More park photos

February 2nd, 2010

We try to go to the park as much as possible.  Penny loves going and playing with her friends and Leyna loves to go and play with the frisbees.  We went yesterday, and I was amazed to see how big Penny is getting.  She is interacting more and more with the other kids, she’s able to climb the jungle gym all by herself and is learning to throw the frisbee to Leyna.

Penny helped me do the shopping this week.  On Monday we went to the fish market and Penny helped me pick out some fresh Reineta and then today went to La Feria for our fruit and veggies.  Penny is now enjoying a dinner of fresh fish, broccoli and spinach pasta with homemade pesto.  The only thing not fresh is the pasta!  Fresh food is the best!

Water baby!!

February 1st, 2010

Penny is following in her mom and dad’s footsteps, and loves swimming.  She is able to swim with the floaties all by herself.  She kicks her legs and moves her hands and can swim!  She also like to put her face in the water and blow bubbles and likes to climb in and out of the pool on the ladder.  Yesterday we practiced jumping in, she did it a few times, but seemed to prefer using the ladder.  We can’t wait to go again soon!

The La Serena Zoo

January 17th, 2010

After living here for 4 1/2 years, Penny and I finally made it to the La Serena Zoo.  We’ve been to the zoo in the valley, but never to the small zoo here in town.  This morning seemed like the perfect time to go, and much to my delight when we arrived we found out it’s free!  Some of the highlights included-

I’m sure you will all be seeing more pics from the zoo in the future.  It may become a weekly outing!

It’s always fun at the park!

Happy New Year!

January 6th, 2010

We celebrated the New Year our friends.  We started off at our friends Sara and Marcus’ house at 7pm for drinks and appetizers.  It was children friendly, so Penny and some of her friends got to play for a bit.  Then Steve and Penny came home and I went to our friends James and Louisa’s for a party.  New Years day, I awoke to the smell of doughnuts!  Steve had made us some old fashioned doughnuts that were AWESOME!!!! It was the perfect way to start the new year!! Hope everyone has a healthy and happy 2010!!!
