I'll upload the rest of the bbq photos later but first wanted to include the shots of the kids driving.
The funny part was at about 6pm (party started at 12:30pm) we were all out on the street in front of our house (also the entrance to the field) when 2 bicyclists approached us. As they got closer we realized they were the new director of the French school (with his 4 year old on the back of his bike) and his wife (Mia's substitute teacher for 1 month). They live 2 houses down. They are very, very nice. Speak great English; their 4 year old, Elvire, is in Ali's class; and their 8 year old is in T's class at school. They have 2 bigger kids, too. We enjoyed talking with them and I think we'll become friends. I assume they'll be here for 3 - 4 years while he fills the Director role. Another tid-bit, up the road is another girl in Ali's class and also one of Mia's best friend (about 5 houses away). It's a busy neighborhood which makes it fun for the kids.
Charlie Cooper (8) - in T's class and also in his first year at the French school. He also spent the night on Sat as he and T are best buds.
