The 25th of May is Bolivia's Independence Day.  We always celebrate every year at my school.  This year we got to dress up in traditional Bolivian dress and do a Bolivian dance.  I was SO excited.  Hope you like my pictures.

This is a good shot at my braids.  Bolivian women always braid black tassels on the end of their braids to make them look longer.  I realized that you kind of loose the effect when you put the black tassels on blond hair...but I LOVED wearing them anyways.   

My best friends...are you starting to recognized these faces yet?

Big Girl

I've got stuff to say too!  I did a lot of growing up before we left Bolivia.  Here are some of my big girl moments I really proud of.  

First bath in the big bath tub.  My Mom bathed my in the kitchen sink for over a year!  What's up with that?  This was WAY better!

My Mom found me like this one day.  I had gotten a book and crawled up on the couch all by myself.

Big enough to play in the ball pit!

I love being silly and making everyone laugh.

Just call me Miss Independent

Fun Day

Before I tell you about leaving Bolivia, I still have some fun stuff to tell you about before we left.  As you probably read in a previous post, I celebrated by 5th birthday at my school.  But on my actual birthday, my parents let me spend the day with a few of my closest friends.  

We went to my favorite restaurant to eat lunch together after school.

One of the reasons this is my favorite restaurants is because it has this big play area!  Almost like Chic-fil-A.

It also had a trampoline.

Then we made our own canastas (baskets) to hold all the candy from my pinnata.

Next we decorated cupcakes

After the pinnata we did some bowling

Then a movie...are we tired yet?

Long time, no post

It has been a really long time since I've been able to blog.  Our family has been really busy.  We aren't even living in Bolivia any more!  Since my last blog we have been to:

Santa Cruz, Bolivia
Panama City, Panama
Orlando, Florida
Columbus, OH
Cincinnati, OH
Sioux City, IA
Yankton, SD
Sioux Falls, SD
Storm Lake, IA

The good thing is I've got a TON of material for new blogs.  So get ready...here it comes!
