She's Free

 Big day today for Azure, she got to take her brace off. She should be all healed up. It has been a little sore as she is working to move it more, but so far it hasn't been too bad. She was very worried her tan lines would be really bad, but I actually think they aren't too crazy.


This morning we decided to go into the town of Marbella to a street I had read about that has a bunch of statues done by Salvador Dali. I don't know that much about him, but it seemed like it would be a cool thing to see. The statues were definitely interesting.













After viewing the statues we walked along a road next to the beach. Every time we are near another beach around here I am very thankful for our beach outside our Air BnB. These other beaches are all packed with people. Ours does get somewhat busy, but not crazy busy which is nice. We walked around and looked for rash guards...no luck. Then we decided to come back to our place. Every day that we have been out swimming near our place the most sexy smell of garlic has haunted us. I have been dying to try out the restaurant on the beach near our place where this smell originates from, so today we did. The food was really tasty. The garlic bread was amazing!





We returned to our apartment and got our swim suits on and then headed out to the beach. It has been really fun to swim every day. The kids would be happy if we only swam and did nothing else. Cormac makes a new sand castle every day that we go to the beach with some on and off help from the girls. They will go out and dive down for big rocks and try to make the front walls strong enough to withstand the tide when it comes in. Today the girls also went out to deeper water and dove for shells. The water is really clear here and with as calm as it typically is you can usually see pretty well through the water to the bottom of the ocean floor. At least you can in the more shallow waters that we swim in.





Cormac dug a deep hole today and buried his legs up to the knees. He was rather proud of it and the girls thought it was awesome when they realized what he had done. As it was getting time for us to head inside the kids decided to spend our last hour we had available to play at the pool. We passed the water polo ball and played freeze tag for a bit then came inside so I could make dinner and we could all get showered before I had to see clients. Beach days are great days.

Happy 15th, Cormac

 My kids are fairly disgusted with me and the fact that I've missed a few weeks of blogging. It has been a very busy few weeks for us with lots going on. So I'll do my best to chronicle the comings and goings of these kids. On October 4th Cormac ran in the State Cross Country meet. He did really well. He placed 26th overall and his team took 3rd place. We are really proud of Cormac and all his hard work. The very next day Cormac had a double header for water polo. Azure also had a game. In the first game Cormac got put in goal for a while. He doesn't love playing goal, but as long as he is in the pool I don't think he minds too much what position he is playing. They lost their first game, but won the second. Azure's team lost, but they played well. Because we are water polo obsessed and 3 games in one day was not enough, and mostly because Cormac begged for a ride, we went and watched the High School boys state game. It was an awesome game. I snagged this picture of...

Murdered by Pirates is Good

 I sincerely hope that this morning was our last early morning. It will all depend on what time our flights back home leave, but as far as touristing goes, we should have had our last early morning. We rose early in order to head to the dock. We had booked ourselves a boat tour that would take us along the coast so we could see the various caves that are plentiful in the Algarve. This is such a beautiful place. We donned our life jackets then went with the group to get on the boat. It was an interesting boat. Most of the seats you straddled like you would if sitting in a saddle. Since we were a group of 5 we had one of the only 2 rows. It was a tight squeeze and unfortunately we were in the back of all the others so the view was always full of people and their phones. Lucette was particularly sad that she didn't get to "ride a horse." We headed out of the port to the ocean. The towns along the ocean are all very picturesque. We even got to see a private castle. Our guide ...

This Random Island

Cormac says that I always threaten with, “That’s going on the blog.” Which is true. When the kids are being obnoxious during pictures I will tell them I’m putting it on the blog.  Today we should have been in Boston, but due to Flight Fiasco 2024 TM we ended up on Madeira. Prior to this week we had never heard of Madeira. The other consequence of the aforementioned Fiasco TM was that we had a 6:00 am flight which meant we needed to get up at 3:00 am to make the flight in time. For the past 2 months Ammon and I frequently go to bed around 2:30 am. Trying to get myself to sleep early proved to be impossible. Especially when I felt a fair bit of worry about sleeping in and missing the flight. I ended up pulling an all-nighter, but we definitely did not miss our flight.  The kids popped out of bed pretty easily all things considered. We got packed up quickly and headed down our 5 flights of stairs trying very hard to be quiet. Our Uber was already waiting for us. The flight was ...
