EASTER

Easter was a lot of fun, again, this year!  We went to the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the community Church here.  Adalyn got to do a few crafts, read some books, and of course, hunt for eggs! Then, that evening, after choosing just the right flowers for her Easter nest, she got it ready for the Easter Bunny.  She still wasn't sure what she wanted him to bring at nest building time, but was thrilled the next morning when she found what he left for her.  After church and lunch, we came home and had our own egg hunt.  Good Times!

NEW HELMET

We weren't 100% sure if the horse riding lessons would stick (who are we kidding) so we invested in a new helmet.  It may look a little big, but there is a lot of padding in there with room to grow.  She was so proud and wouldn't leave the shop to start her lesson untill she had that new helmet!

DOGS

I have been wanting to get a picture of the dog walkers in Argentina but seem to NEVER have the camera when I come across one.  Well, I had the car one day and on my way from picking A up from school, I lucked out!  Had the camera and actually had to stop in the middle of the road to let the guy cross the street with all 8 of man's best friend!  These guys are out every morning and we have counted up to 15 dogs being walked at one time.  This is an actual profession in Argentina!  AMAZING!!

SCUBA

I attended my first Vacation Bible School the last week in January and had so much fun!  The theme was SCUBA-super cool underwater bible adventure.  I learned so much and did a superb job!  One of the teachers told mom, "She knew the entire story of Jonah!  She was finishing the sentences for me."  I even volunteered to say the prayer before snack time.  Mom and Dad are so proud! (Mom has some video of me singing our songs, but it won't download for some reason...she's working on it)

Estancia La CinaCina

This past weekend we went to an Estancia called La CinaCina located about an hour away from Buenos Aires in San Antonio de Areco.  We had asado, played at the playground, went for a swim, watched some Argentine dancing and the Guacho exhibitions.  The video is an exhibition of how the natives view the relationship between man and the horses.  It was very spiritual and amazing!  This man performed at La Rural the biggest livestock exhibition in Argentina.  (we went last year)

Okay...after an eventful vacation in Texas we are now back.  The next few postings will be out of order but oh well....at least we're updating!  2011 is off to a great start and the weather has been fabulous here.  It's been just right....great swimming/walking/biking weather.  Mom is hoping to get the blog updated in the next couple of weeks with a few pics of what we did while in Texas. Here are the newest pictures from 2011!Enjoy!
