Tio Roby!!!!!!!!!

Ricardo's brother, Roberto flew in to town late Saturday night and is with us until late tonight (Monday). The kids call him Tio Roby (well Diego does, Alexia calls him Roby).
Roberto is an amazing artist and I thought it would be cool for him to paint with the kids. Ricardo and him went to Michael's yesterday to load up on supplies and everyone spent yesterday afternoon painting. Diego requested a shark and Alexia requested a butterfly. Diego and Roberto painted non-stop for almost 3 hours and had a blast. Diego was so into it and never got bored or asked to stop (not even to eat). Alexia's attention span was a bit shorter, but she LOVED every second of having her fingers in the paint.
We ended the evening with a great BBQ and ice cream sundaes.
Ricardo and Roberto are out playing golf right now and when they return we'll splash around in a little pool I bought for the kids.
