Santiago, Chile (Day 2)

On our second day in Chile we all went to Renaca to stay at the familys beach house. It was a great couple of days!! The first day we went out to lunch at a great resturant right on the beach. After the resturant we went shopping for food for the few days we were going to be there. After we went to the apartment. The apartment is GORGEOUS and right on the beach!! The beach was pretty cold though, so the kids, Kenji and I went down to the apartments swimming pool and indoor hot tub. It was SO MUCH FUN!

Santiago, Chile (Day 1)

After a VERY long travel time (including our plane turning around 15 minutes into the flight to Chile from Dallas) we made it to Chile on April 2nd! We arrived at night, so we went right to Pilar and Rodrigos house. We spent some time visiting, and then called it a night.

The next day was a good one. We spent the day touring Santiago with the entire family. We went to different shops, a nice resturant and back to Pilar and Rodrigos.

Sleeping Beauty

I went to check on Julia tonight to see if she was asleep yet, and this is what I found. She is fast asleep here - a princess needs her beauty rest!

Party Time!

Yesterday (3/19/11), Julia had her birthday party at Build A Bear Workshop. She was SO excited because this was her first birthday party with friends. There were 23 of her friends there!! She got to invite all of her friends from school, plus her friends from outside of school. They all had a great time! Everyone got to build a bear and dress it up. After the party, we went down into the food court for juice and cupcakes. Julia was so happy because we ordered her Hello Kitty and Keropi cupcakes. All of the kids loved them!

Baseball season!!

Baseball season has started! Micah moved up to coach pitch this year and is back playing on the Dodgers. He had his first game yesterday. He did really well! He was able to hit the ball from the pitching machine. When his team was out in the outfield, he played pitcher one inning and catcher in the second inning. He did a great job!!

Ontario Outlets

The other day we all had a free day together (rarely happens!!) so we spent the day at the Ontario Outlets. We went to the Rainforest Cafe, walked around the shops and took the kids to the arcade that is in the mall. It was a fun day! The kids love the Rainforest Cafe because the inside looks like the rainforest with animals everywhere. They also had a blast in the arcade!!
