Vacation week!!!

Well this week has been our vacation week. We are in Ocekiva with Jason and Joanna, Stepon and Vita. We are having a wonderful time. The women have been canning( Vita did it)and the guys are working on the cellar and the yard. They have to pour cement and build up the walls around the staircase going down there. We are planning on going to the second hand bizaar tomarrow to get some more clothes and later on tonight we are going to go to the forest to get some rasberries. We are really enjoying our week of rest!!!LOL Today Seth and Josh and some of the village boys went fishin'! They brought their sticks and bait and walked to the pond. After a while I went to check on them and they were ate the mulburry bush(i dont know why they call it a bush....its a tree....) they stopped to get a snack on the way home. They said they didnt catch any fish, so they caught frogs instead. Jason asked why they didnt catch fish, and Josh said," I dunno, they figured out how to catch the bait, but we just couldnt figure out how to catch them!!!" I had a good laugh. Shelby and Gracie are having a great time too. This week they have ate more cherries and mulberries then I have in a lifetime! The other morning we went for a walk and that was all we did was walk around the village and eat berries and cherries. Their clothes are all stained.LOL. Yesterday the women decided to take off for a while for a swim, so girls only, jumped in the van (yes Jason let me drive...)and we took off to the lake and had so much fun trying to teach Vita how to swim, well first she had to learn to float..LOL. In the pics Jeff is eating borsht at a little side shop we found on the way back to this village, and Seth was helping Stepon for 2 hours braking up dirt and shoveling it into the wheelbarrow and using it level our the lawn. Working hard on our vacation week but loving it! Well we will try to keep up with the blog updates its hard cause were always doing something. love everyone. Applings
