Aryan and Paige in the Sturmer's double stroller for her first stroller ride out.


Tummy time




And on the Johnny Jump Up - I believe left behind by the Bechtels. Aryan has it figured out and enjoys his time on it. Mira thinks it is a carousel for him and keeps twirling him around - he just laughs.

The Hennigans are in town


The inseparable friends with painted faces


Isn't this pretty?



Look daddy, I know how to use chopsticks!



Saturday - Parque del Chico

Mommy asked daddy to bring back some warm clothes for me as I am growing so fast. He proudly brings back this suit that he thought were pyjamas only to be told by mommy that is is a 'snow-suit'! Poor dad - he needs help. But I am warm as toast in these.

At the restaurant in the park.

September 14th


Sister and Brother getting ready for bed


The 3 amigos in the morning playing a game of doggies, which is that Angie and Mira are crawling all over the lawn on all 4's barking and licking like doggies, while David runs from them.



The 3 Amigos in the evening with Tia Betty sitting to watch Madagascar, which was Henry's request for his last night. This quiet sitting lasted only a few minutes. I think Jungle Book is much more their pace.

Andres Carne de Res for Kids

At the end of the day, the kids getting ready for bed. Mira always has to help her baby brother for everything, which is usually preceded by playing and laughing together. He gets very excited when he sees her coming,

At the end of the day, her butterfly face painting was almost worn off, but she insisted on seeing a picture of it, before I could wash her face.

Mira and Angie sit and watch the puppet show, which is all in Spanish, Mira is now very excited to learn with her exposure over the past 5 weeks.



Too much excitement for baby brother makes him very sleepy, he has to nap to escape from all the fun going on around him.



Mira wants to help Angie and her Mommy to make a bracelet, but Mira has already made one.



Mira with her Mariposa face painting and her new doggy that she made with the help of one of the workers here. There are woodworking and claymaking tables for the children to do arts and crafts after the meals. This particular table, you are supposed to be 6 or older, but Mira went and asked the person in charge of the clay table and when he said she was too small, she started to cry and say "I want to make my Troopy doggy". Needless to say, he gave in and look at her smile and of course, her Troopy doggy.



Diego paints Mira's face with her choice of a butterfly, or as she says in Spanish, Mariposa.




Mira's new bracelet that she made at the jewelery making table and her cookie, that she made at the cookie making table.


They have never heard of child sized juice here... She does not seem to mind. Poor Aryan looks on with envy. Our next visit to Colombia, he will be right next to big sister with his own juice.



Aryan tries the bread, since it's the only solid food Mommy lets me teeth on.


Mira eats very well at lunch, they have fish sticks! WOW! Not only do they entertain your kids all day, but they feed you well. The food was great and the presentation is even better.



Mira gets her bracelet tied after she finished beading it at the jewelery craft table.




"I want to push my baby brother"



Angie, David and Mira after rolling their cookie dough and making their cut out cookies to be baked.



David, Angie, Mira and Henry roll their cookie dough.




Angie and Mira pet the cow statue.




Mira and David wondering when the fun will begin and what they could get into until then.
