Wednesday: lady's day

Today the women went off on our own.  The guys stayed at the house with the kids and did extra screen time, made paper airplanes, played, and went in the pool.



We started with a delicious brunch...that we all shared.  The food was delicious to start with, but then to get some sweet and some savory was wonderful.

We had some time to kill so we went to see a sculpture of some praying hands that had been recommended to Katy.  I'll admit, I wasn't expecting much so they ended up being pretty amazing.  The were significantly larger and more life like than I had been picturing.  They also sort of looked like they were plotting instead of praying, but that's just how it goes.  Wikipedia says they're the largest bronze scuplture in the world, so they were worth the stop.

Next we went ziplining!  (Katy is the only one that brought her phone and I don't have those pictures yet.)  It was perfect.  It seemed pretty standard as ziplines go, but it was fun!  We also didn't have to break ourselves which was lovely.

We next decided to continue to brave the heat and go to the nearby botanical gardens.  They were very pretty...and quite warm.  We did it justice though, walking through most of it.


Our photographer in action!

After dinner we just chilled.  Some kids worked on a Lego set.  Some of us played some games (including Azul with the correct rules!).
