So, today we went to an estancia, which is a working ranch, where one can ride horses and do a lot of other things as well. The last time the girls rode horses, on our weekend trip to Cabo Polonio, their route was—no kidding—exactly on a fault line where Africa broke off from South America and you can essentially see one of the great land shifts. How cool is that?!
Today's favorite activity, however, beating out the bike rides, the pool table, the good food, and the playground, was the huge, bonafide, fabulously 
clean
swimmingpool. OK, it's cool to be around rivers and oceans and lakes—but when it comes to playing in the water, nothing beats good ol' chlorine, the stuff our little mermaids were trained in and that they have in their own backyard!
Additionally, somehow we had neglected to use the underwater feature on Katie's camera before now. I suspect this oversight will be corrected this summer once we return to Abilene, because they had so much fun playing Ariel!

Karen,
That is assuming your pool is clean. I have been cleaning it every Saturday, but it is not draining like it should. When I get back from Galvestion (I leave at 5:00 am tomorrow, Sunday, and return Wednesday), I am going to call Southwest pools because Ken told me I could. I have done everything like he said and tried everything, but to no avail. It will be clean by the the time you get home. Ok under water I can't tell Katie and Krista apart or is that because I haven't seen them in three months and they have grown up?
I really wanted you all to watch that movie as a family the first time through! Did you get your butter knife?
Gayla
Gayla, got the box! It only cost me an arm and a leg, cutting about 5 yards of red tape, and a whole afternoon!
But it was worth it! Thanks SO much! We love the watches, the headphones, the PEANUT BUTTER, the chocolate, the ziplocs, the movie (yet to be seen), the frisbees, the pajamas, the... everything! You and Mom rock! Thanks, thanks, thanks!
I agree with Gayla, the top picture is the most I've ever seen Krista looking like Katie. Looked like fun. The water here is too cold for any of that - actually looking forward to summmer for that reason, if not for the more obvious - you will be back with us!
For the record, the photos are of Krista, Katie, Krista, Katie, in that order! :)
