They're Baaaack!

The house is full of life and noise again (and a mess again...). Kids got back after a month in Mexico with their grandparents, a greate experience for everyone I believe...

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks they spent down there. The trick with a blog is to update it continuously othwerwise time goes by fast and it becomes harder. The pictures are from the trip they made to Guanajuato & San Miguel, at my uncle Manolo's ranch and at a water park in Chapala...

Guanajuato & San Miguel.
Check out this cool old style drug store...
the pool in the hotel in Guanajuato

this is my burger, get your own!
el callejon del beso (the kiss alley)
A mine they visited (I think)

Tio Manolo's Ranch

Tio Manolo is Nonna's oldest brother, he has a very cool ranch near Guadalajara. Nonna and my cousin Sofi took the girls and Ana Paula to spend a couple of days there. As a kid I spent many weekends in that place riding horses, swiming in the river and doing cool stuff...

Syd and the Ranch Cat

Sydney designing an underwater breathing helmet, 20,000 leagues under the sea style...

Testing it for a good fit...

and testing her inventio on who else? that's what little sisters/brothers are for, isn't it? -"it's going to be ok, just breath normal..."

Cirque du Solei? Hardly....The trapeze....winder if my uncle has any idea what this lot was up to in his ranch house (he didn't go with them)....check out the safety net in case they fell



Breakfast in the patio..

Chilaquiles!! hmmm........

the water park in Chapala, arguably their favorite place they visited (there's just no hope with these two)

yes, now your home is noisy and mine it's so quiet, you have a mess and I have all in order, BUT I miss them, they fill my home with light and love, I hope they keep all this memories in their hearts.
Thank you for let us have that wonderful month!!
