Same day, twice. With Sophia still sick we decided to take it easy and let her rest in the house. That meant that Corey took Isabel to the market, to lunch and to the pool. At one point they also attempted to go to the farm at Casa Caponetti but they missed the turn and never made it there. Of course the road is completely unmarked, and the farm has no real address, so it’s not surprising that they missed it. It’s probably a good thing that they didn’t get there because Sophia would hate to miss it. I’m hoping we get to take a cooking class there before we leave.
Meanwhile Sophia convalesced in front of more Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes and Magic School Bus DVDs. But it wasn’t all bad. In truth hanging out at the villa, cooking, reading and planning out the remainder of our stay here wasn’t a terrible way to pass a couple of days. We also busted out the games and had four action packed rounds of Uno followed by a 500 piece sunflower puzzle that is still only about 1/2 complete. It was very family fun-time and picturesque playing cards under the grape vines. I think sometimes its those unscheduled, unplanned easy days that make the summer so special.
For the past two days Isabel has had a blast at the community pool. (more…)
We packed up the car and drove to
