We had so much fun with Grandma Sharon and Papa Dave they came in October to see us and to check out Brazil. I am glad to say I wore them out and that is hard to do. We had one week with Dave to go and see the sites and Grandma stayed behind another week to hang out with Louis and I.
So the 1st on our agenda was to fly to Iguazu Falls. We only had one full day there to see the falls and they were beautiful. 2nd was to head to Rio for the rest of the week. There we saw Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf) and the Cristus (Statue of Christ). Then it was back to Campinas for a day and then Papa headed home. Everything was so beautiful and it was an amazing experience to get to see more of Brazil and what is has to offer.
Some of the highlights of our trip was when we were in Iguazu Falls we decided to take the boat ride in and around the falls along with walking around them. The whole day it had rained on us, so by the time we had got to do the boat ride it was the end of our day. Louis was soaked along with all of us. Louis had fallen asleep on the bus ride down to the boats, so I thought no problem I can get his life jacket on and he will stay asleep for the boat right....wrong he woke up as we were getting suited up to get on the boat. He was ok getting on the boat and putting the life jacket on and then we started to head up towards the falls and that is when it turned bad. We were driving into the rain and driving up massive rapids on the river. We had to shield Louis so he would not get even more wet and so the rain would not hurt his face and he did not like that at all. Grandma and Grandpa sat in front of us on the boat and mind you we are the only one on the boat right (that should of been clue #1) So the turn around to talk to Louis and all he could do was look up just a little bit and give them a crusty. He had that look on his face the entire time. He was so made that we would do that to him. Sorry Louis mom was not thinking that taking 1yr on a speed/raft boat in the rain was probably not the best mom decision I have ever made. We survived and it was really fun and a great experience.
So here are so pictures from our 1st adventure in Brazil:
