Santiago

On Thursday and Friday, Steve, Lisa and Teddy headed to Santiago to go to the embassy to register Teddy and apply for his passport. Penny stayed home with Senora Carmen and her granddaughter and while we were gone. It was Teddy’s first time on an airplane (he did GREAT) and all his paperwork is turned in. Hopefully we will be seeing everyone stateside in April!!

Cochiguaz

We spent the weekend camping in Cochiguaz, a small town in the Andes. We had a terrific time and can’t wait to go back. Penny loved camping, she says her favorite parts were sleeping in the tent in her new sleeping bag and swimming in the river. Teddy was a happy little camper and enjoyed being outdoors. One of my favorite things was watching Penny jump off the bridge into the river. The first time she did it she got a huge applause from everyone at the beach, she was awesome! A big thank you to Peter, Berna, Josh and Amy for inviting us along!!!

Imagine It! Children’s Museum of Atlanta

One of our first days in Atlanta, Terry, Steve, Penny and I headed downtown to the Imagine It Museum.  It is geared towards toddlers and it was amazing.  Penny had so much fun learning about recycling, saving energy and playing.  She apparently inherited Steve’s ability to act and was part of a show.  Afterwards, we decided to go to the CNN building for lunch.  On our way through the park, we encountered the fountains (see previous post).  Luckily I had brought a spare set of clothes so Penny was able to play in the water.  She had so much fun, we couldn’t wait to go back, which we did with Mary Jane when we went to the aquarium.

One of Penny’s best days, ever!

One of our last days in Connecticut was probably Penny’s favorite day.  It started off with a boat ride to to other side of the river, then apple picking and then we headed to the carousel one last time.  It was a great day, beautiful weather, and Penny is still talking about it!  Can’t wait for next year!!

Georgia Aquarium

The last time we were in Atlanta, when Penny was around 4 months old, we visited the aquarium. We had such a great time, we’ve been looking forward to bringing Penny back ever since.

Penny last time-

This year-

After the aquarium, we headed over to Olympic Park.  This time we were prepared and brought a swimsuit for Penny (actually 2).  Penny loved running around in the fountains.  It was a wonderful day!
