Winter break

Dia del amigo en Casi Miro

Mati never misses a beat

                               Time for a break for mom and pop as well and we're off to Uruguay.

kids trying to communicate with los abuelos who follow directly behind us so that we get busted for speeding not them! haha We actually made it this trip without any tickets.  Jorge got one ticket for not having a fire extinguisher in the car.  We were celebrating that it wasn't us for once:)

 The kids are getting way better at traveling though the inevitable question of "How much longer" is still echoing in my head!

First things first: The Hotel Safe

then the pool

 FAVORITE PICTURE FROM OUR TRIP (I don't get the credit for taking it)

                                                And the city slickers didn't catch a thang

QT with Abi

 And he knows who to find when he's hungry!! hehe

                                                       
                                                   
                                                       Pili waiting to get her hands on a ball

                  I do dress her appropriately but note that she changes outfits at least 5 times a day and the heels and princess "nightgown" are irresistible for her

Always the right time for bouncin around

 proof I was on this vacation and yes Mati still picks his boogers in PUBLIC, AND my kids do NOT like popcorn but they always want to give it an attempt; hand ready cause I know they are going to spit it out.  I think eventually they will learn to like it especially when they get to the US where it's so salty and buttery!!!!

 Dancing machines

HORSEBACK

And Mati finally gets to ride solo

and then there's my little cowgirl ........

 After almost having a head on collision with a semi I decided that I couldn't take the stress of horseback riding. YES FOR ME IT IS VERY STRESSFUL!

The castle on the mini golf course was the hangout spot

This trip the kids made great friends with Juliana and Agustin who happen to live right around the block from where Mabel works.  Matias has been  missing Agus  a lot since our return and fortunately Mabel was able to bring them over to play today.

FRIENDS

Pili crashed in the kids club.

She wasn't feeling well towards the end of the week
