This summer, Tiago's abuelito and abuelita invited him to visit their home in Georgia. And, WOW, was this California boy excited about Georgia. Why? you might ask. Well, 1st of all, you must fly on an airplane to get there. 2nd, there are trains there. Old trains, real trains, toy trains. (Need there be more?)
As if playing with abuelito's elaborate toy model train set wasn't enough, we also got to see an old Civil War train: The General! Tiago's exact words were, "Whooaahh! Muy Grande!"

In addition to playing with trains and trucks with his abuelitos, Tiago got his first swim lesson from abuelita. He learned to blow bubbles and kick his legs.
Abuelito, on the other hand, taught him how to defy gravity.
During the hot, humid evenings, we hunted for fire-flies (aka: luciernagas, aka: Tinkerbell)
After a nice stay in Georgia, we hopped in the Jeep and drove to North Carolina to celebrate 4th of July with the cousins.
(More swimming)
(After swimming, the kids watched Cinderella. Naturally, the sparklers were then waved to the tune of Abra-Kadoo, Bipidy Bopidy Boo)
With all of the hot, hot, heat, we got our quota of swimming for the summer (a welcomed heat, since we typically have to fill our kiddie-pool with the tea-kettle back home)!
(An outing at Jordan Lake, followed by super-hero/Disney Character lunch at the La Serna's)
(OK, not all of our summer swimming was done in pools or lakes. Some was done standing in the front yard during a down-poor in 90 degree heat!)
(more trains and automobiles in the "play room" formally known as, mommy's bedroom. check out the oak tree on the wall!)
