2 weeks ago the girls had a 4 day holiday from school and Rob had a day off as well

We took advantage of a fairly free weekend and jetted off to Iguacu

Two flights later we landed at the airport and enjoyed just a short 5 minute drive to our hotel The San Martin

We crashed for the night and set out the next morning with our tour guide Chavez

First stop was the bird park which was literally next door to our hotel

It was a fun morning activity and very doable for families and little ones

 Eye spy with my little eye...

Itiquira Falls #2

Rob and I had visited Itiquira Falls with the littles last year during Carnival break

We made a return visit with the whole family this past month and drug along our friend Tom that was visiting for the weekend

We have know Tom and his family for 15ish years

We lived a block down from one another in Fresno back when our twins were just bitties

The Martin family is like family and it was so wonderful to have him join our crazy clan for the weekend 

 What we didn't relazie was due to recents rains the river would be super crazy rushing

Last visit the kids got into the river in their swimsuits and swam in a calm river

This is what the river looked like this visit, there was no swimming

   

 Because it was so wet even approaching the falls soaked you completely

A few of my kids were smart enough to approach in swimsuits

Others didn't and "enjoyed" a wet car ride home

                                                                           

Enjoyed lunching at Dom Fernando's

Thankfully they allowed swimsuits :)

            

 Tired girlies sleeping off their lunch time consumption

Thanks for the visit Tom! 

Cutie pie

  

  

  

This little cutie is almost 4

4 people, she's growing so quick

and getting more of an attitude than I thought she could get

We sure do love her and are grateful she's our little caboose

Couldn't imagine life without her

EAB Champs

Samantha's softball team came home from their competition #1

It had been 25ish years since EAB has been able to bring home the #1 trophy

Needless to say there were lots of smiles and congrats

Her volleyball team came in second after playing 5 rounds and losing by just a few points
