Just Playin' in the Sandbox

I'm so excited to play in my new sandbox! Nothing's better than soft sand between your toes! I'm all set with a shovel and bucket, but think I still could use a sandcastle mold (hint, hint) ;)

There's gotta be some good sand down here...

It's very important not to throw sand!

Celebrating my new sandbox with a special toast. What? Does my kool-aid grin give it away?!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Today, my school hosted a special Family Day at the Zoo! I was so excited to see all the amazing animals!
First, we headed to a huge bird cage

We saw lots and lots of colorful parrots, but I think my favorite was this beautiful peacock!

Next, we saw this critter....Daddy said they're called capivara, and they live all over Brazil. All I could think was that it looked a little like the Chupacadra on Daddy's t-shirt - hmmmm....One of my favorite stops was to watch these spider monkeys. They were having a great 'ol time because it was time for them to eat!

Um....so....what exactly are you trying to say???

Finally, we arrived at the serious animals - the Lions, Tigers and Jaguars. I don't think we had too much to worry about, because these tigers were taking a snooze, but Mommy kept me close by - just in case!

We wrapped up our outing at one of our go-to yummy restaurants - how's that for One Fine Day? ;)

Happy (Bunny) Trails, to You!

Whew! What an Easter week we had! Easter is probably the most-celebrated holiday here, and the Brazilians put on a grand show. We had lots of fun at school, exchanging chocolate eggs with our friends, AND I ended up having TWO visits from the Easter Bunny!

I was a little sad, though, that I wasn't able to hunt Easter Eggs with my cousin, Isabela, like we did last year. We did our best to send our Easter Bunny love through Skype!

Once we got word the Easter Bunny had paid a visit, we headed to the back yard to find some goodie-filled eggs! Daddy helped me get started....
But, I was quickly on my way to finding all the eggs!
Mmmmm....gotta love the gummies!
I must have been in a sugar-induced coma to let Mommy & Daddy put these crazy bunny ears on me! {Sheesh!}
I hope you all had a happy, and yummy Easter!

Confessions of a Silly Girl

I'll admit, I'm a silly, Silly Girl. Most of my antics are aimed at making Mommy and Daddy laugh, but sometimes, I even crack myself up!
Just give me some tunes, and watch me shake my booty...

Or hand me a few props, (like a new slide!) and I really get on a roll...
The funny thing is, when I meet new people, I often pretend to be shy...
...But before they know it, I'm ready for hugs
...And another Silly Adventure!
