Lots has been going on in the past three days. Things have just now slowed down! Our bosses took the soccer team to Greece this afternoon after their last soccer session this morning. We are all worn out after our busiest week yet. The poor soccer team is just now recovering from jet lag from coming over and now they are fixing to head back. I don't know if I mentioned it in an earlier blog but the team we had was from Bellevue. It was a high school trip, there were 19 people on the team. They were really great! They handled every change of plans graciously and were as "fluid" as they could possibly be. Us summer girls are baby-sitting this weekend for our bosses' two oldest children who are 7 and 6. As of right now we just finished our third movie. We have all taken turns using our super power abilities to watch movies through our eye lids (as we have ensured the girls we have) so we can spread naps out. I didn't catch any of Princess Diaries 2 and Katie has been, and still is, using her powers to watch Madagascar! Our bosses' interns (who have been here almost 2 years) just invited us to eat hamburgers with them tonight for a 4th of July supper. So we are excited about that! We are fixing to make peach cobbler and cut a watermelon. We have watermelons here, they are just smaller than they are at home. We bought a pretty good sized watermelon two days ago for less than $3! Tomorrow we are going to the American Embassy's 4th of July (on the 5th) picnic. It sounds like it should be fun! We are getting real American hamburgers and hot dogs and there are rumors of Dr. Pepper and Root Beer. We are even more excited that we get to wear our American clothes, we don't have to cover knees and shoulders tomorrow. Don't worry though, I don't think any of us have short shorts and tube tops! Haha!
Later on tonight I should be able to get back on and load some pictures from this past week!
Oh yeah, thank you Bro. Teddy for letting my Daddy read my blog this week. Could you please tell Bro. Terry the web site for it. I tried several times to e-mail Mrs. Cookie and him, but it always came back. Thanks!
