A Birthday Party and A Brand New Park

Ellie and Ben helped a friend celebrate his 5th birthday last weekend, and in the process we were introduced to a great new park in the heart of Santiago!

In a circle starting from Ellie: Ellie, Julian (birthday boy and church/school friend), Ben, John (embassy kid), Nathan (Julian's brother), Riley (another brother), and Patrick (embassy kid)


Ben and Ellie learn the ropes.

The world's coolest swing--part rope swing, part teeter-totter.

No Chilean playground in a well-to-do neighborhood would be complete without a vendor hawking cheap toys. This is also an organ grinder.

This country is so beautiful! It seems the sun is always shining and everything is really green and you're all just having a great time. Hope it's true and not just a mirage. Love the photos - how wonderful that everywhere you go in the Foreign Service there are always friends to be made, both for you and Nathan and for the kids.
Love,
Mom
