Hola amics!
Lots of new things happening...check out these photos for a quick sighting of summer 2009 and the life of Eli. Includes several trips to Elk Grove to visit my Nanou and Badgi, a few outtings to the beach, a party in the garden, a trip to Hawaii, a vacation in Costa Rica and a few visits from friends and family.

I LOVE COSTA RICA!!!!

Surf boot camp at home before heading out to the waves.

Playing in the sand...

My first dog friend, Lika.

Little walk on the beach. Tamarindo in the background.

From plantains and gallo pinto to flatbread pizzas...all so delicious!

My first tropical rain...wow!

Last sunset at Playa Grande.

Here I am with my big cousin Tristan (Tito). I've got a lot of work to do before I can keep up with him.

Here I am chilling with Kian, my other cousin. He's 6 months older and also runs circles around me :)

Ahhhh...Jim Bo-Bob!

Hawaii: Up, up and...how do you blow this thing up again?

My frist smoothie made me very happy :)

Beach time in Hawaii

My first kite...can you see it?

The meaning of "BOOM"...

This was when I really learned what 'BOOM' means. Watching my papa and Badgi (grandfather) chop down several enourmous trees.
I'm glad that Nanou kept me safely by her side.

Muir beach tide pools with Lulu.

Pinata time with my cousin Tessa.

Steam train...toot toot!!!
