Party's over for the four of us.

After a night spent with the sisters-in-law, me and Claudia, Duarte and Inés, when we woke up, we woke up "dead", so after exchanging again, we greeted each other with the other's milk, we went to take a bath, one at a time. It wasn't until after we'd showered that we had breakfast, and then we'd eat on the porch while we figured out what to do that day. After the meal, we pack our bags, leave the house tidy, such good manners, and set off for home... The children's longings were already great, both for their parents and their uncles... Arriving at the house of Claudia's parents, the pimples appeared, all happy with life, Hugo jumped into the lap of Mother, Beatrice into the lap of Father. Inez and I greeted her parents, for they too seemed happy. In the meantime, we all had breakfast at Inez's parents' house, and then we went to Duarte and Claudia's house, and then, while the little girl went to her room to play, the four of us agreed on what to do the next day, which would be Friday. And it went like this: - Claudia and Inez, they were going to the school where Inez taught, to see if everything was already on the right track... Me, Duarte and the kids were going for a walk to give Mom and Auntie time to do what they had to do... I don't think I've mentioned yet that you're both high school history teachers, right? Well, they've been talking for days about switching, Ines to Claudia's school, and this one to Ines's school... It would be a good exchange, Claudia wouldn't leave her children and husband, and Inez would come to my house... It took a while, but all we needed was the papers from Claudia's school to confirm, and for that, Claudia and Ines would have to come here to Claudia's school... We'll find out when we meet again, and it's the end of the world, and so on. I immediately said: - It's this Saturday, I have to go home, so I'm not going alone. - What do you mean? I: - Pack your bags, and let's all go down from <unk>Alfa Pendular<unk>, the children and Inês, they will know my land, and then the manas will take care of the rest, what's left, on Monday, what do you say? Look, what a great idea! Samantha: That's a good idea. Do you think we'll be able to do what we need to do on Monday? If they can't, they'll spend the week at your place. Well, in that case, pack your bags. In this, Duarte gives a shout, calling for the children, and when they come, I say: Hugo and Beatrice, pack your bags. You're going to see your uncle's house. They both looked at their parents, happy but very serious. Beatrice, the eldest, asked: - Mom, is it true? - If it's your uncle, say it! Child: - Boraaaa, let's see the beaches of Arrabida, let's see Troy too, uncle? If you behave yourself on the journey, remember, we're going by train, and we're going to cross the 25th of April Bridge. - Let's get the backpacks ready, bro! And there they were both, very happy, of course, that Mother went back, were not, they put things, not necessary for the trip. Ines turns to me and says: - So I have to go home, pack my backpack too, will you come with me? I said, "Of course, drill there!" We got in Inez's car, and off we went. When we arrived, Ines explained my idea to her parents and went to pack her backpack, while I talked to my in-laws. So, inviting you, for the summer, to come visit us, and know my area, which is very beautiful. They agreed... In the meantime, Inez convinced her father to take us to Duarte's house, so that his car wouldn't be left in the street. With all this fuss, arriving at Duarte's house, Claudia was already preparing dinner. We had dinner and went to bed, each couple in their own room, and Inez and I, after bathing, went to bed, only to wake up the next morning at eight o'clock. We had breakfast, and then the sisters went to school, and we sisters-in-law went for a walk with the children. It was around 11:30, Claudia calls Duarte, says they're already home, making lunch. As we were nearby, we soon returned, and went to help with lunch. After lunch, Duarte and I went to the station, bought the tickets for the next day, and at the same time, arranged for two taxis to pick us up at home, and bring us to the station. All set, we head home, where we spend the rest of the day, quietly watching the Net, here our beaches. Finally, we had dinner, and we went to bed, for on Saturday, the time to catch the "Alpha Pendular" would be close to 10 a.m. After boarding the train, it was quiet, super well-behaved children, both in a seat, the parents in the back seat and the uncles in a side seat. - We left Gaia, we went through Aveiro, Coimbra, Lisbon-Oriente, and where everyone got up to see the scenery, Ponte 25 de Abril, it took time, but finally, we reached Pinhal Novo, where we left. My car was in the parking lot, I just got out of the Alfa, and got in my car, where we went straight to the restaurant, to have lunch, because everyone was hungry... That's all for today. Here's to staying at home, with lots of walking. I hope you enjoyed it.
