Valentine's Day

Here's a photo montage of our V-day, celebrated the day before. In the afternoon, we dropped Natty of with Faith and the girls and went to go see a movie at the new theater- awesome! Then we picked up soft, buttery pretzels, just like you find in the malls in the US...I'm crumpling into a little, happy ball as I think about it. Scotty bought me Belgian and Swiss chocolates and cinnamon roll pop tarts for Sunday...love that man.
Lilies- my favorite.
"Do we have to take a drive through the country?"
Flat tire on the way up.
Sleepy baby misses the pretty scenery as we head up the hill to a small town near Mallasilla.
Wake up! We're at the lake and ready for a hike.
These were the boats still floating. We saw a handful that had been left a foot under water.
Then Scotty takes Natty into a public restroom. He said this was the kind with a hole and a footprint on each side.
Love the flower gardens!

Until recently, we were thrilled to enjoy a week or so straight with sunny skies and warm temps! We took advantage of that to drive up to Achocalla, the closest countryside to us- a mere 5 minutes from our small community. It winds all the way up to El Alto, 2,000ft. above us, but passes through some beautiful hills and neighborhoods with lots of animals for Natty to see. It was a lovely way to spend the morning.

Make sure to get the flat repaired soon so you don't get caught without a spare. Did you go all the way up to the Alto Plano or did you just go to the lake and turn around and return home the same way?
