A lot of Taryn's time was spent in bathtubs, partyly because she really likes water, and partly because it was 95 degrees at 10am, and the kid does not like heat. But she had a lot of company.
Here is Taryn and her cousin Melissa taking baths in Tata Lina's bathroom. They don't have bathtubs down there, so we made good use of the buckets.
This is Taryn out on the back porch. She wasn't dirty, just hot. And her cousin Maira was keeping her company so I could eat. Cute, eh?
I think this was the same day, before Meli took her bath in Maira's tub. She was playing with her Ebo out back.
Not really relevant, but P picks his nose constantly.
She loved playing in Abuelo Elio's (Ebo) taxi. And it must have been 10 degrees hotter in there with the black leather seats, but every day, she wanted to pretend to take a spin.
She wasn't the only one to likes to drive, but when the cousins came, she got to ride shotgun. Did I mention, probably half the cars down there don't have seatbelts, and the other half don't have working ones? Scary.
We brought her over to Pedro's Tia Olga's house one night, and she refused to sleep. You can see she was exhausted, eyes glazed, wasn't fussing, but flat-out would not sleep outside of her pack-n-play, and only in Tata Lina's bedroom.
This picture is deceptive, because she really didn't eat much while we were there. Yogurt and bananas. And juice. And chi-chi (which she learned to say down there). But through the sickness and heat and lack of food and sleep, she was still a clown.
We spent a lot of time playing outside. She received these sqeaky sandals as a gift from her Tia Olga, and didn't want to wear anything besides them the whole time we were there.
Of course, sometimes she didn't want to wear shoes at all.
One of the most important things we did while down there was get her baptized. She didn't agree with the holy water on the head part, but we wrestled her into submission and got it done.
She's exhausted, he's distracted, and I'm way too overjoyed. :)

So there you go. I had some technical difficulties transferring the pictures from the camera to my PDA while we were there, so there are a lot more photos to come when P gets home.
