Coolest birthday party ever.


For Amaya's birthday party we went to this awesome restaurant called Andres Carne de Res. The food is amazing but even better is that they have a giant area just for kids to play in while the adults can relax and eat. Actually it's more than just a play area - for $8 per child you can create something at the wood working station (complete with saws, nails and paint), bake cookies, make a pizza, create and paint your own paper mache mask, make jewelry, color, and go to a movie (they have a little kids theatre). They also have a playground, puppet shows, a soccer area, and stilts! The kids obviously had an amazing time. We actually ended up being there for about 4 hours. Amaya was so happy. She loved rocking on the rocking horses and playing in the sand. For an extra $25 they provided us with decorations, a huge yummy cake and a mariachi band for Amaya and Arianna's shared party. Arianna is the daughter of our new good friends here, the Tennys. The girls are only a few days apart. They also have another daughter about a week younger than Jay. Mika and Jay are already best friends. They had SO much fun at Andres.










 New baby!

 Un besito!!

Everyone thought the baby looked just like MyMy :)

 Amaya was thrilled with letting these balloons go. She thought it was so fun! We figured it was her party so she could choose what she wanted to do with them :)

 The birthday girls!


Arianna actually fell asleep at the party and they brought this little cuna basket for her. Amazing! This place just kept getting better and better. We couldn't' believe it but Arianna slept through the entire mariachi band singing and birthday celebrations. She is such  cutie.

The food was great too!!

 Jay and Mika

Wow! What an awesome party for MyMy and Jay...don't think they will ever forget Bogata and that special day! You will have more adventures and more Birthday parties (probably at the same place for a few years) but the first time is the most memorable! I can see the excitement and wonderment in their eyes:) So glad you all are having these incredible experiences. Thanks, mommy, for the time and love you put into sharing your picture adventures and stories with us...the memories will last forever:)

What a perfect celebration for a perfect little two year old. Utah could really use a place like that with all our kids. I love Amaya's little "squat." She is such a little bundle of beauty and can bring smiles quicker than anything else. That looked like four hours of pure bliss. Thanks for sharing a day in your life in Columbia. We love you and miss you.
