather Realities And Timing

Kathleen 22:40

just so sweaty that it might behoove you to bring a change of clothes. So then we asked our guide where we should go for lunch because he was from the local town and he recommended Cenaida's Belizean Food, which is in downtown San Ignacio. The fried shrimp was so good, it was on the menu twice. I had the chicken and gravy, which was delicious. I think everybody had order envy. And just to give listeners a sense of the cost for lunch in town, this meal was only about 50 bucks, including a round of adult beverages, food for all the kids. They had each had their own individual meals, and each of our parents us parents had our own meals. And I think we even had appetizers and desserts. So it was

Bird Tower Trail And Pack-Up

Kathleen 23:20

very economical.

Melissa 23:21

Side note, I think that we mentioned in a prior episode that both of our families had to move units at Mariposa in the middle of our stay. So this was the day that we needed to change rooms. The staff again at Mariposa, we just cannot say enough good things about. They moved all our stuff into the new units while we were out and about. So when we got back for nap time, everything was already set up for us. Bravo to Mariposa.

Kathleen 23:47

Thank you again for the service. Right. Robbie, Leo, thank you. We love you. We wish we could live there with you forever, but we had to leave.

Melissa 23:56

I'll just say, just to give context on all of these hot weather disclaimers, I've only been to Belize once. That was your first time in Belize, too, Kathleen. So we were there in April. So I'm not sure what the weather is like in other months, but in

Daylight Drive And Culture Talks

Melissa 24:10

April it's hot.

Kathleen 24:11

Well, and I would say they were going through a heat spell during that time we were in the jungle. So it was unseasonably warm, but just in general, it's hot in Belize. It's nice to be near a body of water, though, for sure.

Melissa 24:25

Absolutely. Speaking of bodies of water, the next day was our departure day to head to our next destination to the beach. My husband and I divided and conquered the travel day logistics. So after we all had breakfast together at Mariposa, I went back to our unit to finish packing up our luggage, and he took the kids out to Mariposa's bird tower trail to get the wiggles out.

Kathleen 24:49

I heard there was a bird tower, but we didn't go check it out.

Melissa 24:52

Yeah, they said it was really cool. The boys loved it. They got to walk on this trail, climb up a ladder, and bird watch. It was really cool for them.

Kathleen 25:01

Was there a platform?

Melissa 25:02

Yes, there was a platform.

Kathleen 25:04

So then it was time to check out and start our drive back to Belize City. As we mentioned, when we drove from Belize City to San Ignacio, it was nighttime. So driving during the day gave the kids a chance to ask questions about the towns and the homes they saw, opening up conversations about how people live differently around

Rental Car Assist And Kindness

Kathleen 25:23

the world.

Melissa 25:23

And then, oh my goodness, rental car magic. So we arrived at our rental car drop-off point, and the worker just hopped in our car and drove us to the ferry so that we didn't have to find a taxi, unpack our car, repack a whole new car before going to the ferry station. So just shout out to Crystal Auto and Hertz Rental Cars. They had the best service and made everything so seamless for us just in that little moment. It was great.

Kathleen 25:51

I think it speaks to just the culture in Belize. Everybody is just so warm and welcoming. And now that I'm thinking about it, everyone from the Barton Creek Cave Tours, from Mariposa Lodge, to the dinners and lunches we had out, we were never greeted

Snacks, Early Ferry, What’s Next

Kathleen 26:05

with any sort of animosity because we are travelers from a foreign country. Everyone welcomed us with open arms and we really felt at home with the Belizean culture.

Melissa 26:14

And we are two families with little kids. So we are loud and there's a lot of energy and no one seemed bothered by the makeup of our group at all either.

Kathleen 26:25

Yes, they were all really welcoming to kids for sure. After our wonderful rental car company has dropped us off at the ferry station, we grabbed some snacks because there's local snack bars on your way onto the ferry. And then we were able to hop on an earlier boat.

Melissa 26:40

And that's where we'll leave you, right before the ferry ride to the islands, which we'll discuss in a future episode. Get ready for golf carts, beaches, and island life with kids. Thanks for listening to Organize Chaos. See you next time.

Kids 26:52

Thanks for listening. See you on our next adventure.
