Pretty Penny

February 19th, 2010

was a hit at the beach this morning.  Penny especially liked the fresh pineapple and peach juices that we drank on the beach.  She looked beautiful in the dress the Grams and Grandpa Tom got her in Paris.  Thanks!!!

Happy Hour

December 2nd, 2009

Our friend Pete was back in Chile for a brief visit so a bunch of us got together down at the beach at La Tabla for happy hour.  We went after Penny’s nap, which was 4 hours.  We got there a little before 7 and were able to have some drinks, emapanadas and relax and watch the sun set.  Penny was happy that 2 of her friends came and while we relaxed drinking on the beach, they were able to run around together.

Now that summer is here

November 11th, 2009

and the sun sets late (though yesterday it wasn’t too sunny), we’re able to head down to the beach for a walk when Steve gets home from work.  Penny loves to sit and watch the waves crash while Leyna runs around.  For me, life can’t get much better!

Grams is here!

September 28th, 2009

Much to Penny’s delight, Grams’ arrived yesterday for a 2 week visit.  Penny was sad when she realized that Grandpa Tom wasn’t here too, but she can’t wait to spend 2 weeks with Grams!  We spent a great day together went to the beach for lunch and piscos, ran around the beach, hung out at home, played at the park and played some more at home!  It was the perfect start for Grams’ visit!

Inflatable goodness

May 21st, 2009

Today, Penny was invited to her friend Anais’s birthday party.  It was held down at the beach.  In the States I don’t remember having many places like this, but most of the restaurants on the beach have play areas for kids with those big inflatable jumping room, walls and trampolines.  The place the party was at, had a tent you could rent for the afternoon and the kids were able to play on all the stuff.  This was the first time that Penny was actually able to partake in the inflatable fun, and she wasn’t too sure about it.  She kind of just sat in 1 place and waved her arms like a maniac.  Luckily, she had Jack to show her the ropes, and she ended up crawling around a bit.  After the party we went to the casino for some pizza (actually, I had pizza and Penny had whole wheat toast and avocado).  It was really nice to be able to sit together and eat together.  I had a great day with little Penny Jean!
