Having fun with the videos

Ok I am up later then I should be...so I will try to get this on the blog...we will see how long it takes to upload. This was during our recent visit to GV, just before the great grandparents had to go to lunch.

Some nice weekend get aways

This post is due to the fact that RMM reminded me that some people still check this out. Thanks for the reminder...So the last two weekends we have gone to the cabin and then up to GV. It was great to have some down time and then visit the folks. L as always has been a trooper for travel, good thing because the next couple of months are packed.

Trying to get a pretty cute video up and showing....

I think I got it!!!Yepee. Will post more later.

Out for a hike today, of course had to do some caching at the same time. It was a great hike with a lot of horses out on the trail. We picked the fire road so we could use the stroller instead of the pack ( actually since I am the mule I chose the fire road option)




So we are on to the next step. L is loving the hand foods. Here she is shoveling some bread in her mouth with a smearing of blueberries. I think Shaylor is pretty happy about this new feeding style. Half of L's meal is on the ground so of course Shaylor will come in for the cleaning.

L still prefers to stand over crawling.
Here she is helping daddy lower the crib so when she gets up on her own

she doesn't fall out of the crib on her own

"Daddy we did it, yipee!"

Getting late again, til next time:)

Dominican part 2

Here we are at 4:30am getting ready to take the shuttle to the airport. Notice the 8 people and 20 bags.

Once in the Dominican, L seemed to enjoy the warm weather. Here she is at the mother's house in Santiago.

Here we were on a side road near the beach looking for a cache. Notice the black water collection tank on the house on the left, a common site. You may also notice the flowing "water" on each side of the road, another common site.

Towards the end of our stay we were in the mountains. This was a nice hotel just very isolated, though not too far away they had nightly baseball games. We went to check one out and I was surprized to see that the baseball game was actually a fast pitch softball game. We stopped and watched for awhile.

While in the mountain, Jarabacoa, we did manage to do get a little hike in. Though it was warm enough outside we opted not to test the water, for fear of what might be up stream.

Until next time Adios.

PS. We love to check the comments

Thanks Jenia for the first one!!

Dominican Republic

(picture is of some local boys down the street)

Hi all, here goes our first blog....

I will type and M with edit (critique). We made it home safe and healthy after 8 days in the Dominican. We spent 3 days in Santiago, the second largest city in the country. Here we learned how to drive with absolutely no regard for streets signs and basic rules of the road. Passing on a blind corner of a two lane highway...perfectly fine. Red light...stopping optional. One way street...only until you see someone coming towards you. Motorcycles in the US seat two people...in the Dominican they seat a family of four while carrying a ladder. The video was taken near the beach so it doesn't really show the city driving, but still worth the viewing. Sorry this is the wrong vidoe check the next one out

L was a trooper for the entire trip. We are so proud of her. Here is a shot of her with A at the mom's house in Santiago . Another one of her on the airplane sitting in daddy's seat.

Here is mommy on the beach of Puerto Plato and daddy in the pool.

























Well out of time for this one. I know it is not much but a start.
