Of course Sunday is just as long as any other day, but since the kids were GONE for 5 hours, it was a different sort of day at Camp MeeMaw.
Julika invited them to come swimming and swimming fit the bill since it was sunny and approaching HOT today. Invite accepted! (All my worries about cool and wet were for naught; it's now getting to "be careful what you wish for." I hope it isn't this warm in Paris!)
First, breakfast! We wanted our German traditional breakfast and we talked about it the day before: boiled eggs (or scrambled if you want), cold meats, rolls, cheese, jams, fruit. It worked out great. Hunter had scrambled eggs and a boiled egg (declaring he really liked them), Hannah + Kenley had scrambled eggs and assorted other things. Everyone yummied up on the rolls, absolutely no surprise since Germany has the best bread.
Then they were gone. I did the wash and some cleaning up and general keeping up and later Werner and I watched the Germany-England game. Funnnnyy! I was in and out doing the wash and only needed to listen to the neighbors to know what was going on. NO cars on the street. Except for the goals when yelps and hoots and vuvuzelas were tooted, it was deadly silent out there. W E I R D. Of course afterwards, it was cars and horns and vuvuzelas and screaming and carrying on.
The kids arrived back STARVING. We had roasted chicken, green beans, zucchini, salad and fruit. Kenley tried the zucchini, Hannah and Hunter ate lots of green beans. Hunter tried mightily to avoid the salad by dumping it in the flowers and then in the toilet but the girls never let him get away with it!! That was funny. The last of the ice cream was eaten with chocolate sauce and sprinkles and I swear they are eating like stevedores.
Here's the only picture of the day: Kids sitting on the side of the tub soaking their DIRTY feet before heading to bed. Tomorrow they will be even dirtier- it's off to the Watt. (Hannah looks grim, but she was only theatrically posing. It was fun for them all. But she did have a sort of bad hair day in the morning.)
