The most wonderful part of the trip was my Saturday night conversation with my dad about our family history. It was amazing to learn so much about my heritage. My father's been finding lots of names and people and it's just awesome. He gave me a huge binder with a lot of information about our family history. I have about 100 names ready to go to the temple. I am so happy. I even have pictures my dad found that are amazing. Here's a picture of my grandfather's great grandfather, Manoel Camilo. Old old old picture. I've done a little bit of photoshop work on it to clean it up.
I've added here just a few pictures of my time down there. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteWhy oh why did I have to read that you were eating an Avocado popsicle?!!! That is just NASTY!!! I will pretend it is a normal LIME popsicle. :) (good! now I will not throw up!)
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you are getting into your family history. I REALLY need to do better at that. :(
(you should have done a photosho smile on their faces. ha ha)
Very cool you got to go!!! (I admit, I miss seeing Candace by your side in each picture.)
Looks like you had fun! Thanks for the treats. Avery LOVES them.
ReplyDeleteAndre UR, the avocado popsicle is amazing. Remember, it's a fruit!! It's sweet. Mexicans just decided to add salt instead. Brazilians added sugar and made it amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I missed having Candace with me too. Very sad.
Andrea Miller, I'm glad Avery loves the treats! I know her dad loves it.
