First stop -Warner Robins, GA

We left at around 6 pm on Friday night and drove straight through. GPS said 14 hours non-stop, so we figure with stopping it would be about 17. 20 hours later, we arrived in GA. We hit a lot of late night construction, which cost us a few hours. The twins were great in the car and as out of whack I was sleep wise, I think it was a lot easier than trying to do it all in the daytime.

Hanging out at the hotel in GA.

The second day we were there, we went strawberry picking with Felix's cousin Freddy and his family. It was a gorgeous introduction to the amazing weather that awaited us.

Liliana had a tight bond with Freddy's son Javier (the ring bearer at our wedding-he's a little bigger now, no?)

Enjoying ice cream with Aba at the farm.

On our way!

All ready for Miami! Life jackets and all!

See you soon!

book time

They are all about books these days...especially ones that have to do with counting!

So nice out!

It was almost like summer yesterday, so we went down to Bruce Park and had a great time after school.

topped it off with a great dinner at Friendly's, the twins' first visit.

Green Room...

We went to Green Moon yesterday. It was an art playdate sponsored by the twins group we belong to. They had great stations for the kids to work at. What was fun was that they encouraged the kids to get as messy as possible. Everything was washable which was great. It is rare that you can have a room full of toddlers and have that type of freedom.

Making bead necklaces...

this was the shaving cream table...each kid got a mound of shaving cream and could "decorate" it and then play in the shaving cream...

I liked this the best. The kids put dye on to paper in a salad spinner and then they spun it and created a cool design...who knew?

Painting with marbles...

the mural wall which was a big hit with L and L

Pump It Up

Last night Pump It Up was having what they call an "open bounce" . It was a fundraiser for Autism Speaks and with a donation you were able to come and play from 6-9. We got there early, and got out before it got real crazy.

Liliana and I at the bottom of the VERY big slide.

Lucas, brave little guy, going down the slide solo. (I was a little surprised, but he was fearless)

Piece of cake!

Compo Beach

Recently, we went to Compo Beach in neighboring Westport. They have an amazing playground right on the beach.

We ran into our other "twin" neighbors, Lucas and Josephine while we were there. So we joined them to partake in our favorite activity, tossing rocks in the water.

Elmo comes to town!

On Sunday we went to see Sesame Street Live at Harbor Yard Arena.

We bought the twins these Elmo pennants. A huge hit!

We had a little parade of sorts as we made our way to our seats...

It was so sweet to watch them. Very cute..

Wellfest.

Norwalk had its Wellfest today. It is a informational fair of sorts mostly geared towards parents of younger children. There were tables about pediatric dentistry, what to look for in a preschool, getting your child ready for school, etc. They also gave each child 3 "book bucks" that they could turn in for free new books at the end. We also got a lot of free samples (new Dora and Diego toothbrushes!)

The fire department was there, so they each got a hat.

At the Children's Museum table, talking to the puppet. They each got to take a plastic ball, yet somehow four ended up in our living room.

There was a story corner, not too sure what Lucas is doing here...Zorro impression maybe?

We went back outside to look at the fire truck, but it was gone. They had this mascot instead. He moved, spoke, drove his engine around and shot water. Probably a bigger hit than the truck would have been.

Family.

Felix's uncle's brother arrived from Cuba this week. So the family all met up at Felix's aunt's house on Thursday night to visit.

Lucas sitting with the men and getting an early exposure to what will be an obligatory love of dominoes.

When the serious game is over, Camilla and Lucas can play...

Tio and Tia

yum! Arroz(rice)!
