Rio with Friends

Scott's college roommate, Brad, and his wife, Anne, came to visit us. We spent a few days with them in Rio and then they came to Horizontina. It was amazing to see Rio for a second time. I can hardly believe it. We feel very blessed to get have spent some more time in such a beautiful city. It was also so fun to share with friends, and then get to share our city of Horizontina and the Brazilian culture.

Our last visit focused mainly on seeing all the sights in Rio. This time we wanted to spend more time at the beach. While Brad and Anne had a tour of the city, we hung out at the beach. Here are the boys playing in the sand.

We decided to rent a couple of paddle boards and try that in the ocean. Scott is fitting in with everyone in his Brazilian trunks.

Scott and Isaac took the first ride. They did great.

Ethan and I paddled together. The view of the beach from the ocean is gorgeous. Ethan was so cute. He was not strong enough to paddle against the wind, so he paddled on the same side the entire time, and I still had to push him around myself. We got pretty far out from shore because of that.

Scott and Ethan enjoying some snacks on the beach.

Isaac and I did a little body surfing.

Owen would not go near the ocean, but he loved the showers for washing off your feet.

We had to stop at the juice bar for some fresh juice. Ethan loves the acai juice, which is a Rio specialty.

Brad and Anne are enjoying some coconut juice.
