BBQ fun!

We had a great weekend! Today we packed up a bunch of things from the kitchen, went to the grocery store for some goodies and headed out for a BBQ. We strolled along a small lake for awhile and then settled in to the little "ranchito." Diego had an absolute blast. I wasn't sure we would be able to keep him close to us, but he did so well. He had never gotten so dirty in his life and he loved the freedom. He picked up ants, rocks, dirt, twigs, leaves, nut shells, bottle caps, pine cones and anything he could get his hand on. Whenever he would find something new, he would bring it to me for approval to play with it. Ricardo and I had a whole collection of treasures that he carefully brought to us. He also played with ice for the first time and learned to say “hielo.” We cooked a delicious meal of meat (for Ricardo), corn, asparagus and grilled green onions. One of Ricardo’s favorite things to do is have BBQ’s, but since we don’t have one at the apartment this was the perfect opportunity to have a wonderful family outing.
