Fun Day with Nana!

Matt's mom arrived to the house around 11 last night.  We woke Haley up just to say hi, but there were still cobwebs in her head, and she didn't know what was happening.  This morning, Haley was actually scared to walk into her bedroom to find someone sleepingin one of the twin size beds.  The fear did not last for long.  Very soon after, she realized that her beloved NANA was the person in her room, and tears quickly turned to laughter and glee.  Immediately, Nana began to empty her suitcase.  It was like Christmas (for Haley anyway).  Nana came with a very cute Easter dress, shoes, socks and lots of new clothes and some books that have Cheryl's voice recorded in them (we call them Nana books).  Evidently, Nana thought that the extra suitcases of spring and summer clothes that we broght home at Christmas would already be worn out.  Or maybe it is just a Nana's joy to buy pretty little outfits.  Haley was already dressed when Nana woke up, but throughout the day, she managed to still wear two of the new outfits.

After everyone was dressed and bathed, we walked a few blocks away for donuts and continued our morning adventure by going to our local fruit market.  Cheryl had never been to an open air fruit market before (unless you count Fresh Pickens in BR), so she was very impressed by everything.  Once we got home, Haley was ready for a nap.

After Haley's nap, we changed her from her clothes that had a combination of park stuff and strawberry milk into a new outfit that Nana brought.  We needed to go get groceries, but we couldn't get ahold of the taxi service so we took a bus.  We prefer riding the buses.  I'm not sure which Cheryl prefers though (she doesn't like the driving here and that is an understatement).  At the store, Cheryl bought us lunch in the food court and then bought our groceries too.

After Haley's second nap (since she was sick, she is still extra tired) we headed off to parque gringo for Haley to play.  Haley is a very good climber, but this made Nana a little bit nervous.  Nana was always right behind her incase she missed a step.  Haley, as always had so much fun at the park.  We came home, and we were all dirty and needed to change before we went out to eat.

We had heard from a couple of our teachers that there was a great Italian restaurant, so we decided to go there.  There are no street signs or marked addresses here so giving a taxi driver the address is always interesting.  I told him we wanted to go 100 meters north of the main church in San Pedro, and he took us 100 meters north of the main church in Zapote.  I looked around and said, we are going to a restaurant near the church of San Pedro.  He said he misunderstood me and whipped us through many turns as fast as he could.  We finally got to the restaurant, and our teachers had provided a great reccomendation for Italian cuisine.  Our waiter brought Haley a little bit of bread dough to play with while we enjoyed our meal.  She only tried to eat the dough a couple of times.

During of the course of the day, Haley wore 3 outfits, 2 sets of pajamas, and 4 pairs of shoes.  I would say she is a diva.
