The day that we did nothing but play chess

By Abby:

Today was our second full day at our new house. Because we had a couple days to relax I decided to sleep in, that was until Hannah rudely woke me up, saying that Mom told her to. A bit of a misunderstanding, really. But I was up so I decided to eat breakfast, and have a shower, and then I joined the rest of my family on our private waterfront patio. We spent the afternoon playing Siamese chess, regular chess, reading and relaxing. For lunch we had bread with olive oil and vinegar, alongside some fruit.

In the evening I spent some time by myself in my room, and later watched the sunset from the huge window in my parents room that had a spectacular view of the sky and water.

Today was a day to take it easy and enjoy the warm weather. The next couple blogs will probably be a little like this... until we start to get moving with more enjoyable things... like school.
