Our second week in Zlatibor has been full of color—literally and figuratively! One of the highlights was an art class in town that Henry, Dexter, Vivian, and Jaxon attended. They spent the afternoon painting beach scenes and came home proud of their masterpieces. Everyone loved the experience so much that it is now an official weekly activity during our stay. We also found a shop with arts and crafts and the kids are having fun making bracelets and other crafts.
We had a few rainy days this week, but they turned into cozy indoor moments, and the temperatures cooled down. Movies, board games, and endless rounds of cards kept everyone entertained (and mostly out of trouble). Rainy weather also seemed to be a cue for our new furry friends to show up. Our small pack—four dogs in total- now hang around the house like they have always belonged. We are certain Cookie spread the word that we are a soft touch.
Pickleball and basketball are still going strong when the sun is out, giving the kids a great way to burn off their energy (and gain an appetite). Speaking of which, with so many growing kids in the house, we are being eaten out of house and home. Grocery shopping has turned into a near-daily ritual—and possibly our newest hobby. We are also having fun just hanging out every day. Never a dull moment.
All in all, it has been a full and happy week, and we are settling into the rhythm of life here. We are looking forward to what and who Week 3 brings!
