Down on Grandpa's Farm. . . Pichanal

Cristian's Grandpa and Grandma Dimitricoff live on a 20 acre farm in Salta, Argentina! It is super pretty and everything is always really green! They have pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, roosters, ducks, parrots, dogs, and cats! With that said, I'm sure you can imagine how much Nikolas loved visiting his Great grandparents!
Los Abuelos Dimitricoff viven en una finca de 7 hectareas! Pichanal es re lindo y todo esta siempre muy verde! Tienen chanchos, ovejas, chivos, gallinas, gallos, patos, loros, perros y gatos!! Al decir eso, seguro que pueden imaginar cuanto le encanto a Nikolas visitarlos a los bis abuelos!!

Welcome to Pichanal! Here is Mari, Niko, and Maida walking down the dirt road towards Grandpa and Grandma's farm! Bienvenidos a Pichanal! Aca esta Mari, Niko, y Maida caminando hacia la finca de los Abuelos!

Los Abuelos! They are so cute!! We had so much fun with them!! They treated us like kings and queens! Los Abuelos! Son tan buenos! La pasamos SUPER bien con ellos! Gracias Abuelos!! Los queremos!
Two of Cristian's uncles and their families live in Pichanal too! It was Aunt Celia's (from the Quiaca) birthday the day after we got there so they came down to Pichanal (about an 8 hour drive) and we had a big party!! Above are the girls! Below the boys! Dos de los tios de Cristian viven en Pichanal tambien, asi que nos juntamos con ellos y sus familias y vino la tia Celia y su familia tambien por su cumpleanos y hicimos un asado GIGANTE! Rico Chancho!!
Below are misc pics on the Farm! Abajo hay algunas fotos mas en la Finca!




More fun on the Farm...

Grandma Yola was making bread and she let us help! La Abuela estaba haciendo pan y nos dejo ayudar!!

Cristian putting the bread in the brick oven! Cristian poniendo el pan en el horno!

La abuela let Niko help feed Martin, the goat! La abuela dejo que Nikolas le diera de comer a Martin, el chivito!

I think Nikolas' favorite (or maybe it's my favorite part) was feeding the animals with el abuelo and just following the animals around! Instead of throwing the corn out, he would drop it at his feet and therefore, the animals we almost trample him. Luckily, el abuelo was there to teach him and help him out! Creo que una de las partes preferidas de Nikolas (o quizas es la mia) fue dandole de comer a los animales y siguiendolos por todos lados! En vez de tirar el maiz, Niko lo dejo en sus pies no mas, asi que lo animales casi lo querian comer a el. Menos mal que el abuelo estaba para ensenarle y ayudarle!

I think of all the 700+ pictures we have of our trip to Argentina, this is my favorite!! There is just something so sweet and special about Nikolas and his Great Grandpa Lalo and it seems to be depicted in this picture! Creo que de todas las 700+ fotos que tenemos del viaje a Argentina, esta es mi favorita! No se que es, pero hay algo dulce y especial entre Nikolas y su Bis Abuelo Lalo y se lo ve en esta foto!!
