A Giveaway and a Smile

This weekend the family and I headed out to the old airport in Ecuador. It's no longer in service and you know what they decided to turn it into? The BIGGEST recreational park I have ever seen!!!

From food (super important to me), amusement rides, rock climbing, kites, biking, every sport imaginable, running and walking trails...EVERYTHING! It was even doggy friendly. I loved it!!!!

I packed some snacks for Olivia, packed a blanket and headed out to watch hubby play softball.

Our dog Kingsley could not contain himself. He sniffed as many butts as his little heart desired.

If you are ever in Ecuador and want a fun outdoor activity that the whole family can enjoy, definitely give this park a visit. It's for the outdoorsy person in all of us. Our "outdoorsy" person wants out bad. So bad that hubby and I went to take a look at bikes to buy so we can return to the park and get our workout on.

Seriously though, seeing my family so happy made my heart melt with joy. At that moment, everything was perfect.

In honor of that day, I am giving away a beautifully handmade scarf to share with my readers. It's a made of cotton and it's great to wear on a cool day or when you just want to add a splash of color or sparkly (that is a word...right?) into your wardrobe. Please pardon the quality of the picture, but it was taken with my iphone :-/

The Eagle Has Landed

Yes, friends, we have arrived. We have successfully (sort of), moved from one country to another with a brief stop in the US. We have moved with a baby, a dog, and a very tired husband, but, we made it with most of our sanity still in tact.

Where are we? We are in Quito, Ecudaor. A HUGE change from Barbados, but one we have been looking forward to for quite a while.

There is so much to write about this beautiful country, but I will hold off on sharing that for now. That will come with later posts.

In the mean time, my hunny bunny turned 1 during our travel. GASP! It's been a full year since I was in the hospital waiting to be induced. I was as big as a house, but that was the best day of my life. I was blessed with my Olivia ;-D

We decided to have some family pictures taken during our layover in the US. We hired an AMAZING photographer, her name is Angelita Ballada. Check this chick out, she is AWESOME and with great pricing.

The family headed out to downtown Fayeteville and that's where the magic happened. Olivia would NOT stop smiling. Not only was she tired (past her nap), but she was also hungry,  but she was a true champ. So proud of her.

Here are some of the spectacular pics Angelita took.

By the way, that beautiful banner was courtesy of Didi (AKA, Olivia's Aunt and God Mother). If you are interested in a custom banner, please e-mail her directly. 

There were hundreds of pictures, but these were a couple of my favorites. 

Our next post will take us to Middle Earth. Check us out later!

CHEERS!
