WATER!

For these I am thankful (#29)....
WATER

December looks a bit different in Paraguay than in North America.  Instead of snow, we have heat – like 100 degrees of it.  The weather isn’t too conducive to hot chocolate and sitting in front of a fireplace.  Instead, we eat watermelon and sit under the shade of the mango trees sipping even more terere.  Instead of jackets and boots, our children are running around shirtless and shoeless and in search of water in which to swim. 
Because we are living in a land-locked country, we have to look for creative alternatives to keeping cool.

Our dog LOVES water.




WATER GAME with our SIM TEAM
The kids waiting to throw wet sponges at the adults.  They were ruthless!

 Attack!

That's where my boys get it from!


Staying cool with watermelon.




 Car washin'


Even Julia joined in.

Then she got tired and sat in the car washing water.
