All four of us had a good night's sleep and seem to have adjusted to Portugal time. We took our first trip to the beach. The temperature is in the mid-70s and the Atlantic is cold, but it didn't keep the girls from putting their feet in the ocean for the first time.
Haydee found it hard to believe that this trip to the ocean was only Heather's third, but when we explained the nearest ocean was probably the 14 hour drive or so to the Carolina coast from our house, it made more sense. I guess growing up in Kansas would add an extra 10 hours to the trip.
The girls enjoyed digging in the sand and finding shells. Audra got to pet a whole gob of clam that were attached to a rock. We had a picnic and came back to Kyle and Jayme's.
This afternoon, Emilia and Haydee have been working on learning the days of the week, making plural nouns, and the ordinal numbers (1st, 24th, 98th). I think we are headed back into Santa Cruz this evening to go grocery shopping and to eat.
