Splish Splash - Bath

The Pep, after a long hard rainy morning, reaps the benefits of Dolly's effects in Houston. A required bath after so much splashing offered the Pep some quality time with Rio.
Meanwhile, Rio enjoys a moment of teething with his yellow tugboat.

Beach Party Fun

Rio and Inés splash around with Papa at Surfside Beach accompanied by...
the Alfaro clan which included all of their cousins: Carmen, Vicki, Sofia and Bianca.
Ending the morning with a special birthday celebration for their Abu in which all the kids (except Rio) gladly helped finish his large brownie à la mode.
A special Thank You! to Tití Karen for having us as guests at her beach house.

Circus Pepamus/ Circo Fiume

The following are moments of awe and wonder captured on the faces of Inés and Rio during their attendance on Opening night of the RBBB Circus, Bellobration:
A nail-biting moment for Rio in the middle of the high wire act: Alberto and Mauricio Aguilar.Inés wriggled her fingers during the RBBB Pre-show which offered a great warm-up with the dynamic performing dogs!
As did the trapeze artists and clowns with their ballyhoo for Rio.
Rummaging through performer's costumes - the Pep sported a shimmery purple cape - with Papa's help.
During the Animal Open House, Inés met the Elephants (left) as Rio was busy watching the Zebras (right).
In the end it was too much excitement and stimulation for all...Rio fell asleep and Inés quickly stated "It's time to go Home."

Ball girl Pep.
Paparazzi shot of Ines on the court.
And finally, the 4-6 year-old class, ensemble.

The National Junior Tennis League hosts these shindigs year-round, free of charge. All you need is to hold the love of the sport in your heart. And Rafael Nadal. What?

Baby Steps for Rio

First, he ponders seriously on which direction he shall proceed.
Finally, he throws caution to the wind and ventures outward, not knowing what will happen.

Why I Love My Papa...

He always loves to take me to the playground,
and is willing to slide down with me when I really, really want to, even if...
the slides are too darn hot! Thank You Papi for being the best heat shield ever!
