Las Vegas---Nevada








We had a great time with my family and my friend from high school ( Mapy). We meet in Circus Circus in Las Vegas, and she also came with her family. Her husband, who is also American, and her daughter Valery. We stayed for 5 days, and it was a short time, but we are planning to meet again. Maybe this time in our sweet California.
My parents also came along with us, and they walk a lot. Karla also walk a lot, I feel so proud of my little girl. Daniela didn't complain. She play with Valery, who is the same age as Daniela. It is so easy if they have the same age, they could run and run.

Summer

This is the best summer I ever have. Well probably the second best summer I ever have. My first one was in Lima when I was 13 years old. I remember walking to the beach and talking to my friends until late at night. It was really nice. I never worried about the future then, and it was just before the economical crisis, so by then it was really peaceful. But anyway I think it is very nice to have another nice summer in my life.
This summer, my girls took swimming lessons. They did great, and Karla isn't having so much fear as before. Daniela on the other hand, had also a lot of fun, splashing everywhere. Too bad, I could not take pictures since I had to stay with Daniela in the water. We also had so many pool parties this summer, and also I meet new people, who are really nice. My friend Naghmeh, who is from Iran, and of course Olga from Puerto Rico, who is leaving soon. Here are a couple of pictures from this year. We also are going to Highland Library for the toddlers program, which is really great. I guess my girls are really enjoying this summer, and we are really happy!! :)

Este verano ha sido uno de los mejores veranos que hemos tenido. El primero fuen en Lima cuando tenia 13 y tenia mas libertad para salir. Me acuerdo que caminaba a la playa y me quedaba conversando hasta tarde en la noche. Sinceramente fue muy divertido y todavia puedo sentir la brisa del mar en mi cara, y esa paz que dan las olas del mar, que ventaja de vivir cerca a la playa.
Bueno este verano fue el segundo verano mas hermoso que he vivido desde que me mude a California. Hemos tenido tantas fiestas, claro infantiles pero en piscinas, asi que han sido divertidas. Tambien he conocido gente nueva y muy buenas personas. Una es mi amiga Nahgmeh de Iran y mi otra amiga es Olga de Puerto Rico, la cual se va para otro estado pronto.
Este verano mis hijas empezaron a tomar clases de natacion, puedo ver que Karla no le tiene tanto miedo como antes al agua, es mas creo que la vi casi nadar el otro dia donde Olga. Daniela recien se esta acostumbrando, pero se ha divertido salpicando agua por todos lados, especialmente en la tina jejeje. Bueno aqui unas fotitos de este verano.



They even have fun with a little wading pool.
It is so precious to be children

My friend Olga and Gabriel

Bubbles works just fine!!!

Jenks Lake

Last Friday, we had a nice time at Jenks Lake. Randall had the opportunity to leave early from work, and we decided we wanted to do something different, so we thought first about going to Forest Falls, but it was close because a bear is looking for food around that area, and the place will be close until they find the bear. Then we decided to go to Jenks Lake, which is also closer and nice. We invited my parents and my in-laws.
We went there and barbecue. We cooked 24 pieces of chicken, 20 hamburgers, and 6 pieces of meat. Yeah it is a lot of foof, but it was worth it doing it because I didn't have to cook yesterday.
We ate lunch, and then we walk around the lake, and everyone had so much fun.

Nos fuimos a Jenks lake, que esta a 45 minutos de mi casa. lleve a mis papis y a mis suegros, la pasamos bien solo caminando por el lago y disfrutando del ambiente natural. Eso si comimos bastante, ya que cocinamos como para un batallon.
