Life is never Boring!!

So I am not very good at this bloging thing but I'm trying!

Each day in itself is an adventure!!
The other day I got on the train all my myself and made it to Terremolinos...two stations away! And made it home too!! So proud of myself :) I went there to meet up with a new friend. We walked through some of the small streets the line with small shops and cafes. So many things to see and taste. It was not to far and then I see the Medeterraniean Sea...beautiful!!! I decided that it was as good a time as any...I took off my sandles and put my feet in the water! O Cold...I suppose it should be considering it was the last day of January! But it was fun :)

Saturday we all went to the Fuengriola zoo. It's a pretty small zoo but they have done a good job with the space they have. They have no big animals like girrafes or elephants. But they have a couple of tigers, garillas, hippos and aligators...to name some of the big animals. At one point we were given a little tour and went in the same area as the lemurs. That was an experience...watching them jump from tree to tree and hoping that they would not miss their target...cause we were right under the trees. All the animals seemed to do what they do best...but the one garilla seemed to be in a bad mood...he was just sitting on the other side of the glass as the triplets had a little snack. But he was totally giving me the evil eye!!! In my head I was like "OK it's time to leave NOW!" lol...and we have season passes to this place!! ooo it will be ok...just caught him on a bad day ;)

Funny story. So the kids and I were playing on the balcony. Jonathan and Sierra were the barbers, and I can't remember what Michael was. And I was the farmer. But anyway Jonathan was cutting the teddy bears fur with a clothes pin. Then I turned around and he was poking at the bears nose with the clothes pin. I asked him what he was doing. So according to him another part of being a barber is to pick noses too. So you can get your haircut and nose cleaned out all in one appointment! Bonus!!! lol

So on Sunday afternoon I thought it would be lovely to go for a little walk. Well!!! it turned into more like a 5 hour walk...not on purpose! I found my way down to the beach from were I live which was great. But then I got curious and started walking down the boardwalk looking at all the shops and restaurants as I walked along. Then I seen a cute street and then another cute street and then another street...you can see the pattern! Then I came across a main road of some sort and kept walking in the direction I thought was the way home...well it was the right way...I just didnt realize how far I had actually walked the one way. On Sundays most stores and shops are closed but for the odd few, there are more open when you are right on the beach (for the tourists). But anyway I was on this road with no stores open and there were random people few and far between...and I just kept walking. I got to a point that I thought...just around the corner I would see something I knew. So I went down one street and up the other. Then there was a guy that I felt knew where he was going...so I stayed back but followed him up the hill for a while. Then he was gone. I stopped beside a beautiful park and just stood there for a bit to catch my breath and think for a minute. By that time I needed water and finally convinced myself that I was lost and I needed to talk to someone just to point me in the right direction. I didn't need to find anyone. One guy just stopped and said hi to me and then that gave me a chance to ask! Praise the Lord. I was actually not far from where I needed to be. I got some water and I was on my way. So I left my house about 1pm and got home about 5pm. Slept good that night!!! This wont stop me from going out again...But if I am lost...I will call someone to come and get me...I had a phone with me, I just kept on convincing myself that just around the corner I would see something I knew. My goodness...put me out on a country road somewhere and I will not get lost...put me in the city and this is what happens! I'm sure once I am here longer I will be just fine!

The kids got new tricycles for Christmas. So they have been learning how to ride them and they are doing sooo good...and they absolutly love them! All in their favorite colors. Sierra with her pink. Michael with green and Jonathan with orange.

One Monday I will be starting to homeschool the triplets and their friend Peter who is about the same age. It will only be a couple of hours three times a week because the triplets go to a Spanish nursery school three mornings a week. I am looking forward to it and I am sure with that there will be lots of stories.
