Summer

I am just going to give a few highlights of our summer 2011, and all the fun stuff we did. We had family visit, beach house, and lots of playing. Stay posted as I am almost up to date.


Lima just opened this place called Divercity, that is really fun for kids. They have stations where the kids can go and learn about natural gas, vets office, chef school, hospital, firefighting where they get to get in a small fire truck with uniforms and put out a pretend fire. They even get to go to driving school to get their license and test drive cars for Toyota. So here is Zander and his friend Lilly getting ready to go change gas on the gas truck. It is basically like a mini city where the kids participate in everything. We had a blast and the boys can't wait to go again.

Lilly and Zander waiting so patiently to drive after going to driving school.

Z man driving, but had to stop for some gas!

Here is the Coopster with Iris and Sara. Iris is the girl that has been with me for the last 2 years helping in my home, she is the best, but has just left because she had her baby a couple of weeks ago.(She will be back though yupeee!) Sara, the other girl is new to our home and we love her as well. She is super sweet and really good with the boys. What a team I will have when Iris gets back. I am so grateful for the help that we are able to have in our home, and that we were able to find such magnificent women to be a part of our family.

Just a shot of Cooper checking out these goats. In Peru they have Granja's(farms)everywhere. This one is at the mall, they have a bunch of animals the kids can pet and feed, and Cooper was just mesmorized with all the animals. Brock and Z love to feed the baby pigs bottles they just go crazy when they see them walking over with the bottles.

As I had mentioned in another post we rented a beach house for the summer. (Summer here is Dec-march) So here are the boys playing with Iris and Lucy digging holes.

To top off the summer we got the chance to have uncle Joe come and stay with us for 3 months while he did his internship here in Peru. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun my 3 guys had with uncle Joe. In this picture uncle Joe is letting the boys draw all over him with markers. What a trooper right? The funny thing is it was his idea. He is so good with my boys and it was so much fun to have him here with us. In fact one day Zander thought it would be nice to make a special drink for unlce Joe for lunch that consisted of: limon, water, sugar, chunks of bananas and Ice cubes. It looked so disgusting but Z was so proud of what he had made and so when Joe got home he was presented with this drink. Much to my delight Joe drank it and made a big deal about it and Z was so excited. His own dad would not drink it, so big props to Uncle Joe.
