Carnival playdates with friends

Little one losing teeth right and left

Rob's the best, bringing home fresh bagels from the USofA

and olives :)

still puzzled over the Brasilian obsession over palm hearts

Rob and Aubrey mastering the table top challenge

and they did it!!

Heart hair day at school this week

Thankful to have my kitchen helper today

Fun week for Madison! With school being out for the whole week of carnival this brave girl got to have her wisdom teeth removed. She was a trooper and after about a week was back on her feet.

Loving my garden harvest this week

and more beautiful Brasilian skies

My two littles

Part of our break over carnival included cleaning out every closet, room and area

So much stuff, so many donations, super nice to have a jump on all of this in preparation for our upcoming move

Back in February which seems so very log ago Rob and I were able to get away over Valentine's Day weekend

We headed to Belo Horizonte which is just a short plane trip away

Our very first months here we had driven through the city on our way to Rio but not really had a chance to explore the area

The main purpose of this trip was to visit the outdoor museum Inhotim

Inhotim is home to one of the largest foundations of contemporary are in Brasil and one of the largest outdoor art centers in Latin America. It was founded by the former mining magnate Bernardo Paz in 2004 to house his personal art collection but later opened to the public.

So thankful we opted for the golf cart tour of the museum

It's housed on 1924 acres so walking at least a portion of the museum takes all day

some of the more modern pieces of art

portrayal of the destruction of the Amazon rain forest

  

and then the rest of the trip was outdoor adventuring

rock climbing, hiking and enjoying beautiful fresh air

  

I'll never tire of acai bowls!!
