| Torah desperately needs her sisters to get here so that she doesn't have to play Uno with her doll. #theyplayedawholegame #Torahwon #24morehours!! |
 |
| Fun carriage ride thru Sevilla. Torah carefully analyzed all of the horses before settling on this one; she wanted a horse that she could name "Hot Cocoa." #travelswitha4yearold |
 |
| One of the things that I love most about Seville is the heavy influence of Islamic design in its architecture. The Alcazar (royal palace - still in use) was a perfect example. |
 |
| Managing to get a rare family photo (minus Elder Russell). It was HOT this day, so we'll have to return for more pics. This place is amazing! |
 |
| Micah was out running some errands for mean day when he texted: Come to the Dia. There is a cool like"rotary auction" type market in the streets. He was right - it's HUGE! And held every Thursday morning. |
 |
| I almost didn't post this because a little Instagram picture just CAN'T do this place justice! The Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona is one of the most AWE-some buildings I've ever seen. Seriously, go Google it and see what I mean. I'm already making plans to return to Barcelona in 20 years, when it is scheduled to (hopefully, finally) be completed. |
 |
| Eyescream for ice cream! Found this great ice cream place on the beach in Barcelona. You pick your flavor & two toppings, then they shave the ice cream into your bowl, kind of like shaved ice. It is so good! Check it out at eyescreamandfriends.com. |
 |
| Very cool Magic Fountain show at Montjuïc! It was set to Disney music, so the girls especially loved it. #anotherlatenightinSpain |
 |
| Visited this great market near La Rambla this afternoon. Exotic fruits, huge selection of Spanish snacks/seafoods/treats, and some "what in the heck is that?!?" finds. #isthatagoathead? |
 |
| Fantastic road trip to Ronda with @emma.m.russell & @lmtutty !! #whitevillages #cliffcity #hikedallthewaydownandbackup #tiredandsweaty |
 |
| My favorite white village - Grazalelma! It was absolutely enchanting! |
 |
| I'm in love with the white villages - so remote, clean & peaceful! |
 |
| Dinner on the terrace. #ChorizoEggsPotatoes #ourfavoriteGoTomeal |
 |
| The tomb of Christopher Columbus, carried by 4 enormous pallbearer statues, housed in the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. #justyouraveragefieldtrip |
 |
| Happy birthday @lmtutty! So fun to be able to celebrate your special day with you!! |
 |
| Playing Cinderella. #singingwhiletheywork #weloveourterrace #cleanestspotinSeville |
 |
| The girls were just excited to play at a park tonight. They couldn't care less about the 12th century Roman wall behind them. #homeschoolfail |
 |
| In honor of Jared's 19th birthday, we had the missionaries over for dinner (Elders Blasi & Cowley). Hamburgers & chocolate chip cookies! :) Happy Birthday, Jared!! |
 |
| Just hanging out in her "cave" under the stairs. |
 |
| Built in the 16th century, this beautiful Renaissance building houses all of the Spanish documents related to the exploration of the "Indies" - letters from Columbus, Cortès, George Washington - plus old maps, drawings, etc of the New World. |
 |
| I'm sure there is some unspoken taboo against taking pictures of your neighbor's laundry, but this was just too cute! |
