Almost solo

Steve left Monday 😢
We all miss him loads. The consolation? Wendy showed up the very same day. Yay Wendy!

We've had some fun days and one or two not so fun days since I last posted. I'll start with the not so fun days. Last Monday the school called us to pick up z cause they said he was sick. He did have a really bad heat rash that started 4 days before and got worse every day thereafter. They said he had a fever too. He didn't but he was red in the face and cranky! We took him to the farmacia which also has a Dr. He have us an rx. It cleared up right away!! I also had to pick him up early from school on Tuesday because he was being very disruptive. I think he's a bit overwhelmed with all this and daddy leaving put him over the edge. I feel confident he'll ease into this new situation. Hopefully not the last week we're here😉

Highlights of the fun stuff. Bullet points might be a recurring theme in this blog.

• horse and buggy tour of the city!!! Twice! Once with Steve and the boys and once with Wendy and the boys. It's a great way to get your bearings.
• Chocolate museum
• Visit to the hotel spa Granada swim club. They have aggressive ducks there. Beware!
• A tour of Masaya including an active volcano sight, a handicraft market, and an amazing vista point of  Laguna apoyo.
• Pinata party-we had some neighborhood kids over for a piñata bashing. Very fun. I did learn that soccer ball chocolates is a bad choice for piñata filling when you have a tile floor and a pool.
• Ometepe!!
• Playa el coco!

I'll expand more on our trips to ometepe and playas el coco in another post.

We just booked another trip to Ometepe with Wendy for this Saturday. I'm excited to go back.

I'm having some technical difficulties posting photos. I wish I could show some pix of our adventures. If you're interested, check out Steve's or my fb page.

Some other random thoughts...
I saw goats on my street today. I'd gotten used to the stray dogs, cats, horses, and the cows (not in the street but on the beach, in the lakes and rivers). The goats were a surprise.
I got a bike. I haven't used it too much since Wendy's here sans bike. I'm excited to have some zippy transport.

I'm gonna start Spanish school on Monday. They have a kids club for the kiddos free of charge. I'll keep you all posted on our progress there.

I hope this post isn't too disjointed. I've been meaning to write for over a week now but it's hard to find the time. I wanted to give you all an update.

More to come soon.....
