Hillridge Farm

Had a great time visiting Hillridge Farm one day when the kids had no school. Even though it was late September, it was super hot out so they still had the splash pad open.

Ecuador: Last Day

On our last evening in Guayaquil, we walked to the grocery store near the temple and picked up some food souvenirs. It's always interesting to visit grocery stores in other countries. We went back to the downtown river walk area and had dinner and some of rode the big ferris wheel. It was an amazing 9 days with my family and I'm so glad I was able to go. Ben was so supportive and gave me all of his frequent flyer miles and took off a week of work to watch the kids. I was so happy to see them at the airport and they were excited to get some little souvenirs from Ecuador.

Ecuador: Zip Lining!

We had a fabulous time doing some zip lining in the mountains. (Steph wasn't feeling well and had to stay back at the hotel.) There were 6 different zip lines with some intense hiking between courses. The views were amazing and the thrill of flying over these beautiful canyons was so fun. We were able to ride different ways on each course...regular, superman, and upside-down. The whole thing only cost $20 per person too! We ended the day in Banos with a big feast at a delicious restaurant (Swiss food, oddly enough) before making the long drive back to Guayaquil the next morning.
