Abuelos!!!

For the last ten days, we've had the pleasure of hosting Santiago's parents, also known as Abuelo and Abuela. Jacob was naturally delighted with the increased attention, and Timothy showed off his best squirms and smiles. In addition to just good old relaxing and hanging around the house, we had a great time seeing Quito and some sights around Ecuador.

We went to the zoo, which is a very scenic 45 minute drive north of Quito. Abuela and Jacob investigated the bear, and enjoyed the petting zoo.


We also went to the equator line, and the Sedacas tested whether it was the real thing or not. And of course, there was the obligatory grandfather blowdart.

We traveled to beautiful Mindo for birdwatching and gorgeous scenary. Here we are:


Here are some of the birds we saw:



And of course, here are our little people.
