Ok. So this post took a little bit in coming (much to catch up on while back at home). Here is how my sis and I ended our final days together! We decided to be brave and took the kids on more outings than we had planned... and surprisingly they (and we) did great with all five! On Tuesday we took the kids to a nearby Water Park. Although the water was a bit chilly, this didn't stop the kids from have a blast and trying every water slide they could get on! Wednesday we had a fun day at the Miami Zoo. We did the "express" version since their zoo is so big. We rented an 8 seated bicycle and Monika and I peddled the kids around, stopping occasionally to feed giraffes, see the elephants, visit the kids petting area, and a little fun in the splash pad! The weather was great!
On our final day, we met up with my Aunt Becky and Uncle Miguel for a trip down memory lane and went to the Dade County Youth Fair and Exposition! I haven't been back to the fair since I graduated from High School! The kids had a BLAST. Despite the intermittent rain (you will see a pic of me under an umbrella... and the 5 kids are under the poncho in a wagon!) What a fun trip. All the kids (minus Andrew) tried the Bungy Jumper. For her age.. I think Gabi had the best time! We ended the night on the "BIG" Ferris Wheel! Monika and Iholding tight to the kids and praying for the ride to be over! The kids loved it! What a wonderful and special time we had. As always, the kids wished they lived in the same state!
OK... so here is the explanation for the next 2 pics. Isa and I are contemplating donating our hair this summer. Isa has had a hard time understanding the concept of a wig... so when we saw this wig stand... we let her see them in person. The lady was so excited with Isa's curiosity that she asked Isa if she wanted to try one. Of course Isa picked the dark purple one!
