Steve and I wanted to get Penelope a doll stroller for her birthday, but were unable to find one.  We found one today while we were downtown and Penny loves it!  Seeing Penny and her doll stroller brings back fond memories of the all the girls on Westland ave giving doll parades.  I can’t wait for Penny and her friends to start having them!

Penny waiting for her surprise-

Sunday was such a beautiful day, we decided to spend the morning walking around downtown.  We ended up in the plaza where Penny was able to run around, feed the birds and make some new friends.  What a great day!

Like father like daughter!!-

This morning, we all sat together at the table for a waffle and fruit breakfast.  A perfect way to start the day!

Friday was a holiday here, Virgen del Carmen day, so Steve had the day off from work.  To celebrate we headed to the zoo with some food in tow to feed the animals.  Penny had a blast feeding the ducks and rabbits and the big tortoise!  She even got to chase around a litle lamb.  We then followed the beat of some drums across the street and found a big Virgen statue that must have been paraded through the streets earlier.  Though we missed that, we were lucky enough to find groups of people dressed in indigenous garb and dancing for her.

Penny’s good friend Lily gave Penny a beautiful princess outfit for her birthday.  Penny wore it for the first time on Tuesday, when Lily came over o play.  Penny looked adorable in it and had a great time with Lily.  Lily is moving to the US and will be living near Jack.  Though Penny was sad to see Lily leave, she’s happy that Jack will have Lily to play with again.
