Come With Us to the Great Outdoors (ENG-ESP)

The balmy weather is finally upon us, and together as a family, we have been soaking up as much as possible 🌞 Please, won't you join us on yesterday's adventure? 🙏


¡Por fin llegó el clima cálido y, en familia, lo hemos disfrutado al máximo! 🌞 ¿Te animas a acompañarnos en la aventura de ayer? 🙏

The day began quite pleasantly -- the sun was beaming down, and a soft wind embraced us everywhere we went. The girls wanted to go to a park (no surprise there! 😂), so we figured a quick trip was in order.


El día empezó de maravilla: el sol brillaba con fuerza y ​​una suave brisa nos acariciaba allá donde íbamos. Las chicas querían ir a un parque (¡para nada sorprendente! 😂), así que pensamos que una escapada rápida sería lo ideal.

Our girls LOVE the parks; we've been taking them ever since they were both first born.


A nuestras hijas les ENCANTAN los parques; las llevamos desde que nacieron.

They had a great time 🥰 As of late, the girls have been having great luck making friends their age, but unfortunately no one was there this time.

Well, unfortunately, for the girls -- it was fortunate for us parents! 😂


¡Se lo pasaron genial! 🥰 Últimamente, las chicas han tenido mucha suerte haciendo amigas de su edad, pero lamentablemente esta vez no había nadie.

Bueno, para su desgracia, ¡fue una suerte para nosotros, los padres! 😂

Regardless, the girls had a wonderful time 😁 Riley, our youngest, will be 3-years-old soon, but she is developing so fast. It took her awhile to learn climbing ladders, etc.


De todas formas, las niñas se lo pasaron de maravilla 😁 Riley, la más pequeña, pronto cumplirá 3 años, pero está creciendo muy rápido. Le costó un poco aprender a subir escaleras, etc.

Shortly after the park, clouds started rolling in. However, we still took a chance and decided to venture out onto the trail next. I saw these lovely flowers blooming; these are called Lavana Camara, or Havana Full Moon. I wonder if anyone here may know of this variety.


Poco después de salir del parque, empezaron a aparecer nubes. Sin embargo, nos arriesgamos y decidimos continuar por el sendero. Vi unas flores preciosas en plena floración; se llaman Lavana Camara o Lavana Full Moon. Me pregunto si alguien aquí conoce esta variedad.

We also came across some beautiful lilies 🥺 Lilies hold a special place in my heart; my affection for them inspired our oldest daughter's name! 😄 These are beautiful Fata Morgana Lilies.


También encontramos unos lirios preciosos 🥺 Los lirios ocupan un lugar especial en mi corazón; ¡mi cariño por ellos inspiró el nombre de nuestra hija mayor! 😄 Estos son unos hermosos lirios Fata Morgana.

But the red lilies are perhaps my favorite 😍 These are known as Red Asiatic Lilies.


Pero los lirios rojos son quizás mis favoritos 😍 Se les conoce como lirios rojos asiáticos.

I took a picture at the girls' favorite perch. It's a little platform that overlooks the street down below. Anytime we approach it, both girls make it their life's mission to climb on top of it 😄 This time there was some graffiti done on the wall, which I thought provided a unique vibe to the photo...


Tomé una foto en el lugar favorito de las niñas. Es una pequeña plataforma con vista a la calle. Cada vez que nos acercamos, se proponen subirse a ella como misión de vida 😄 Esta vez había un grafiti en la pared, lo que le dio un toque único a la foto...

(I caught sight of this sticker on top of an injection needles box/dr*gs. Given the context, I thought this was quite fitting! 😂)


(Vi esta pegatina encima de una caja de agujas de inyección/medicamentos. Dado el contexto, ¡me pareció bastante apropiada! 😂)

(The picture reads, "I hope this email kills us both")

Along the trail, it started to rain a bit. However, it was no skin off our backs, for we were looking for bugs and salamanders anyway! 😂 Worms love the moist weather, and salamanders love worms, so everything worked out!


En el camino empezó a llover un poco. Pero no nos importó, ¡porque de todas formas estábamos buscando insectos y salamandras! 😂 A los gusanos les encanta la humedad, y a las salamandras les encantan los gusanos, ¡así que todo salió bien!

Thankfully, the girls were able to find some lizards. Our oldest used to be terrified of crawling critters when she was a babe, but now she is starting to take it upon herself to pick them up with her fingers!


Por suerte, las niñas lograron encontrar algunas lagartijas. Nuestra hija mayor, cuando era bebé, le tenía pánico a los bichos que se arrastraban, ¡pero ahora está empezando a cogerlos con los dedos!

They also found... a caterpillar! 😄 This is a Confused Haploa Moth Caterpillar. Some caterpillars here can be poisonous, or irritate skin with their rough barbs, but this species is okay 👍 We let the girls take it home for the night, and we are going to release him today 🙏


También encontraron... ¡una oruga! 😄 Se trata de una oruga de la polilla Haploa confusa. Algunas orugas de esta zona pueden ser venenosas o irritar la piel con sus púas ásperas, pero esta especie no causa ningún problema 👍 Dejamos que las chicas se la llevaran a casa por la noche y hoy la vamos a liberar 🙏

It is fascinating to watch the girls at this age, and see my younger self reflected in them. I used to love scavenging for bugs when I was a little girl. In fact, I was also fortunate enough to have collected caterpillars during my youth. This helps me remember that it is what parenting is all about...


Es fascinante observar a las niñas a esta edad y ver reflejada en ellas a mi yo de niña. De pequeña me encantaba buscar insectos. De hecho, tuve la suerte de coleccionar orugas durante mi juventud. Esto me recuerda que de eso se trata la crianza de los hijos...
