DONE!!!!

We really are COMPLETELY DONE! Dan picked up the visa's today. Tomorrow we are going on a field trip to the Salt Cathedral here in Bogota. Lucia has arranged a trip for the CHI families here. We leave in the morning and will come back in the afternoon. We haven't been out much in Bogota so it will be nice to go.
We went to a park today to get out for awhile. The boys had a good time and we got some nice, cool fresh air. It was a nice park with playground equipment to climb on. We of course had to buy the obligatory ice cream/popsicle while there also. They don't know yet that there are not ice cream vendors roaming the parks at home. Juan tried to do his little trick of sitting down in the middle of the street because he didn't want to go. Fortunately Maicol and I each had one of his hands and "helped" get him across. He and Papi had some quality time together when we got back.
While Dan was gone to get the visa's they seemed a little bored, so I filled the tub and put all of them in to play. I don't think they had ever done that. They had a very good time and of course didn't want to get out. The tub has glass doors to enclose it, so the amount of water on the floor was somewhat limited. We used up a couple of towels soaking up the water, but on the plus side they are very clean!
We had the opportunity to meet the CHI Colombia Program Director, Julie, today. She is in Colombia for her yearly visist and it so happens that we are here too. We have talked to her on the phone, but never met her. It was nice to meet her in person.
We took several pictures today and put some here for you to see. Hope you enjoy them.
Talk to you tomorrow.

Good clean fun after the park!
We do have health insurance, don't we?
Just hangin' in there.

Everybody at the breakfast table.

Hi, I agree with Connie. I have always felt you were wonderful parents with Jonatan and Bethany. I'm sure you will be with the three muskateers. Hope you are having a great time today. I went to my first ladies small group meeting. We will be studying a book called Fruits of the spirit. The first one being Peace. I can use some. Bet you can too. LOve, Mom

Well, enjoy the rest of the vacation!

I had to go shopping with the birthday boy to help spend the money his grandparents gave him to buy clothes. Unfortunately for me, I don't really like to shop for clothes and he does.

We're off to "Parkfest" at the park up the road from us. It's great weather for it, but there are too many people for the space available. I think we'll have a good time.
