Happy Halloween!

The Bee Keeper and his Bee's

A Witch with a Bee

Momma Karen dressed as a Clown

Kitty Cat Layne is so cute....

...But SO attached to Karen its hard to hold her when she's around!

Trick-or-Treat

Landen refuses to take pictures so I just tickled him until he smiled..well kinda smiled

We had 4 adults walking down the streets in full costume with only 1 year old Layne...people were staring!

You're never too old to trick-or-treat

We caught an extra bee

We had a great time, thanks Nicole and Royal for having us over! Thanks Mom for sewing my tutu and helping me get everything togerther last minute!! 

And of coarse thanks to Abbey and Landen for sharing some of their treats :)

BRAZIL PART 5: RIO DE JANIERO

Impanema Beach

The bug bites I got the last day in the Amazon...I have NO CLUE what bit me but it definitely got me good! I was really sick the whole time in Rio with body aches, high fever, soar throat and just didn't feel good. This was the day after, they got much much worse and took about 2 weeks to go away!

BRAZIL PART 4: AMAZON

THE HEAT HELPED MAKE IT EASIER TO BE SWIMMING IN THERE! I JUST KEPT REMINDING EVERYONE NOT TO PEE BECAUSE OF THE BUGS THAT ARE ATTRACTED TO URINE AND SWIM UP THE STREAM!!

SNUCK IN SOME ONES HAMMOCK TO TRY IT OUT...SO GLAD WE HAD BEDS!

BRAZIL PART 3: MANAUS & THE AMAZON

IT WAS SO HOT IN THE AMAZON! 

RYAN MADE ME CARRY ALL THE LUGGAGE

SUCH GOOD CHURROS, THEY PUT CHOCOLATE OR CARMEL DOWN THE CENTER

ON THE AMAZON RIVER CLOSE TO THE MEETING OF THE WATERS. FLYING IN WAS SO COOL BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE TWO RIVERS MEET UP BUT DON'T MIX FOR MILES

I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT MY CLOTHES

OUR HOTEL IN THE AMAZON

SITTING WITH MY FEET IN THE WATER...A LITTLE NERVOUS

RYAN KILLING THE BUGS IN MY NET, HE HATES BUGS!

NOT SO SURE ABOUT STRANGERS SLEEPING THIS CLOSE TO ME!

YES, WE SWAM IN THE AMAZON RIVER. NO WE DIDN'T GET ATTACKED BY PIRANAHAS. BUT THEY WERE DEFINITELY THERE, AND IT WAS DEFINITELY A LITTLE CREEPY

A PIRAHANA SOMEONE CAUGHT THAT NIGHT...I TOLD YOU THEY WERE THERE!

MORE PHASE 10..NOT MUCH TO DO DURING A THUNDERSTORM EXCEPT TRY TO HIDE FROM THE BUGS

SO PROUD OF HIS MOSQUITO NET

SLEEPING IN HERE WAS INTERESTING, AT FIRST I WAS SCARED OF BUGS SO WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT I TURNED MY FLASHLIGHT ON TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE NO BUGS IN WITH ME! BUT THEN WHEN I FELT LIKE I WAS SAFE INSIDE MY NET I STARTED WONDERING ABOUT WHAT OTHER KIND OF ANIMALS COULD COME INTO MY BED. THATS WHEN I WAS GRATEFUL THAT I WAS FAR FROM THE DOOR SO IF A SNAKE SNUCK IN THEY HAD A LOT OF OTHERS TO CHOSE FROM FIRST!

AARON AND I GETTING READY TO EAT A GRUB...AKUNA MATATA!

OH NO, WE'RE LOST!

AND HERE IS THE VIDEO OF ME EATING THE GRUB. RYAN DIDN'T THINK THAT I WOULD DO, BUT IT ACTUALLY WASN'T TOO BAD. IT TASTED LIKE COCONUT WATER! IT WAS A GLOW BUG SO THAT NIGHT I WAS PRETTY SURE THEY KNEW I HAD EATEN THIER BABYS AND WERE GOING TO ATTACK ME...LUCKILY WE HAD BUG SPRAY!

NOT SURE HOW TO ROTATE THE VIDEO, SORRY!

EATING ACARAJE OFF THE STREET CARTS IN BRAZIL, IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY BUT RYAN INSISTED THAT I TRY IT
