Peloza Kids: Extended Family Edition

In what I think is a first, this space marks the passing of an extended family fur-kid. That big puffy chair must feel empty tonight. Goodbye cousin Luke. 🐾

It's tough these days to remember to record life. This is a consequence of a full life, I guess. Let's get the Rubble pictures out of the way first. Here are some, a good range of sleepy and excite-a-dog.

And marching band memories continue. 

For kids' Fall Break, off we go to a location that is a) close enough to do in a few days, b) interesting, c) relatively inexpensive, d) awesome and e) an opportunity for the kids to catch up to some key family history. No, not Mount Sterling. Guatemala.

First, some recreations. One is the first virtual visit for the kids in January 2015. Now they are there in person to capture the same moment from Panza Verde.

 

Another, this time with a photo bomber.

The recreation game needs to be stepped up. Noted. Now on with new pictures.

Working from the palace.

One more double photo, an unintentional recreation.

Sky Cafe felt so touristy this time around.

Alexzal.

New from just after the wedding is one of the foremost tourist destinations in the Western Hemisphere. A hobbit themed little area up the side of a mountain. With a giant hand sticking out off of a cliff.

Just moments before Eva drank, and then puked, a pumpkin spiced latte.

Back at it in the French restaurant later that night.

KIds and Perros

Recent posts have had a lot of one particular kid in the home, the newest addition. The weird thing is that he's even cuter in person.

There were some things happening with humans as well. For example, Eva cleaned her room.

And had a birthday!

And can still defy gravity on a random Saturday morning during a trip to Canada.

 Levi is now a fully functioning driver, having pass his exam just in time to drive himself to school in the morning.

And resumed his marching band position in the trombone section.

 

 

And a new school year brings a new football season. Although this is the game that never happened, at least for us. Having arrived at our seats about 15 minutes before kick off the game was delayed due to weather. The kids hung around for about the first hour then walked home. After another 45 minutes or so we walked home, just in time to see the game eventually start on our TV.

Finally, a trip back to Lima. This post is being written from the window that gave me this glorious view for 8 days. This was the first sun of the trip, about 3 days in, so it was worth capturing.

 

Then a weekend exploring Lima and its cuisine. Ceviche.

So many random paintings in tiny spaces randomly placed throughout.

 The second pano of the post, this one is about 65% of the Plaza Mayor.

Rest.

Work.
