Feliz Dia del Nino!

Happy Kids' Day!
All  of our kids from House 1, House 2, and House 3 celebrating at a day out at the park. I think it might be the first time ever when a group photo was attempted and not a single one of our kids cried!
 A miracle. For sure.

So, Dia del Nino, (Kids' Day,) was last week and is a pretty big deal here in Bolivia. It's a day with all sorts of fun activities for the kids' at their schools, special treats for the kids, and park outings are the big thing. It's a pretty neat celebration. We started off the morning with some donations of toys for everybody at the house.

Our kindergartener had a big day at school, too. She dressed up and had all sorts of fun activities at school.



Then the real fun began...we took alllllllll of our kids from all 3 houses to a big park outing...it was wild. We had all sorts of games, snacks, and fun.

Since the triplets came along, we might have been an infant seat short...so this happy camper got to hang out in a bath tub...! She def didn't mind. HA

Let the games begin.
Team Green coaches - Elena and I got to team up to put this day together - which was SO fun. She's kind of incredible.

Happy representatives from Team Blue

Team Green ready to rock

Woooo! Waiter relay




And the crowd goes wild

Dress-up relay

Foot race...woooo! Boys' heat

The girls' turn

This picture makes me laugh a lot. This 2 year old might have wanted to participate but just started the race a bit late, like after everyone had already crossed the finish line.

Best sports ever...the tia group that worked on Friday.

Twin #1

Twin # 2....just happy to be here.

We celebrated some birthdays of the week while we were at the park, too.

He turned the big 2!

...and he turned 3. Annnnd enjoyed his cake a lot.

The trips turned 2 months old on Friday, too! Jen, Elena, and I with our respective triplets...yes...we each have our own that we claim!

Happy 2 months, girlies! They weigh in at about 6 lbs right now.

Had a special visitor from Santa Cruz.. Lauren!
Look how we've grown:

When they got here:

So, overall, big fan of Dia del Nino right here. :)
