Notes: The couple has been married for fourteen years. The father is a farmer who primarily plants beans and corn. They appear to be a very united and driven family unit. In the first picture you can see in the upper left corner a part of a metal barrel with wood. That barrel is what they use to cook their food, however the rain is frequently problematic. In the winter the barrel gets wet and they have to wait until it dries to start cooking.
