Father's Day Weekend and More!

Last day at school with Ms Aura :)

Last time I wrote was in the beginning of the month! we're into the second half of the month and we've been very busy. I've added a few movies to youtube. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/user/hanivarriale

Both Aurora and Maria ended the school year.

Maria had her 2nd show (Gymnastics) at Show Week.

We visited New Smyrna Beach, it is a beautiful beach. There were a lot of jellyfish which I don't know if they sting or not, they are very small and a girl was collecting them in a bucket. Even Aurora was holding one in her hand. After arriving home and doing a little bit of research I found a few articles on NSB. Turns out that it is the #1 place for shark attacks in the whole world!

Here is a bit of the article I found:

Where Danger can lurk

1. Shark attacks/bites
New Smyrna Beach, Volusia County, Florida: The were 112 incidents of shark-human "contact" in 2007, but only one resulted in a human fatality. New Smyrna, an inlet on the eastern coastline of Florida, had the most attacks, with 17 bites recorded.

Well, now knowing that we will be more careful if we do decide to go back there! I know that chances are we won't get bitten... but why risk it?

We did have the best time there, the girls were like in heaven! They ran free, made all kinds of designs with the sand and in the end they didn't want to come back home.

This past weekend we went to celebrate PAPI to one of his favorite places: Blizzard Beach. Aurora did some great swimming, Maria tackled the obstacle courses and we had a great time at the slides... Aurora went on some of the big girl slides by herself even. It was a lot of fun. Today father's day we stayed in. I went to check on some more cars, (we're looking for a car). But we're still not decided. Then we went in the pool. Luca was not feeling that great today. Something next to his ear (near his cheek) seems to be bothering him so he has been eating nothing but smoothies all weekend long!

Potty training is still going on, I think we've progressed a bit and will work on it hard this week. We got the carpets cleaned this weekend.

The girls got their teeth cleaned last week. Aurora laid down by herself on the chair.

Aurora is entering her 2nd week of swimming. She is progressing very well.

We also went to birthday world, a indoor party place with roller coasters and other rides.

That wraps this blog

Happy Father's day! to all dads!
