For the last few weeks we have been without power for about 3-4 hours each day. The power outagaes are the result of the worst drought in Ecuador in about 40 years. The outages haven't been too bad and for the most part we know when they are coming and plan accordingly. When the power is out at night, it is obviously the most inconvenient, but we never thougth it would also be the most exciting. Friday night, Sebastiao and Bella were watching a movie on my laptop during the blackout (they are very grateful for battery power.) All of a sudden, Sebastiao came running down the hallway screaming about a tarantula. Joe and I both thought he must be mistaken and Joe went down the hallway with a flashlight to convience him that it wasn't a large hairy spider....
For many of you who know our son well, you already know that once again, he was correct! There was a very large (for us at least), very hairy and very angry tarantula on his bed. It has crawled up Sebastiao's leg and was claiming the bed for his own. The entire family then spent the next 10 minutes with 2 flashlights, a large box and a piece of cardboard trying to convience the taratula that he was more scared of us than we were of him!
haha! Love it!
