We arrived at Montevideo at 8am on February 15th, the day after we got on the ship in Buenos Aires. Look at a map or globe. They are right next to each other. As it was a Sunday, Fiona took Bran and Nuala to church. Zachariah was so kind and stayed home from church that morning for us. He picked us up, drove us around the city a little and then took us to a nice beach about 45 minutes away from their house. It was so nice that he had car seats (for the twins) in his car for Jonah and Jack. And snacks too!
Here is a picture of Zachariah and Jonah building a sand castle. Paige is in the background, in the water of course!
Jack loved taking walks on the beach with Nana. He did not like to wade into the water, but he loved to have his feet dipped. No wet sand for him!
After playing at the beach, Zac drove us back to his house. He and Mike drove to pick up pizzas for lunch and then to pick up Fiona and the kids from church while Nana and I stayed with our kids and let them play with Nuala and Bran's toys.Jack and Jonah LOVED their motos!
Notice Jonah. He found a toy raccoon to play with!
Paige enjoyed the books most, and then the pool later on (which I don't have any pictures of!).
When everyone arrived home (the Rollins' home) we had a nice pizza lunch thanks to Zac and Fiona and a little time to visit while we broke up arguments or encouraged sharing with our five tired children. Good times! It was so nice to see where our friends have been living, as we don't get to Uraguay to often... Thank you for sharing your home and food with us! We all enjoyed ourselves.

Yeah, it would be nice if you would stop by more often...and you call yourselves our friends!! haha ;)
Montevideo is a little off the beaten path. Too bad you couldn't have stayed longer and enjoyed the beach some more. Also, a couple weeks back we found a really cool kids park that would have been fun to take the kids too, complete with ziplines and old railroad cars turned into forts.
Zac had more or less told me a few times, don’t waste your time in Montevideo looking at the buildings, it is nothing, especially after seeing Buenos Aires. Instead go to the beach. Well that was great advice. I only wish we had more time to spend there, it was a nice beach. It was also great heading to the Rollin’s for lunch, I’m glad we got to see where they have been living for the past two years.
