Halloween 2007 Chile

The girls had their very first Halloween "party" at our house here in Chile. There were only four of them, but they had a great time. Starting with Mazie then moving clockwise: Mazie, Daniela, Sofia and Paulina.

There was cookie decorating and eating. Mazie was dressed as a chinese woman and sofi an arabian belly dancer (of sorts).

More cookie decorating. Paulina and Daniela are friends of Mazie's from church. They have been friends since they were about 4 years old.

Some of the finished product. They turned out pretty nice, I think.

There were a few games too. This particular one was a big hit. The girls had to submerge there faces in these big containers of jello and pull out the sets of gummy teeth that were at the bottom. It was messy.

Sofi also got in on the action. Fear is obviously not a factor for her.

More bobbing...

The aftermath...

The night got scarier the longer it went on... This is what happens to children who eat too much candy.

Algarrobo Summer 2007

Since we are homeschooling this year, we decided to postpone our vacation until later in the fall to take advantage of the cheaper prices. So the last week of summer vacation we took the girls for the day to the beach and then another day to an amusement park here in the city.

Winter Vacation 2006

On our way to the Buin Zoon on the Metro Train. It was a very nice 30 minute train ride from downtown Santiago to this nice newer zoo. We were accompanied by our houseguests for the week, Tim and Annette Gulick. It was a very nice day.
