What a fantastic day! Woke up and thought the day would be raining and cold as predicted but it was sunny as ever! The wind was strong but it's Roquetas... that's normal!
Went and had breakfast with the parents in their hotel and then we walked down to check out a restaurant for later tonight to go out for Mom's birthday. I also wanted to walk down there to get their birthday cake! Since I won't be home for Dad's bday in May, I got the cake made for both of them!
Then we walked back and sat out by the pool. We were the only ones out there but it was warm and wonderful! I got to listen to a fantastic sermon on David and Bathsheba by Josh and just hung with the parents! Then we got dressed and went to Bar Spinnaker for a drink and to meet Dave and Jan. Stephen went with us and I think my Dad liked having a guy to talk to haha
I showed Mom and Dad how to get to La Mojonera (they have to make it there on their own tomorrow - ahhh we'll see how that goes!) and then we picked up the roomies and headed to dinner.
Apparently, someone else's birthday was being celebrated at the Indian restaurant we were planning to go to... Mom's eyes got so big and terrified when she saw "Happy Birthday" banners and balloons haha Instead, we went to La Grappa (gross name - ha) and had a wonderful, wonderful Italian dinner! Sangria, bruschetta, mozzarella and tomatoes, garlic bread, bread with some blue cheese butter, pasta - goodness!
We came back to the house and pulled up the bball games and got the champagne and cake ready for Mom and Dad! Got to surprise them and sing Happy Birthday and they liked it! Sarah actually made a chocolate cake as backup just in case something had happened with the bakery one - SO NICE OF HER TO DO! - and so we had two bits of cake haha It was fun!! Then we watched basketball and they headed out just a few minutes ago! I really had such a fun day with them and can't wait for tomorrow. Stephen left tonight for his trip with Antonio and the 6th graders - won't see him for about two weeks which is crazy! I'm sure they'll have a great trip though!
Tomorrow I am teaching the 3rd graders "Little Cabin in the Woods" - my all-time favorite camp song! It should be fun and it's got great motions to it so I am really excited haha
