the wrap up

An amazingly awesome day spent with good friends and lots of littles on a working dairy farm.  Heaven.

let's say marcus is imitating andres' face whenever he saw a cow or a horse.  he was t.e.r.r.i.f.i.e.d.

 our friend vaquero & jose tomas

 this one was in his element.  latent gentleman farmer genes + finnish farmer genes = one happy boy.

 we spent a lot of time just watching the cows go from pasture to milking back to pasture.  sounds boring, but if you're under 8 it's fascinating stuff.

 babies were a big source of entertainment as well.... with Fran.

 marcus and javier in the field forever...

 checking out the guinea pigs.

 the boys and agus

 emi and julia rode horses in the afternoon together.

 bunny feeding.

 tire swinging.

 tractor driving.

 a valiant and epic failure of an attempt to take a group picture.  

Back at home...

This is Liliana, one of the girls who takes care of my kids when I go.  Every morning Javier would come downstairs after his own breakfast and sit with Liliana and have breakfast with her as well, stealing nibbles of her bread.  She's awesome and giggling in this picture.  Why?

because apparently she taught a certain someone to sip a little coffee in the mornings as well.

great.
