Yet Another Aqua Park

Wednesday, June 28

Well as we close out Wednesday we still do not have a confirmed flight home. The Eagles song comes to mind. “You can check out any time you want but you can never leave.” We know that is not the case for us as we are 11th hour people serving an 11th hour God. Still we are ready to hear something…soon…please?

We had a nice day if you consider a nice trip to the Doctor good. For a medical it was very pleasant though. They saw us right on time, better than a lot of doctor’s offices I have been to in America. They did all their vitals and measured their height and weight and did a brief eye exam. Sasha is one inch taller than Stella and about 8 pounds heavier. After the nurse did the vitals we saw a woman doctor that spoke some English. She was very nice and gave suggestions about various things we should do when we get home to America. There were also records of shots and it turned out that Sasha needed a measles mumps and rubella vaccine to go to America. We were a little unsure about it since what kids handles getting shots well but he said, “No problem.” He was right. He watched them give him the shot and did not even make a face. We were very impressed. Garrett told him when he was his age he did not handle shots that well. He did not have any reaction to it either. He did great!

We went with Lola and had lunch at one of her favorite coffee shops. We had sandwiches and fries. It was good. I had an ice coffee. Sasha thinks they are great and Stella does not. We are not too keen on them starting a coffee habit just yet!

Sasha has Aqua Park on the brain! He feels it is his duty to inspect as many pools as possible and he was determined to give it his best shot to get to one today. He talked to Lola to find out if she was available to take us. We thought she may not be since she had more families coming in town today but she asked if we swim and of course we love to but I have had a little head cold and was not feeling up to swimming and Garrett pulled something in his shoulder. She has a 12 year old daughter and asked if she could take Sasha and Stella swimming at the pool and Garrett and I stay home! After a brief moment of guilt we decided that would be okay or as Stella says, “This is yes!”

We came home and got the kids ready and at 3:50pm Lola came and got them and said 2 or 3 hours. We said fantastic! I caught up with my blog and we rested a bit. We started dinner, thinking the kids would be hungry, with what we bought at the grocery store. They did not get home until 7:30 and had lots of stories about the pool. Sasha let me know they had blue water and it was lots of fun. They were BIG hungry! We could hardly fix stuff fast enough. After dinner they had showers and we watched a little t.v. We decided to try to get to bed a little early and we did an ok job of that. We are still waiting on confirmed flights to come forth. We are calling them forth!! It is time for the new Boyd Family to come on down to America!!!
