Weekend Visitor for San Isidro

We wrapped up our weekend festivities by attending the local carnival in celebration of San Isidro.  It's standard fare to have all kinds of food and rides,  pretty much just like in the States.
We had a tag along for the weekend.
Introducing Moli!
He attended church with us.
Reegan, Moli & Me by the stage.  Lots of singin' going on!
One of my favorite foods and one of the things I am determined to make before we move is Paella.
 We let the kids chose one ride.  I know, mean ole parents only letting them ride one thing, but whoa nellie is it expensive!!  It's €3 ($4.25) a kid!!  They all happened to choose the same thing, the Sponge Bob bounce house.



 We splurged in the eating department though and got a cotton candy (that we all shared) and then got ice cream.
 Since the rides were so expensive we let the kids play at the nearby park.  Had to run off all that sugar and fat!

 We were all fairly tired by days end.  Especially Moli and Reegan!
You might notice Karis is missing from a lot of the pics.  It is hard to get that girl to be still for a second!  Ha!

Back to life as normal.  Or as normal as it can be for the end of the school year, with a move in the nearby future, applying for a new school and looking for apartments with planning a vacation stuck in there!

  1. When you do cook the paella, Gwenyth Paltrow says that her Spanish 'mother' always poured the rice into the pan in the shape of a cross. Make sure you do that. :)

  2. Wow! $4.25 is a lot for one ride, especially if you've got more than one kid. On the other hand, doesn't it cost like $579 to get into Disneyland, and how many rides do the kids actually get to? :)

    Good luck with the Paella and good luck with your future move!

  3. Looks like a good time was had by all! My little one has a Snuggle Bunny friend which never gets left behind either. I traveled to Spain long, long ago and paella was one of my favorite memories ... YUM!

    Stopping by from SITS - can't wait to check out more of your blog. Have a fantastic weekend!
