Day 13 - Back to school

We finally got back to school this morning. After nearly 2 weeks off, it was good to get back at it. The kids seemed excited to open up those workbooks again -- well, at least to get it done and back into the pool. Joshua was rushing like crazy at the end there when he knew Daddy was ALREADY in the pool and he still had to finish his silent reading - the timer took forever to go off!! Joshua & David were in the pool for HOURS today. They bought some really good goggles and have been exploring the rocks, watching each other dive in, and playing hide & go seek with pool darts. One person hides the darts and the other people put the goggles on & go exploring to find them all. It was very hot again today - so the pool was wonderful. Today I took a few shots of the house inside, I didn't get the master bedroom or spare room so hopefully I'll snap those to show you in the next day or two.
Living room. You come through the front door into this room.
Entrance area.
Kitchen
Dining area.
Kids do school here, but our meals are eaten (for the most part) outside.
Took a quick shot of the kids tonight writing in their journals.
Megan checking the blog for a few details.
David, completely worn out from all those hours in the pool today.
Supper time outside by the pool.
Another cool feature is that there is seven or eight different colors for the pool lights. You can even go disco and it flashes all the different colors. Tonight Sarah chose purple/pink. :)
Off to enjoy the hot tub tonight.

  1. Hey Jen.......I may have missed something along the way, BUT WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS PLACE TO LIVE FOR A FEW MONTHS? AND WAS IT FULLY FURNISHED?

  2. We found this house online through www.vrbo.com - yes, it's fully furnished (well missing a kettle!) and all ready for us to enjoy;
    complete with pool toys! The boat & quads in the garage are not part of the deal, but we might steal them! :))))
