August Weekends

August is hot... and a little boring because everyone leaves and everything closes.

So we make our own fun...

Our toddy maker(s) arrived!! I had my first iced coffee... a-mazing.

I thought I saw someone with a shopping bag that said "Time Lord" on it and I got really excited... It didn't really. I think they had purchased a watch.

I found out there's a place that has beginning ballet classes for adults!! I can make friends AND become a prima ballerina :)

We went to our favorite pool in Madrid, where you feel like you're at some sort of ancient Grecian baths because it's surrounded in tall trees, Ke$ha is NOT playing over the loudspeakers...and probably because Nikki and I have vivid imaginations.

((maybe don't examine this photo too closely... you never know what you might see))

I got some long-overdue new tennis shoes.

Like as in, I should have gotten new ones before we left 8 months ago.

We had delicious Indian food. And watermelon. Because only Nick can ask for watermelon in a place that doesn't *actually* have it, and they go find some for him.

And I got to talk to my whole family.

Even though the internet was being uncooperative and most of our conversation consisted of "what? I can't hear you. You're frozen" and taking screen shots.
