Tio, Tio, Tio!!

Ana Maria and Tio Jose bonded this week together! She always wanted to bring him books, have him hold her while she rested her chin on his shoulder, and have him take her for walks outside. It was really fun with him and Tia Adriana being here this week! We miss you already!

Devil's Den State Park

Another exciting day for us was going to Devil's Den State Park! We enjoyed a whole morning there walking trails and playing in a creek. A friend of mine, Ambre, loaned us her hiking backpack for Ana Maria which was great. Tio Jose and I took turns carrying her and it was fine. I think Eduardo and I need to get one to be able to take Ana Maria more often. Without it, it is nearly impossible to take Ana Maria on the trails. We can't wait to go back soon!


Jose took this picture for Lee!! (We're always thinking of YOU!)

Tio and Tia with Ana Maria :)

Tio and Tia went in the cave and we had snacks :)

My turn to carry Ana Maria, it wasn't bad at all.

Being brave in between the rocks.

This cave was called "Ice Box" because it was so cold inside.

We were hoping to find a waterfall and we did!

Tio looking "cool!"

Laura Sofia checking out the water :)

Afterwards we played in the creek skipping rocks

My sweet baby girl!

NCAA Track & Field Championships

After Fun City we went to the NCAA Track & Field Championships. We really enjoyed watching all of the athletes compete. It was fun also for Laura Sofia and I to pick out all the university teams and try to find "Miami, Kentucky, Alabama and Arkansas." We have a history with each one, haha!

Fun City

I know you must have been wondering what we were doing!! We haven't blogged because we have been SO busy, having SO much fun! Wednesday we went to Fun City Pizza and played all morning. Laura Sofia and Ana Maria had fun running from game to game, played in the ball pit and climbed in the maze. I'm sure Laura Sofia will want to go there again when she comes back to visit.

A Fun Day in the Sun!

This morning we woke up and wondered what to do on such a beautiful day. Adriana and I thought about playing tennis, the men wanted to work out and I knew the girls would like to swim in a pool so we went to....Fayetteville Athletic Club. We played tennis, worked out, swam in the pool, and had so much fun! Tomorrow it is suppose to rain so we will have to be inside. Good thing we played outside today!


Learning how to back float with papa!

Swimming...

Smiling and having a good time in the pool :)

She loves the pool with Eduardo, not necessarily me...

Even getting her hair wet under the mushroom she loves with him.

Blueberry Picking

Day Two: We all went to a blueberry picking farm today! It was beautiful weather and delicious blueberries. We all ate TONS as we were picking, but Ana Maria won the prize for eating and picking the most! She was serious about picking but was smiling the whole time with Laura Sofia helping her. Afterwards we went to "Oops" store and shopped a little and now we are home. Laura Sofia and the men have camp this afternoon so we are resting for that. Who knows what we'll do later?? We'll keep you posted! :)


Can you see how many blueberries she has in the corner of her mouth? haha!

Picking, picking, picking!

Eating, eating, eating!

Eating even green ones :)

She took her job serious!

"Where's the bucket??"

Laura Sofia and Ana Maria posing in the sun :)

Our buckets were almost full...

It's FULL! It took us a long time to get a gallon worth but we did it!

Tulsa Zoo

Tio Jose, Tia Adriana and Laura Sofia arrived this morning from Miami, FL! We are so excited they are here for the week and we have so many fun things planned.
Our first day...the Tulsa Zoo! We enjoyed a picnic lunch, spent the day at the zoo, came home and swam in the pool that they brought for Ana Maria and ate a yummy taco dinner. We are tired but looking forward to another fun day tomorrow...we'll keep you posted!
