Pretty Portugal

Portugal was a blast! The weather was beautiful and sunny almost every day. A few days it was actually warm enough to sit in the sun in just a t-shirt!!! It's easy to forget how much you love the sun when you've been living in Germany. We saw some of the most beautiful beaches we've ever seen and just enjoyed being together.

Here is Michael giving Jack a tennis lesson. Jack really had a great time... but mostly just chased the ball around.

Playing tennis is hard work.... time for a break.

It was finally time to cut Jack's unruly hair. He almost made it through to the end, but was persistent about getting out of the chair.... even though she wasn't quite finished yet. We don't have a picture, but his hair is really short now. She even spiked it and put gel in it... he looked like a little European kid.

We found this great park overlooking the ocean. It was great to see Michael and Jack having so much fun together. Jack loved the see-saws and the swings.

Jack enjoyed climbing up on the sand dunes.

Michael took these amazing picutres. Everywhere we stopped had views like this..... looks like a postcard, doesn't it?

Jack loved the beach!!! He couldn't get enough of the waves and loved jumping in them, over them, and splashing in them. Can't wait for those warm SC beaches this summer!

Here is Jack at the park again.... loving the swings.

loving the see-saw...

Luke and Daddy are getting a little sun in our backyard.

I am such a happy boy!

We went to Fatima when we arrived in Portugal. It was a long drive, but worth it. It was beautiful and very moving.
