A typical weekend with my family
We are a family of four. Nowadays we work 5 days a week and rest on Saturdays and Sundays. Once a month we spend our ‘Special Weekend’ at my parents’ farm. We have a routine when we spend weekends at home and other different when we are there.
At home we never get up before 08:00 a.m. on Saturdays but at my parents’ farm we usually wake up before 5:00. We have a delicious breakfast consisting, most of the time, of hot chocolate, cheese and scrambled eggs. We start milking the cows at 5 a.m. We finish around 7:30. We rest for 30 or 40 minutes and take a shower.
The farm is small and we can walk it in ten or fifteen minutes so we don’t use to spend a lot of time in the farm itself but in places like the dam that is nearly or the river that passes at the bottom of the farm. There, we swim and play for hours and hours, sometimes until lunchtime.
We also enjoy a lot collecting fruits and flowers. I enjoy collecting fruits but what my wife, daughter and little son enjoy more is going across the country and picking up hundreds of beautiful irises, camellias, roses and daisies.
At noon we use to have a lunch cooked in wood stove. We usually have chicken stew, salad, rice and lemonade. My mom’s stew is supernatural. Sometimes I thinks that her sweetness make everything more delicious. Napping after lunch is a familiar tradition but I prefer taking longs walks listening to music in my cellphone. We sleep at my parents’ house on Saturdays and leave next day at noon.
On Sundays my wife and I use to go to the river early in the morning but we are ready to leave when my parents return
