weekend update

a festival of fun this weekend ...


saturday brought a shopping trip to a consignment store in search of a halloween costume. "mission accomplished," to coin a phrase, and jack scored a duck outfit. should be very cute ... you'll have to tune in november 1st to see it in use.


we also enjoyed lunch and playtime with diddykins, sneetch and the jellybean -- and ajax, the dog, too! we are all getting excited for the bean to debut!


sunday brought nana over for the chilean festival -- being held right down the street -- celebrating "september 18th" (which is their july 4th ... just running late, latin-style). daddy kept calling it the chili cook-off, but that's not the same thing!


we enjoyed walking around, hearing the music, smelling the food ...



and looking at the many dogs!



even though jack was feeling slightly under the weather with a runny nose, he managed to have a pretty good time!




and jack's nana even bought him an empanada for lunch!




we couldn't stay long enough to watch the cueca dancers ... too bad.





we headed for home and then mommy headed off for a baby shower while daddy and jack enjoyed some playground time.


a nice weekend -- buen fin de semana -- and a happy independence day to chile!


note: all pictures can be clicked on to make them bigger. the one of jack and the dog particularly bears enlarging!
