Grandmommy and Papa!

We dropped "the Matt's" off at the airport and picked up my parents at the same time!  I was worried that Carolina wouldn't remember them or that she would be shy around them, but that wasn't the case at all!  I'm SOOO thankful for Skype, b/c she completely KNEW them and was thrilled to be with them!!  That, of course, made my parents' day! :)

Dad and the boys just after they arrived.  The boys could hardly get enough of Papa! :)

My parents arrived on Friday and we left Sat. for a beach resort in Southern Spain.  It was an amazing week of relaxing, swimming, and playing!

Carolina was SOOOO thrilled to be with my mom. She got lots of one on one attention, and she just ate it up!

They had a blast!

Carolina was hilarious.  She proved to be a total girl here... she enjoyed laying on a lounge chair, soaking up the fresh ocean air!  The sand here is more like sand mixed with dirt, and she didn't like getting dirty at all.

There were several days where Carolina took her nap right on the beach!  It was so great for me!... the boys played, Carolina slept, and I got to read!!!!  :)  definitely luxury! :)

In every little town, there are all these little fountains all over the place for drinking, washing hands, or just getting refreshed.  The kids are all a little too familiar with them, and before any of us could do anything, Carolina was drinking it... and getting completely soaked!

Wes and I on a date in Puerto Banús... I've never seen such yachts before!  It was beautiful.

We had a week together at the beach, and then we came home to Cáceres for a week. 

My poor dad was sick for the first couple days in Cáceres, but Carolina couldn't resist being with him.

Mom and Nathan!

One last pic together... 

We all had such a good time together; and after not seeing them for 14 months, it was really hard to say goodbye again. :(  But, we will treasure the memories of our time together, and hopefully see them again next year!! :)  In the mean time... we still have Skype. :)
