We were with a Brazilian family and an American family last Sunday and had a cookout. While we were there we celebrated Sierra’s 5th birthday!

Melhor Amigas pra Sempre (Best Friends Forever)–they had such fun playing dress-up

We also had chocolate cake and a candle in the shape of a 5.

One day at the park, Luke saw one of his school friends, Mateus.  Mateus was learning to ride his bike and let Luke have a turn too.  Luke’s first time on a bike in almost a year–he was pretty happy!

There ARE basketball hoops in Brazil!

One of Luke’s favorite things to do: Build a sandcastle and destroy it!
