Mini vacaciones

We went to Orlando a couple of days to have a relaxed family time.It ended up being a blast for our children but a busy vacation for Rodolfo and me. The hotel we stayed had great activities for children. Rodolfo and Lola played to a different game every half an hour around the pool.

Decidimos ir a pasar unos dias en familia a Orlando antes del comienzo de las clases, resultaron ser unas vacaciones agitadisimas. El hotel tenia actividades para los chicos, que obviamente involucraban a los padres, cada media hora. Saltabamos de la pileta, al bingo, a tenis, al ping pong sin ningun respiro. A la noche nos desmayabamos apenas volviamos al cuarto.

Machi y Ale en casa

Ayer llegaron Machi y Ale Grondona, la hermana de Rodolfo y su marido. Tenemos la suerte de que nos visitan muy a menudo.Para mis hijos es un placer inmenso tener sus tios en casa, y para nosotros es una alegria conectarnos con la familia y recibir noticias frescas de Argentina. En cada visita de Machela y Alejandro, y fueron muchas todos estos anios, hemos reafirmado el vinculo y la hemos pasado barbaro. Este post es un avance de la visita.

Machi y Alejandro, my sister in law and her husband, arrived yesterday from Argentina. We are very fortunate to have them in Jax quite often, it strengthens the natural bond between the families, and makes us happy.
