Happy Birthday Anderson!

For those of you who haven't been keeping track, yesterday was Anderson's 6 month birthday! My baby is getting so old! :(

Hugo will probably have to start working 7 days a week in December, so we decided to take advantage of one of the last "family days" available. We went to his mom's house for a bit and then we all went to a brand-new park. It was a great day!

Check out our first ever family photo! The ones that I take with my arm sticking out and our heads chopped off don't count. :)

Ever wonder where your poinsettias come from? Well...they come from tropical places like El Salvador! This poinsettia tree grows in Hugo's mom's back yard. So pretty!

The park we went to used to be a coffee finca (farm). It was huge. And gorgeous. These are coffee trees. Not really what I expected. Not sure what I expected a coffee tree to look like (I've never put a lot of thought into such things), but I didn't think it would be a 5ish foot tall bush!

These are coffee berries growing on the branch. Each berry has two beans.

The red berries are ready to be picked. All coffee is harvested by hand. Hugo's mom picks coffee for $1.25 for each 25 pounds picked. A few years ago, Hugo helped his mom. They worked as a team: she picked and he hauled the bags back to the scale. In one day, they picked 300 pounds of berries. That's straight up crazy!

This is the view from what was the finca house. Can you imagine waking up to that every morning?!

There was this crazy bungee/swing thing at the park. Pretty sure you couldn't pay me enough money to even think about doing something like that!

So, when we left the house, Hugo said, "We'll just go to my mom's for a bit. We won't be there long." Yeah right. We were there forever! As a result, we didn't even go to the park until almost 5pm. By the time we were ready to leave, it was pretty chilly. Because I didn't plan to be out so late, I didn't bring enough warm clothes for Anderson (yeah, yeah...lesson learned...bring everything, even if you don't think you'll need it). When it started to get cool, Hugo's mom raided Anderson's diaper bag and covered him with pretty much everything I had. Yeah, it was cool but I can guarantee it wasn't THIS cold!!! :)
