Cascata do Buricá. . .

Cascata do Buricá. This is the Rio Buricá, about 25 minutes outside Horizontina. The waterfall is the cascata. We took a short day trip to see the waterfalls. We're all excited to go back when the weather is really warm. The day was beautiful, but maybe in a few months, we can go fishing and wading in the water!

Emma had a blast throwing rocks in the water. It's one of her favorite games to play! While Kevin and I walked around taking pictures and looking for pretty rocks to collect, Emma stood by the edge of the water and threw rocks in. She loves watching the rocks splash!

The ground just split open in the middle of the river, creating the waterfalls and beauty around the river. It's pretty amazing to stand on the bridge and look both up and down the river. The water was rushing down the rocks and the sound was incredible. I love waterfalls!


HI from Horizontina, Brasil!!! We miss you all! (but we're loving it here!)

Fun, fun, fun!! Hi from Hedrick, Iowa! :) Looks beautiful, God is so amazing! What a gift he has given us!
On another note- Dan took the girls fishing on the free weekend and there was a class where an older guy told every one that they shouldn't throw rocks in the lake because his dad always told him that if everyone did that there would be no more lakes! Isn't that hilarious?! We love to throw rocks too, Emma! (Lauren said she threw one into the lake after he said that- do we have a rebel on our hands?!)
Love to see your happy faces!

Those are amazing, beautiful pictures. Thanks for always updating so frequently. I'm glad that God is revealing his handi-work to the three of you in so many ways.
Along with Jen, it's great to see your happy faces.
