SUPER Sunday in Medellín

While everyone at home was immersed in Super Bowl Sunday, we had a SUPER Sunday here in Medellín!  We had a yummy breakfast buffet downstairs and then headed to Tesoro Mall.  Tesoro is the mall with the outdoor amusement park called "Happy City!"  We have already been once before but I promised Tori we could go back and ride a few more things.  Since this morning was sunny and beautiful, we headed out.  We had a great time at the park, but God had a couple of surprises in store for us today!

Not long after arriving, Evie, Juliana and I sat waiting for Tori to play on a slide/climbing area.  While we sat in the warm sunshine, up walked a family with a tiny little one who has Down syndrome.  They immediately saw Juliana and approached us.  Their daughter, Sofia, is two years old and nearly as big as Juliana.  The two girls were SO adorable together!!!  I had so much fun talking with her parents.  Sofia's mom and I are already "friends" on FB.  It was a precious time and most definitely God ordained! Just look at the cuteness!

Best Big Sister EVER!!!

Tori tried several new things today.  She gave the rock climbing wall a go and rode the electric bull.  We thought the bull riding was appropriate since this month is known for Bull Fighting here in Medellín.  In fact, many of the bull fighters are staying here at the hotel and we have seen them practicing in a small ring on the grounds.  Quite a sight!  I tried to get Evie on the bull but she refused - NO FUN!!!  She did ride a few things with Tori.  It's hard to get a pic of her since she's usually the one taking them. 

You'll notice that most of the pics of our sweet little one are blurry.  The reason?!?  She's constantly moving!!!  Such a fun and happy treasure!


Tori looks a little dizzy after Evie spun the Hot Air Balloon SO fast!

We ended our time out with a drink to cool off.  As we were seated, the family next to us got up to leave.  They immediately saw Juliana and came over to our table.  Their fifteen year old daughter has Ds and they were so intrigued that we are adopting Juliana.  They were very sweet and encouraging!!! Their daughter loved Evie and gave her a big hug as they left.  What a blessing and treat!

Truly a SUPER SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!
