Fall time

Wynn and Abby both ran cross country in the fall while Sydney geared up for Speech and Debate season.

Rio

At the end of the trip we spent a day in Rio. I got to check an item off my bucket list by going hang gliding. We also visited the Christ the Redeemer statue, sugar loaf mountain cable car and the botanical gardens. It was a whirlwind trip and we saw so many things. We are so grateful for the Pack's who took care of the kids while we were gone. 

Ilha Grande

At Ilha Grande, we hiked to a beach and some aqueduct ruins, saw monkeys, ate dinner on the beach, kayaked and more! Our hotel was in a jungle area and was so beautiful. 

Paraty

After leaving Iguazu Falls we took a flight further north to the coastal town of Paraty. It is a very old town with cobblestone streets and beautiful beaches. We spent the first day at Lopez Mendez Beach, which you can get toby boat and then hiking. The seconds day, Andy and Keith went scuba diving, and Paige and I went on a boat tour to several different beaches in the area.
