And on our way out of the park we came upon these little guys. There were quite a few, and I don't know what they are?




Jesse and Marissa Jensen came with us on this wonderful trip. We were so grateful that they were able to come!


The biggest waterfall I believe was called Devils Throat. It was at the end, and we had to wear ponchos to keep dry.
We walked along a trail on the side of the mountain. At the end of the trail we were able to walk out onto this platform and really get a up close look. I have never been to such beautiful place.





Iguasu! The first day of our adventures we crossed the border into Brazil (after having our windows washed about 4 different times) and went to the GORGEOUS waterfalls of Iguasu!

Now for the fun part

The first morning there, just right outside our hotel were busy shopping streets lined with tons of just stuff. I loved that it was so busy. It was just a different experience. People from every which way approaching you to buy, buy, buy and I couldn't. I did not no spanish. So the one phrase that Dallas told me to use was, "No, gracias." haha
We arrived In Ciudad Del Este a day behind schedule, but still in good spirits. This was our plane, and we landed in the middle of nowhere.

The biggest fish we had ever laid eyes on!
Because we did not have access to our luggage that airport customer service gave us the "essentials" kit. I hear that and I think of Brian Reagan.

The first white tiger I have ever seen. And in an aquarium none the less. It was pretty neat, and the only thing separating us from him was a pane of glass.

We flew from SLC to Denver and because of bad weather we didn't leave in time. That didn't quite work with our 50 minute layover in Texas, so when we got to Texas we had missed our connecting flight to Brazil by about 20 minutes. We were so frustrated. Especially since we had checked our bags all the way to Brazil there was no way to get them. The next flight to Brazil was 9pm the next night. So we made the best of it, and spent the next day at an aquarium in Houston,TX.

Out trip to Paraguay

Yay! We made it to August! We had been looking forward to our trip to Paraguay for months, and the day to leave finally came! SLC airport

Hot Kitty...

I am going to admit right now that I am a cat lover. That is not news to anyone who knows me. This soft spot was created by Mamma Kitty, Peaches, Princess, Pugzy, and Snickers (just to mention a few). Well, I went home to Whitney last night to go to a party, and to have my dad check my car. While I was waiting for him to come home I was hanging out with my mom. While we were talking she switched a load of laundry to the dryer. Because my parents live in the country it is not uncommon for animals to find ways into the house. In this case, a cat. After the dryer was on for about a minute we heard a meow. And we knew exactly where it was coming from. We poked and prodeed waiting for this cat to let us know where it was. No luck. So we turned the dryer on again, and heard the meow again. After this cycle went one more time we just knew that the poor cat was stuck in the vent of the dryer. We moved the dryer out, and I crawled back to maybe try and scare it out. I took the hose off the back of the dryer and there, lint covered and all, were two little ears sticking out the top. It was a scared to death, HOT, little gray kitten. If the poor thing would have gone any further he would have been rolling around with the clothes in the dryer. I felt so bad! It was not a stray cat because it let me hold it. I actually wanted to bring it home, but Dallas said no. Anyway, we found who it belonged to, and all is well. I hesitated to tell Dallas because I knew his reply would be, "Now do you see how stupid and pointless cats are?" Hahaha, I still want one someday.
