First Family Vacation - Part 5

These next few pictures most of you might not care a flip about. But, I wanted to give you a glimpse of what the place looked like...the apartment where we stayed. Plus, for those of you who might be planning to visit us before we leave this area, we would love to take you here and this is where we'd most likely be staying. Fun stuff. This is as you walk in the front door.
The kitchen to the right...and a little washroom straight through the kitchen.
Standing in the living room, looking straight into our room...the kids' room through the door to the left and their bathroom to the right.
Our bedroom.
Our bathroom area.
Aren't these cool bunkbeds? This might be the next design we go with as far as bunk beds go (I'm sure we'll need more bunk beds in the future). It sleeps 4...the bottom bunk has a trundle under it.
The kids' bathroom.
The living room area, taken from the bedroom area. The bottom of the couch also pulls out with a bed.
Immediately up the stairs (which we never even used) is this couch and pull-out bed to your left.
There is this full-size mattress directly ahead.
And this bedroom to the right.
The upstairs bathroom. That's it for the apartment tour. :-)
Not long after we left Caldas Novas.
We had to stop in Goiania to get diapers on the way back, so we of course thought it appropriate that we end our vacation with a bang...a stop by Pizza Hut. The kids thought this a fabulous idea too, esp. since they have a playground area there...nice!
This guy, whose little boy was also playing, seemed to kind of "adopt" Eissa...helping her and making sure she sat down before she plunged down the slide (she forgets that part sometimes).
Mmmm, pizza again...American style.
Some sibling affection on the slide.
Back home again. This was the morning after we got home. Hadley was very glad to be back to her princess dress. My favorite part was the shoes she chose to go with it that day though.

As you can see, we had a super great vacation. It was so fun and just perfect. At first I wasn't really thinking it was going to be much like the "vacation" I am used to. And, yes, it was quite a bit different on many levels...it was a vacation taken in Brasil after all...and with our 3 children (literally, the equivalent, in some ways, of taking your work with you on vacation). But, it was great...and a joy to "have our work with us." :-) It was a break in the routine of life, a fun time at the pool, we didn't have to do laundry or clean much, it was a chance to just have some great quality time with our kiddos with nothing else competing for our time, etc. Super duper fun, blessed time. We are very thankful for the opportunity to do it, that's for sure.
