Poor Penny
has been sick all weekend. Â Her molars are coming in, and this is the first time that teething is really affecting her. Â She’s been running a temp all weekend and is just miserable. Â Hopefully the molars will come through soon!
A little gardening
Thanks to our good friend Peter, we are now the proud owners of a lemon grass plant. Â Steve, Penny and I planted it over the weekend, and hopefully Penny has inherited her grandparents green thumbs and the plant will flourish! Â It looks pretty dead at the moment, but apparently in a month or 2, if all goes well, it will be big and healthy! Â Here’s hoping Penny gets some authentic Thai food soon!
Enjoying a spring afternoon
Now that Penny is older, she loves to play. Â She has recently found that she loves running down hills and luckily enough we have one in the front yard for her. What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon!
WHEEEE!!!!!!
More Pucon
We did some fabulous sightseeing while we were in Pucon.
But, I think Penelope’s (and my) favorite thing was the thermal springs. Â We spent the afternoon lounging in the warm pools and Penny practiced her swimming. Â She did really good at floating and loved putting her head and face in the water. Â Now we have to teach her to blow bubbles!
This next photo is not the mist flattering, and I normally HATE bathing suit pictures, but I love the expressions on our faces. Â There were stairs leading down into the river, so you could go from FREEZING cold mountain water right into the hot pools. Â We got a video of Steve going into the river which we will have to post later!!
Luisa is in town!
Luisa is a good friend of ours who moved to Australia 2 years ago and makes it back to La Serena once a year. Â We were lucky enough to get to hang out with her over the weekend and then we met up for coffee this morning. Â Penny and Jack stayed home with Senora Carmen, but they were happy that Luisa came over to visit them afterwards. Â It was great seeing Luisa, and hopefully Penny will get to see her again soon!
