June Update 1 of 2

With the World Cup taking over everything in Brazil, we have been staying close to home for the past few weeks. And, we will continue to do so for the next few weeks until it's all over. While that doesn't make for many great blogging opportunities, it does give one plenty of time to download one's phone, so here are a bunch of pictures from our day to day lives around Recife, here in exotic Brazil!

 Just another day at the beach

 Kylie and Autumn clowning around during Carnival!

 This is the life

 Finally decided to unpack the serger and read the 92 page manual!

 Ready for more time at the beach!

 Drip castles!

 Another day, another "selfie" to text to Autumn
(just so she knows how much fun she's missing out on while she's at work!)

 Oh-ho! Dad left the computer unattended...
HAVE IT!

 Who DOESN'T need a tiara to go the the grocery store?

 I can't tell if they're having fun, or if Kylie is about to push Aya or swipe her toy!?!
Let's go with fun!

 Such a good helper in the kitchen!

 Cheese!

Baby pool upgrade!

Grandma Cathy at Porto de Galinhas

Today we drove down to Porto de Galinhas for some serious beach time. We had beautiful weather, got there right at low tide and had a wonderful lunch on the beach.

 Welcome to Porto de Galinhas

 Mmmm... ice water!

 Now THIS is swimming!

Bye bye!

Grandma Cathy at Caruaru

On Tuesday, we drove two hours inland to the town of Caruaru to visit their huge outdoor market. It was a bit of a let down, but we still had fun. 

The next day the tide, Kylie's nap schedule, and the weather all came into perfect alignment for a bit of shark-free swimming in a coral pool at the beach in front of our house. Yay!

 Dick Park lived up to it's name...ugh!

Ready to shop

View into the market

 Yes! Swimming at last!

 Kick! Kick! Kick!

 Kylie's Kitchen

 May I take your order?

Let's get cookin'!

Praia dos Carneiros - III

One last morning at the beach before heading home. The weather wasn't great, but I took Kylie down to the beach to wear her out before the car ride back to Recife. We had a very nice time and are looking forward to more adventures in Brazil!

Also, HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!!

 Early morning deserted beach

 I have my own island-zinho!

 Coconuts!

 I wouldn't want to be out on that boat-zinho!

 A stick!

 Better poke it down this crab hole!

 Palm roots

 *heart*

Baby + coconut = FUN!

 Later dad...

Bye bye beach
