Nana & Pawpaw visit

It's been a long time since the last update, and we've been all over the country since then. In the middle of November, Justin's mom and dad were able to come visit for a week. We all had a great time visiting and were very refreshed to see the faces of family we love so much! For the first days of the visit, we hung around our place.

Lilian put on all her new dress up clothes and performed for us.

We played.

We walked around town.

We showed Nana & Pawpaw the Jesuit ruins in the area.

As you can tell, Thomas is an expert on the ruins and love to play tour guide.

The kids were introduced to smores.

We hung out around the hotel.

The kids were even able to get in some pool time.

Then, we headed up to Ciudad del Este to see the Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side. Of course we took the opportunity to see the best sights. Right now there are sunflowers everywhere.

And, of course you'll always see something picture-worthy on the highway.

While we were there, we went to the Itaipu Dam on the border of Paraguay and Brazil. It is the largest operating hydroelectric facility and supplies 90% of the electricity used by Paraguay and 19% of that used by Brazil. It’s basically HUGE.

After that, we did hit the free zoo attached to the dam, but didn’t get any pictures…bummer. The next day we went to Iguazu Falls.

We saw tons of wildlife: lizards, iguanas, a snake, kuati, a toucan,

and butterflies galore.

We were so blessed to be able to spend this time with Nana and Pawpaw. Thanks for coming to see us and we're looking forward to the next visit!
