Tia Karina, Tia Gladys, mi papa, mi mama, Tia Erika

El 6 de diciembre de 2008 (antes de que yo naciera) mis papas y unos amigos y familiares celebraron un baby shower. Mis abuelos Ted y Helga habian llegado de Lima el dia anterior! Como las fotos estan fuera de orden, voy a comentar acerca de cada foto según lo que me conto mi papa. En las fotos arriba puedes ver mi papa tocando el siku y la quena cuando ya era de noche. Tiene puesto el cargador de bebe que mis abuelos Ted y Helga nos regalaron.

On December 6, 2008 (before I was born) my parents and some friends and family had a baby shower. Grandpa Ted and Grandma Helga arrived from Lima the day before! Since the photos are out of order, I will comment on each one according to what my dad told me. In the photo above you can see my dad playing the siku and the quena after night had fallen. He's wearing the baby carrier my Grandpa Ted and Grandma Helga gave us.

Abajo puedes ver mi primo Oscar tocando el siku. El y mi papa tocaron el huayno Ojos Azules. El huayno es un ritmo tradicional de la cordillera de los Andes, donde vivimos. Como mi primo Oscar es timido, el toco escondiendose atras de mi mama.

Below you can see my cousin Oscar playing the siku. He and my dad played the huayno Ojos Azules. The huayno is a traditional rhythm played in the Andes Mountains, where we live. Since Oscar is timid, he played while hidden behind my mom.

Hora de los sombreros locos! Al anochecer mi papa saco su coleccion de sombreros locos y cada persona presente se puso uno. Abajo puedes ver mi Abuelo Ted y mi Abuela Helga.

Funny hat time! As night fell my dad took out his collection of funny hats and everyone wore one. Below you can see Grandpa Ted and Grandma Helga.
