Wednesday "What´s up with the Crew?"

Andrew´s 9th Birthday in Portugal!!



After our time with the Stark family missionaries in Granada,(read to the end to see pictures of our time with the Starks too!) we then drove 12 hours north to visit the Andrzejewski family, missionaries in Portugal.

This leg of our Contreras Crew vacation, the CREW has climbed trees, roller bladed, jumped of balconies (Andrew), Run around stuffing hamsters down each other´s shirts, played basket ball, kickball, and even dug for burried treasure on the beach! Then this evening, Nina was so kind to let me throw a little party for our Andrew, who is turning 9 tomorrow.








I am still in awe at how well our 8 children all got along!





Happy 9th Birthday, Andrew Jay!






Special times with special friends!



The CREW loved Granada and the time with the Stark Family earlier this past week. Granada is a place that none of the Crew had ever seen before!



The Stark girls are like the sisters to them. They even played kitchen together on the patio!


Talk about well rounded!!


The CREW´s favorite part with their friends was the walk around the grounds of the Alhambra and ...








And climbing up this round brick, cement block. ok so it´s not a main attraction in Granada, but it had some strange attraction for the CREW!



Thanks for joining us for yet another exciting week of "What´s up with the Crew?" Next week we will post over on their blog again.
