Gelato Night

While Karis and I were out for one of our walks we came across a gelato shop. The shop is right down the street from our apartment. We were very excited about this find because our family really like gelato. For those of you who do not know what gelato is, it is Italian ice cream. I really like the fruit flavors, but as with ice cream - Page and Karis both like chocolate the best.

Some of you know that our family is having to take Malaria medicine to 

prevent us from getting the dreaded sickness. We have had some problems getting Karis to take the medicine recently because she has figured out our tricks. We had to invent a new one pretty quickly. The trick this week was to sneak the medicine in the gelato without her seeing. A problem that comes along with the "sneaking" is to try to keep yourself looking as casual as normal so that people in the gelato shop and on the street do not think you are drugging your child. 

Here are some pics of us at the gelato shop. We are really enjoying the weather and eating outside at many of the places we have gone. Karis is enjoying being out of the child seat that she is normally strapped to. Her walking around and sitting on her knees makes for a very stressful meal for mom, but she thinks the freedom is great!!

Karis is loving that she gets some of both Mom and Dad's gelato!!! We know she is ready for more when she comes up to us or leans over and opens her mouth.

Can you see the chocolate mustache??

Thia was not too thrilled that we were not sharing with her. She did have a good time just hanging out with us!!
