We got to spend the entire afternoon/evening with 3 of our amaaazing tias...these ladies go above and beyond to care for me, and I don't know what I would do without their sweet friendship!
Tia Adelaida & Tia Techy invited Alison and I out to their part of town - Chulla (sp?) - to spend time playing soccer, volleyball, and basketball with their families...it turned into quite the event, as Tia Rosi wanted to join in and bring five of our older kids along, too. Matteo didn't want to miss out, either. SO. MUCH. FUN.
Sheep, cows, puppies...we saw it all!
An unexpected surprise: after Tia Rosi took our little guys back home for the evening, Tia Adelaida had us over to her house for games and such a nice dinner. Afterwards we walked all over their beautiful farm and got pictures with just about all of the crops! :)

We visited each of the 3 tia's houses, and at Tia Techy's, we had a little petting zoo experience! This child was beside herself all afternoon...having a blast.
Getting a lesson on guinea pigs from Tia Techy :)
There's a great court right next door to Tia Rosi's house, and we spent all afternoon here playing nonstop tournaments until everybody was about ready to collapse...it was so great to get to play with all of the tias' kids, too!

Our wonderful hostess and her sweet kids
This was definitely a highlight of Bolivian life so far! Gracias, Tias!
Oh man, I miss Tia Ade so much. So, so, so much. I wanted to get out to her house, but I worked most days she didn't so it just didn't work out :( But I'd met her kids before and LOVED them. Please give her a hug from me!
