The Mayer Family

On Sunday, we went with Wendy’s friends Marjorie and Alejandra (and families) outside of the city for a change. It was great to enjoy the countryside and the kids loved running free and enjoyed playing kid-style baseball. Ellie was our wanderer and liked to try to disappear into the trees to explore what new bugs she could find or dirt she could play in. Although we saw people in the park cooking Paella (a Spanish rice dish) over an open fire, we went a little less complicated route and had things prepared ahead of time like Spanish tortilla (made of eggs and potatoes etc) with a Mexican flair made by Alejandra from Mexico, French-style quiche and biscotti (Marjorie is from France), and American-style potato salad and tapioca salad made by guess who? The husbands enjoyed getting to know each other, since it’s usually the ladies who get together the most.
