On Sunday we had a group of friends around for a bbq in the afternoon. It was the perfect summer day with temps reaching almost 30 degrees C in the mid-afternoon. It was exactly what we all needed! In total there were 9 kids and they all got along fantastically. They spent the day in and out of the pool; on and off the trampoline; on and off the doombuggy; in and out of the jacuzzi (they thought the pool was too cold so they decided to all swim in the jacuzzi ;-)... It was the perfect day.
Martha, who is 10 years old and at the British School, adores our little Ali. Ali, of course, adores Martha too. Actually, Martha, Ali and Mia all love being together and often are as Curt and I really like their parents and Terence loves her 2 brothers, Tom and Oli. Tom is Terence's age and they spend a lot of nights sleeping at each other's homes. Tom is one of the first boys T's age that he immediately hit it off with so it bonded the families together quickly. The other great thing is that Tom, Martha and Oli are probably all going to start at the French school from September so we'll have more in common.
Anyhow, during the party on Sunday, I looked across the backyard and noticed Martha repeatedly spinning Ali around over and over again. Ali, of course, loved it even though a few times (including in this video) I thought her little arms would get pulled out of their sockets. They were excited when I ran over to video them and immediately wanted an instant replay to watch themselves...
