Day Adventures: Meeting Friends

Well I guess I was too into the UK game and forgot to post yesterday. Go Cats! We were able to watch the game through Skype on Jared's computer. Yesterday we went to Parque Ejido and had a great time. Lucas climbed a tree and all over the equipment and had fun on some really fast slides. He also enjoyed the tire swing and the bit net swing with Melayna. Melyana played on the swing almost the whole time. She is trying to figure out how to push herself on the swing. It is really sweet to watch her little wheels turning as she tries different things. The four of us played tag for a little while in the park too. After playing tag, we all got some mango and some ice cream for a snack and then headed back home. Lucas played with the new castle while Melayna rested and I went to the grocery store. After dinner we watch the UK game and cheered them on to a big win.

Today Matt and Jared went to Cotopaxi to hike and had a wonderful time. The kids and I went to church and took our time heading home. Melayna is a little explorer and picks up rocks and sticks and leaves every few steps. She is funny how she picks and choses which ones to keep. She loves the little leaves and says, "look a pequeño one". At church we were lucky enough to meet a wonderful family that wants to get together for a play date. Their family owns a pizza place in town too and wants us to come eat there. Yum! Lorena is the lady's name and she asked us to come over this week to play and she would have cupcakes for the kids. Lucas heard that and was excited. Lorena said that her son who is Melayna's age saw Melayna in church a few weeks ago and told his mom she was a princess. How sweet! I think it will be nice to change the routine a little. Matt is going to try to meet up with her tomorrow for a little while. I am excited for the kids. Other than that nothing new is going on. We are just trucking right along.
