Icky Sticky Mud Balls

We're back in the USA, baking in Brazil was rather difficult over the last 1.5 years, so Mom made some cake pops with the kids -- Dylan was calling them "icky sticky mud balls", no idea where he got that from.

One last trip before we left

We took one last trip to Juquehy before we left Brazil, loved that place.

More from Buenos Aires

Dylan wanted his picture taken here, don't ask me the historical significance -- he just liked the skull.

Recoleta Cemetery

We visited the famous Recoleta cemetery while in Buenos Aires -- over 4000 above ground vaults, some of which declared national historical monuments.  There were quite a few notable monuments, of which I really only recognized Eva Peron (history was never my strong point), nonetheless it was quite an interesting place.  Aside from being able to see the caskets through some of the vaults, the kids were mainly interested in the spiders and the stray cat that was lurking around -- typical cemetery stuff.

Buenos Aires

We just got back today from Argentina, another beautiful city in South America that we were able to make it out to -- and safe too, we used public transportation the entire trip.  We spent half the time sight seeing and the other half at places that cater to kids (kids' museums, etc).  Restaurants didn't open until 8pm, so our routine was to be back by 6pm for a quick rest (naps for the kids) and then head out for dinner.  The kids enjoyed some late nights on the town, and by the end, were quite used to the routine.
