Day 1 - Thursday, August 15th:
Claire, Marcus, and Lindsay were the only ones up before noon, so Lindsay decided that they should probably try to get some groceries. She loaded up the kids in the double stroller, and headed down the 'hill'. Now this 'hill', is actually the driveway which leads to our house and one more. Let's just say that it took all of Lindsay's strength to keep the stroller from rolling down without her. But, nonetheless, she made it to the grocery store in about 15 minutes (not so bad). After loading up the stroller with food, the trek back was slightly more tricky, as it was entirely up hill. The good thing was that there is a wine store (Oliver's) about 5 mins before home, which also sells baguettes. This made Lindsay very happy, which Oliver must have realized, as he gave Lindsay his card for the store. To finish the story, Lindsay parked the stroller at the bottom of the driveway, and carried the kids up, and later went back to get the stroller. The good thing about walking the 'hill'.......no gym memberships will be required :0). The rest of the day was spent trying out the pool, and eating pizza and wine on the terrace. Well......that is until the sleeping saga began....basically we had a Cheerios party at 2 am (yep, all 4 kids were up), and finally got everyone back to sleep by 6 am. Yawn.
Sorry.....ran out of momentum to write on days 2 and 3.
