Sapanca-Nisan 2007

We all knew that the decision would drive Mıstık (baba’shelper) crazy. Didnt he keep telling us all to at least give him 2 days warning in advance if we ever plan to go there? Well.. this time,we all can blame this to Selim at least.Hehehehehe …well..i was only told of the plan onThursday at 11pm!!

Like Mıstık said in Turkish...…
*çocukların hatirayla gidiyorum!*
(I am only going because of the Children) hehehehehehhe

well...we all certainly did pay for the last minute warning… Naturally,Mıstık went to Sapanca house (baba’s summer house) on Friday. He did all the necessary cleaning,turned on the central heating system of the house, and left for İstanbul that very night.

The house naturally could not very well aired (3 storeys house within less than a day....When we all reached sapanca on Saturday (we managed to persuade mıstık to come too heheheheeh...çok çok rica ettik biz....), none of us could sleep in the room without coughing badly….selim n family.. Halil n family ..and even safa…the carpet n the not fully aired environment in the rooms were affecting all of us.

But was it worth it?

to be able to escape from bricks n mortar and this kind of traffic ..


into this all flush green..fresh air..naturally cooling road..
to enjoy the view of the untrimmed greenness from the balcony...

to enjoy the view of the green pool..sapa mau mandi bunga dengan katak katak ni..anytime bolehhh..)

or this cherry tree (unedible) flowers which took my breath away...

or the contrastive white cherry flowers (edible cherries) which give contrast to the green surrounding

an apple tree flower

and a flower from at the neighbour's..

a walk with the love ones...

stone throwing as we always do..

with a pose near the lake...

And a suprise visit from halim n family

And a further bonus, the frogs in the pool decided to give us a special concert!!They were”singing” and singing to their hearts’ desire at nights.… and guess what??

My dear all grown up very loveable very cute yet a child hubby decided to play with the frogs!!!!! Hahahahahahaha Well.. what he did was he took a stick from somewhere... he let half of the stick to be in the pool water and moved around the pool... trying to get a frog to catch the stick.. he managed to a few times as well...luckily he didnt decide to kiss the frog… !!! hmmm... here is my halil with the frog hhehehe

Well.. at least this year is better...last year during one night in Sapanca, my son baddin actually had scooped a frog right from inside the pool with his bare hands! I guess the two men in my life have this weird thing about frogs..... luckily they didnt kiss the frogs!! yikes!..

I came home from Sapanca feeling as if my throat was held by a blade tip... swallowing was very very painful...that i had to resort to just living on soup... nights were worst... i couldnt sleep properly due too much coughing...I am feeling better Alhamdulillah.. Funda also had her back in pain the last few hours before we were to leave sapanca..she hasnt fuly recovered from it... the latest stat..elo's temperature was at 39 degree celcius yesterday

Was it worth going to Sapanca? the green..the BBQ....the fresh air... Yup! u bet it was all worth it.....every moment of it..i really do miss Sapanca...
