Ethan and the Doggies


These are some pictures of Ethan with George and Gracie


Ethan likes to "pet" G&G, which really means a soft open handed hit on their backs or a grab of their ears.


For some reason, the dogs are very patient with Ethan - I am sure it has nothing to do with the food Ethan slips to them whenever he eats in his high chair....

Dog Walk!


A couple of weeks ago we participated in a 3K dog walk. The walk was around one of the city parks on an absolutely gorgeous early fall afternoon. Those dogs under ten pounds only had to do 1.5K, but out pups were up for the 3K...and then some.



Everyone received bright yellow shirts (even the doggies).



After the walk there were performances and different booths to check out in the park. Ethan enjoyed dancing to the music on our shoulders.

Future Consular Officer?

Nope, Ethan was not working the visa line! He did have a doctor's appointment at the embassy though. When Steve came down to see us and still had his headphones with him, Ethan wanted to check them out.

Last Steak in Town

We were able to go out for one last steak with Mom and Courtney on their last day in town. Here are some pictures from our yummy meal!

San Telmo and El Ateneo

Still blogging out fun visit with Mom and Courtney! Here are some more photos from their last couple of days here. Above is a picture of San Telmo during the Sunday market. It was hot, crowded and lots of fun. There were tons of stalls and shops open with all kinds of different antiques, jewelry, books and gewgaws for sale!


There is a chain of bookstores here called El Ateneo, and one of their stores in BA is actually in an old theater!

There are books on all of the levels overlooking the main area, and the bookstore's cafe is located on the stage.


What more could Aunt Courntey want? A bookstore, a theater and a handsome nephew to do a little dance with!

Tigre

Ethan here - so, over the last weekend Mimi and Aunt Courtney were in town we did so much! On Saturday we went to Tigre, which is a town north of the city that you can get to by train. You can take a "tourist" line that stops along the way. We stopped at a flea market stop where there was lots of things to see.


After that we walked all around Tigre, which is right on the river delta. A lot of people get around here by boat. They have ambulance boats, school "bus" boats and even ice cream delivery boats!



It was really hot and sunny that day, and I did not want to wear my hat....so Mom put suntan lotion right on my head....how embarrassing
