Back to civilization (Internet)

We left Madison this morning and went to Jackie and Doug for a yummy dinner! Me and the children are staying the night, as well as Kathy. Alex and Buddy left for Ormond after dinner. That way Alex can get some work done tomorrow and we get to spend some more time with Jackie and Doug :-D Both children are sleeping like babies now and I am taking the chance to update the blog with some pictures! More details about our last few days will come along with the pictures.

Dinner with Alex, Jorge, Jessica and Lucas

(Lucia was sleeping when we arrived)

Thursday night we went over to Alex's and Jorge's to have dinner. We ordered yummy pizzas from a local pizza place. Jessica (studied in France with us) was there, too. Marlee and Lucas played good. Little Lucia was sleeping when we got there but I am hoping to see her next time!

The Pee hole and going to Ormond

Friday started out as a nice day but by the time me and the small guys were ready to leave the house to go the pee hole the clouds had gathered and we even got some rain drops on our head while being there. In the afternoon we all went to where Albert works, a garden where they have all kinds of trees. Some trees that hardly exists anywhere else in the world!! Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my phone nor my camera so I do not have any pictures...

There are silly rules by the Pee hole. You are not allowed to wear any "floating devices" except life wests so Marlee could not use his little swim ring and arm puffs. We god to borrow a life west however from the life guards

In the evening we all took the car to Ormond where farmor and farfar were waiting for us

Driving to Madison to meet Jackie and Doug
As soon as we got ready in the morning (Saturday) we left the house in Ormond. Marlee was complaining about stomach ache all morning. He does that often but I noticed that he seemed worse this time than normal. In the car he threw up all over himself and his car seat (that we have borrowed from some neighbours of Alex's parens..). Luckily we were at a gas station when it happened and had plenty of paper available and room to throw clothes and the car seat cover on the ground when cleaning. After that Marlee had to go in the car seat without any comforable covers but he did not complain one time He did feel better after threwing up

I wonder what you get if you sound your horn, a beer?

When we got to Madison Alex was stopped by the police and they said that he was not wearing his seatbel (which he was!!!!). We god a nice little ticket on 111USD because of a lying policeman!!!

Our property in Madison County
Our property in Madison County is really beautiful I think, and peaceful! We have a little pond and a trailer to live in when we are there. Jackie and Doug have made it all very nice with running water from the well, electricity and bathroom. They recently built a shed for the golf cart and other things that we have there.
