tenerife...

we just got back from five days in tenerife...a part of the canary islands. it was a 3 and a half hour flight. thankfully weston slept for 45 minutes of it...better than nothing!

we arrived and it was a very nice day...mid 70's. the place we stayed had a crib ready for weston in our room, so that was a bonus. they were very nice and accomidating at our hotel, and it was in a perfect location.

our first stop was loro park. this is a very famous park that was highly recommended. it was a beautiful park and weston enjoyed it very much. he was able to see all sorts of animals. it was fun to see him really interacting with the animals and actually getting something out of seeing them.

here are some pics from that day...more pics of our trip to come in the next posts...

snow, snow, snow...si, si, si!!!

we went from having mid 60 degree days to snow! it was so beautiful and weston loved playing in it, of course...

...we all have had colds the last week, so the blog hasn't had too much action...soon enough i will get more posts up. next weekend we head to the canary islands...can't wait, should get some nice photos to share! xo

mimosa tree

blooming here now...

we bought some branches at the market and they smell and look lovely...

back to the beach...

we spent the day visiting the picasso museum (museu picasso) and going to the beach. the museum was one of the most amazing collections of picasso that i've ever seen. so inspiring, but unfortunately we couldn't take pictures. we walked to the beach from there where weston was in heaven playing in the sand and we were in heaven soaking up the rays...

 

te amo....

mums and tots...

i was at a coffee shop last week that is perfect for having a toddler because you can drink your coffee and there is a huge room with tons of toys set up for them to play, play, play...anyways i overheard english speaking women talking!!! wow, was i excited...we got to talking and they welcomed me into their group that gets together several times a week! they are from eveywhere...the uk, norway, italy, prague..one gal from utah. they are all here because their husbands were transferred here for work. they didn't know each other until they got here and have been hanging out for about a year it seems. the kids range from 6 months to 3 years. i went back to meet them at the coffee shop this week and also went to a "mums and tots" thing today. it reminds me of peps where you sit around and chat with the other moms while the kiddos play. it is so nice to have that interaction and also have weston interact with other kids...here are a couple photos that i took today...

day in the life of living in spain...

site seeing in barcelona

going to the gym in sant cugat to go swimming and work out...weston is not fond of his swim sandals as you can see...

driving...quite a crazy experience getting to know the roads and how to use the car...

hanging out with friends we met here and cheering on the barca soccer team...and catching the views of barcelona

having fun, fun, fun!!!
