JUNE 2010: SUMMER BEGINS

Summer gets off to a slow start here in Spain because school doesn´t get out until the later part of June, but we took our first trip to the beach on June 9th, which is a holiday here in the Region of Murcia. It was a ward activity and we had lots of fun. It seemed to be a cloudy and windy day, but it was a good thing that I smathered sunscreen on the kids and myself because lots of people got fried including my sister-in-law. In the end, only my shin on my right leg got burned and to this day you can still see the tan line or should I say burn line.
One of the kids´ favorite activities throughout the year is to play superheroes and June was no exception. Clark loves dressing up in Charlie´s costumes. Normally Charlie is Batman, Clark is Spiderman and Leo plays the bad guy.
In June we also had fun times at the park, at home and with the cousin but the best day was the very last day of June because we rented a van and traveled to Madrid to pick up Grandma and Grandpa Wilcken who came to visit for three weeks. Although we arrived late to the airport because we forgot to check which terminal they were arriving at and G & G were worried that we had had an accident and that we were at the hospital, in the end it was a wonderful reunion; the start of great family adventure traveling around Spain. More to come in the post for July.
