Last week we had a lovely visit to see Abuelos, Tios, and Primos!
La Xarisofi did marvelously on the plane--slept the whole way there.
Of course, that might be due to the fact that we had a 6am flight, had been awake since 4am, and hadn't gone to bed until 1am (X included). We rented our car without mishap (a first), when to IHOP for breakfast, did some shopping in El Paso and then headed to the Mexico side of the border.
Febe is the next oldest after X. She's just 5 months older, but pretty big!
(That's her getting held by her older sister, next to Xaritas).
One of the items on our shopping list in El Paso was a grill. We got a small one and brought it down with us, so we could have a carne asada on Friday. However, this meant that Thursday we watered the dirt to ensure there would be less dust when we were all outside on Friday. The best part about watering the dirt? Playing in the hose.
X tried her first taste of carne asada, but still preferred eating an avocado.
And playing in the dirt.
Oh, and playing in the trash.
Mama-snuggles for a not-so-happy girl after she threw dirt in her eyes and had to get them washed out.
I was washing the dishes later, with X sitting on the side of the sink. She was pretty happy to kick and play in the water (our sink at home doesn't have this kind of space--this was a new adventure). It turned out to be a great idea to just take off her clothes and wash her the same tim I washed the dishes.
A good adventure! Next up: Mission trip in 2 weeks!!
