Our biggest worry? Should I lay in the hammock or sit on the porch to read? What hike are we going on this afternoon? What should we make for lunch? Big decisions to make...let me tell ya. ;)
Xman had a blast! He loved his backpack rides through the mountains.
He learned so many new words...and all of a sudden began pointing to things that he knew! It blew us away! We would say, "Where's the tree?" and he would point to them!!! He did this with tree, rain, pants, fan, light, hat, water, tiger, monkey, elephant (stuffed animals)Nani, Papi, Mommy, and Daddy! Holy moly! It's like his brain grew every day. So cool!! :)
I loved spending day after day with my parents. They got so much time with X, and it was just so nice to sit and read together while Xman napped. My mom and I don't usually sit and read much at home...so it was a really nice treat. No to do lists...just relaxing and enjoying our time together.
This is what we woke up to every morning...
and went to sleep to every night...
It was cool in the mornings and evenings and perfect during the day. Humidity? What is that!?
It has taken me a full two days to really get over my end of vacation blues. My heart really loves the mountains and feels SO at home there. But, a friend of mine reminded me recently that our heart can know many homes...no matter what, wherever X and Trav are is home to me. Adding my mom and dad into the mix just makes it that much sweeter! Now, if Chloe, Erich, Ben and WyWy were there too, you'd have to drag me away kicking and screaming.
