Today has been really fun. I pushed my sister into the swimming pool (which was VERY cold!!!) and then I jumped in myself. It was a big surprise how cold the water was…then, after that, Francesco and Hannah and I helped the dogs get clean. It was very fun! First we filled a big tub with water (it took a long time!). Then one by one, we cleaned each dog. Amanda, who is the smallest got the most wet. The least wet was Artu, who is the biggest. Luna and Giotto, the parents of Amanda and Artu, joined in the bath as well.

I have been looking forward to helping wash the dogs for a long time. When they are wet, they look a lot smaller than when they are dry.

Then in the evening, Francesco and Anna invited us to join them at one of their favorite restaurants for dinner. I got to ride with them in their car on the way there. It was fun to be with them. For dinner I had penne pasta with tomato sauce and it was DELICIOUS!!! I loved having dinner with them.
