We had a fabulous Saltzman family get together in Natal (which means Christmas in Portuguese) in August. There is too much to cram into one post, so please enjoy my favourites:
Eating more meat than humanely possibly:
Gigantic slip and slides:


Silly faces:

Walking along the beach to get lunch:

Eating amazing food in tiny shacks:

ABC football game that only the night owls attended:

Renting a native for the week:

And becoming best friends despite the language barrier:

The largest cashew tree in the world (we can confirm that cashew juice is disgusting)
Feeding cashew tree monkeys (get this they eat cashews!)

Did you know that a single cashew grows under a piece of fruit, as demonstrated by this wonderful plastic replica:
Enjoying our own private beach (that we sometimes shared with others, we are nice like that)


Kissing a shark (this isn't really how he kisses...)

Building sandcastles with the family contractor:

Cavern (you had to grab onto the wall for dear life when a wave came in)


Dolphin watching and just being plain cute:



Team volleyball practice:
Becoming "friends" with officials (aka bribing)
Our house:
Snorkeling in a rain storm:
Enjoying great times together:





Being with family is always great, no matter where you are....so Australia next time?
