Time would fly..

I haven't forgotten with blogging we have had a lot going on!!

We left for Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on August 13th but leading up to that I had gotten folliculitis, which is an infection in the hair follicles in your body which lead me to a fever and feeling horrible. Less than 24hours later I was SO much better but Carlos developed a pilonidal cyst, which is a cyst on his tailbone. He was miserable:-( I almost bought trip insurance in case he wouldn't make it. So it was all up to me to pack for the four of us, clean the house (sort of) get the dog taken care, laundry done etc.. Thankfully the surgeon pulled through the day before we left and was able to drain it and he was 80% better by the time he left the surgeons office. Talk about cutting it close but he could go!!

        4:45am we were off to JFK 

           Getting ready for take off

I'm trying to catch up so these are just my phone pictures, the camera has ALOT more.

  Our first night there Anthony was waiting to go to dinner.

        Our view from the hotel suite

              Ready for the beach

I also didn't have my phone or camera with me all the time as I wanted to be in the moment!

                 Eating lunch in Toro

          He was really enjoying lunch

          I

zabella napping at the pool

I swear these kids were meant to travel, napping poolside. He also decided on the plane ride down to roll over and nap. They were so easy to travel with.

My Mom waiting for new friends to arrive for dinner.

       My Step-Dad Chip aka Nonno

          Carlos looking handsome

              A beautiful morning

 We were off for the "Dominican Experience" tour off to the mountains we went.

The nice part about the adults outnumbering the kids was Carlos and I had time for each other.

             I loved these flowers

This guy waits on the road for the tours to come holding many snakes. We had people who were terrified of snakes so we didn't stop but I still tried to snap a picture.

 An adorable little house in the mountains

          Checking out the crocodile

      

Such a beautiful view with the option to zip line

Anthony got bit by a parrot, it didn't hurt him but scared him!

An area to buy lunch and plenty of hammocks to rest. Our kids came up with a game by pushing myself or Corinne in the hammocks an called it the brazalian butt face game.. Haha it was so much fun.

       Hibachi dinner back at the resort

               My little man and I
