The first part of last week was spent getting ready for the arrival of my grandparents on Thursday the 10th. My cousin Juliana also celebrated her 6th birthday that day. We were able to keep the secret that the grandparents were coming until the kids walked in the house from school and found them sitting on the couch. They were surprised and happy to see them. We are all excited to have them here.

On Thursday Juliana took cupcakes to school.
After we dropped the kids off at school we went to pick up Grandpa and Grandma from the airport.
For lunch we went out to a Chilean restaurant where the waiters presented a fake birthday cake to Juliana and sang happy birthday to her.

On Friday we literally "packed" the car and headed to Algarrobo for a mini weekend vacation at the beach. Algarrobo is a city on the coast about an hour and a half away.
Some friends of my aunt and uncle's loaned us their apartment in Algarrobo. This was our view from the balcony of the apartment.
We enjoyed a weekend together with fun and fellowship.
On Saturday we went up the coast from Algarrobo to Valparaiso and Viña del Mar to go sightseeing. We got to eat lunch at a seaside restaurant where we could faintly see sea lions on a rock in the distance. In the afternoon we went to a beach to play in the waves.

These interesting rock towers were outside of the restaurant where we ate lunch.

On Tuesday we went to Juliana and Jonathan's school program for the end of the school year. Jonathan was the King of the Jungle.
Juliana's class danced and did a little thing about opposites and spelling.
Until Later! Hasta Luego!
