Rio de Janeiro!!

RIO!!!! This weekend we went to Rio and had an awesome time together! I am so glad we went! 



Here is the view from our hotel room! YAY! 





This is on our first day... eating breakfast at the buffet, SJ is enjoying a Pão do Queijo! 
Here is a really big bug we saw while walking up to see the Christ. 
And here it is!!! The Christ Statue! 



Here is a view from the Christ Statue! 


After the Christ Statue, we headed over to the Pão de Açucar, a mountain where you take cable cars up to the top. Here is a picture from a car passing another. 
Here is another view, except from the Pão de Açucar! 


Up on the mountain, there were little picture taking stations and it was showing the history of Rio and such and such. Above, you will see all of the lister kids in one of the old bus things. (I am the extremely tall man! )

After sight-seeing, we went back to the hotel and to the pool! These are my feet by the way.. :) 
My mom took this picture of all 4 of the children in the pool! We had lots of fun together this weekend and I would defiantly go back to Rio! 
At the hotel (and sometimes even in our backyard) there are little monkeys wandering around the trees! They are cute but never get very close to people.  

Right down below the pool, we went to the beach as well. Here you can see our happy little (or not so little) family walking down the beach! 

Here we are jumping waves! We were really close to shore that day because the waves and current were strong.

Last but not least, our wonderful kid portrait! I didn't know that Sydney was also kissing Hudson! It was a good picture though! :)

Just Chilling!

After we visited our family in America we came back to Brazil and relaxed! Here it is summer so our Christmas break is way longer and we go back to school on the 30th. I thought I would just make sure people know I'm still alive so here are some pics of what I've been doing...or what not. 





Here is Benny after Hudson attacked his toys and buried him in them.
