The First Few Days

As promised, here a few pictures of the first few days in Argentina. We spent the first week or so in the mission home hanging out with my parents. My mom and I love Kinder eggs which are originally from Germany but they have them in Argentina. They are a yummy chocolate shell egg that has a toy in the middle. We collected them when I lived there before getting married. Here we are checking out the new toy.As you all know it is summer in the other hemisphere and my parent have beautiful yard. Here is just a sample of the beautiful flowers that are blooming in their backyard. Travis loved taking pictures of the flowers.

This is a picture of mom and me hanging out at the church in Cinco Saltos. Dad had interviews with the missionaries here and we all tagged along. Mom is on the phone because even though we were there and they were taking a little time off they are still missionaries and had to help the sick elders.
Here is Travis hanging out in the church. It was so hot inside and out. We found a room that had ceiling fans and that to cool us off. Isn't he so handsome.
My cute parents took us to see the cinco saltos (for which the city is named) after the interviews. You can see them way in the background, they are kind of like man made waterfalls. It was sooooo much fun to be with my parents.

We Fell Off the Face of the Earth...Sort of...

After a very long break, I am going to try to get back into blogging. Many of you who read my blog know that we went to Argentina to be with my parents for Christmas. It was the best Christmas ever. We had so much fun with my cute, funny, amazing parents. A lot of you may be interested to see pictures of them, so here are a few of my favorites. Since we took over 600 pictures while we were there I've decided to post them slowly only a few every day or two depending on when I can catch time. Hopefully, I will be able to post a lot. Love ya'll and hope you had a great Christmas!!!
