Puerto Rico Citrus Hill Project - Day 16

Highlights of day 16 on this amazing island:
- The water was still off this morning when we got back from the gym. It’s typically back on by 4 or 5 in the morning but not the case today. We took advantage of no water and relaxed for a couple hours this morning before we had to start up the pressure washer again :) We had breakfast upstairs on the porch and studied and read before the day had to start for good. 
- Josh took the first swings with his new machete. I think he feels officially Puerto Rican now. 
- We make fruit and yogurt bowls every morning for breakfast.  Such delicious fruit here!
 - Beck took over the top spot of most mosquito bites. Rease has been holding strong in that spot for the past two weeks but Beck definitely earned it today!
- The boys each got their own squeegee and finally feel like they can contribute. 
- We got the back two bedrooms and bathrooms all done with the pressure washer! Such long hours up there with the water and paint everywhere but I can see the progress. It’s going to be done one of these days I just have to believe that :)
- Liev slipped on the wet tile upstairs and bonked his forehead on the ground pretty good. His goose egg is one for the books!
- Desh has an ear infection and luckily for us Papa is here and was able to call in some ear drops for us. 7 phone calls back and forth to Walgreens, one prescription transfer and 3 hours later we finally had the drops in hand and put them in just as he was going to bed. Hopefully he gets some relief. 

Overall a good solid day of lots of work sprinkled with some fighting here and there and lots of laughter. Sound like a normal family? It is here!
