More fun with Kris and Elia

At first Elia was terrified of Peanut - she didn't realize that NO ONE should be afraid of Peanut, who loooooooves people! Now Elia is finally playing with Peanut: "Come on, Peanut, put the ball down, put it down, come on!" Peanut somehow knew Elia was afraid of her at first and stayed away from her (how do dogs know???), but now she's friends forever!

Today Plan A was the water park, Plan B was Bernal. Bernal won because it was too cool and rainy to swim! Good thing because as we passed two water parks on the way to Bernal, they were BOTH closed! Here are Kris, with Cameron, climbing some of the rock formations on the way up the famous Rock of Bernal.

And here they come back down!

Bethie, Kris, Elia, Cameron and Dayton climbed all the way up to the bridge. I don't know how far that is, but I know it's further than I wanted to go! We didn't think Elia would make it, but you know, keeping up with the cousins is VERY important! Here come the girls back down, after a GOOD climb - they'll have sore muscles tomorrow, guaranteed! But it was WORTH IT! After coming down, Elia commented to her mommy, "My legs are shaky!" Yes, I'm sure they were after THAT workout!

We love Bernal, not just for the climb up the rock, but for the quaint little town and the WONDERFUL shops! I actually bought a bunch of sweaters today - I won't say how many! We found a good lunch place and enjoyed a delicious meal of chiles rellenos (three of us) and beef roll with veggies (two of us) - the other two little ones (Elia and Dayton) enjoyed their rice and vegetable soup. What a wonderful place to visit! Y'all come, hear?
