Day 2 of the Packout

...and I am tired.

...and I am sad.

...and I am excited for a new adventure to begin.

La Despedida de Abe

Abe class threw a great going away party for Abe and I.  Nearly all of his classmates (27) and most of their moms came to big us farewell.  Unfortunately, I only took these three photos which do no justice to the great afternoon.  The kids gifted Abe a beautifully handcrafted silver belt buckle with an additional belt so that he can use it for many years.  

It was a joy and privilege to know these wonderful Argentine women.  Thanks for all of you kindness and support! 

After the party, Abe brought a few of his best friends to the house for his first pajama party.  He had been talking about it for weeks.  This photo was right before I dropped them off the following morning at a birthday party.  He truly misses his classmates and these great boys.

Our Last Visitor

My sister made a last-minute trip to see us here in Buenos Aires, just in the nick of time.  I love that I get a small vacation when people visit and it is always nice to take a break from our standard routine and experience what the city has to offer. 

Grand Canyon

We made an over night trip to the Grand Canyon while we were in Phoenix with my in-laws.  We had a great time hiking to Oh-Ahh Point.

We stayed in Williams about an hour from the Canyon.  It was such a great little town right on Route 66.  There was a street gun show and a Wild West town replica.  

More photos to come...
