Sea shells

Hello everyone,

The second to last night and we are on our plane back home!!! We said good-bye to five families today. It was nice having them here during our stay, and hard to say good-bye knowing we have two more days. Today was another beautiful day. We walked to the beach and collected shells. The boys really enjoyed it. They would shuffle through the shells, pick a few and stick them into their jacket pockets. We took them out and soaked them in water and we will take them home with us. The boys are really beginning to listen better. They would walk a little distance away from us while looking for shells, but when we called their name they turned around and came back. Hopefully the weather will be nice for the next couple of days because it is a wonderful walk to the sea and then to play and search for shells in the sand. Tomorrow is a holiday here, it is May Day, and there will probably be many people at the beach tomorrow and Friday. Tomorrow after our afternoon walk and dinner we will probably start getting things ready to pack; I really can’t believe we are almost leaving. After our walk this afternoon we went to the restaurant here at the hotel, the boys had a wonderful time. Actually I have to admit they were the best behaved children at the restaurant, yes there were other children. Most families let their children run around, back and forth from their table to a little play room, maybe outside and then again to the table. Vlady and Alex wanted to get up and play but we told them they had to stay seated at the table and they did, we were very proud of them. We ordered quickly and bread was brought to the table. This is a life saver because the boys love bread and they sat quietly and ate all of the bread as if they had not eaten in many days. They also ate some of our salads, and had mashed potatoes and pasta, they have very good appetites, I think they both must have gained at least five pounds. Well we are off to bed; hopefully the boys will sleep well tonight. We will post more pictures tomorrow and give you one last update. We love you all, Rich, Jayne, Vlady, Alex, Jotsi
