It's been a whole week since my parents and niece arrived in Spain, and we've settled into a routine of one day out and about, followed by a more relaxing day closer to home. Last week, for example, we had a busy day at the park and beach in Benalmádena, and then they had a lazy day by the Villa Rehoboth pool while I met with the rest of the Rehoboth team to prepare a ministry programme for this week.
On Friday, they shared the pool only with Brandy the dog, but on Sunday they had to share with lots of other families, as it was the day of our church's summer barbecue. Yesterday was another "out and about" day. We drove to the lakes at El Chorro, where we spent a busy day swimming, sailing and picnicking. That means that today is one of the quieter days again - when I can catch up with work, and the family can enjoy a lazy day in Alhaurin.
