Portugal and the Parents!

 Vacation isn't over yet...we got to spend another fabulous week in Portugal! The first couple of days were just with The Haven's amazing staff and other guests! The kids hosted a Kids' Party! Jenni now goes in my book of Heroes for letting the girls take over her kitchen and house! But it confirmed to me that I should never say YES to this...but I am happy that there are nicer moms out there!
 The girls did a great job decorating and cooking!
 Party Time!!!
 Games included: Melt the Icecube...
 Keep the balloon in the air...
 and a potato sack race...the boys were all a little grumpy and worried they would lose!
 Love this shot...however they ended up winning despite the scowls and the girls were great sports! 
 The parents showed up and we spent the day in Lisbon together!
 Monument to the Explorers.
 Not sure how we feel about the Crusaders...BUT impressive monument all the same.

 The Tower of Belem
 Chasing pigeons in the park!
 Jeronimos Monastery to St. Vincent
 Really beautiful...

 On to the real fun...IKEA!!!!!
 The next day the kids got to dog sit! Thanks Kent and Linda for letting us have the dogs!

 My favorite part was taking walks through the orchards and vineyards!



 We stole a few plums! So sweet and yummy!
