Birthday Parties!!!

The parties here are VERY different!! Yusuf recently attended two- one of Jimmys and one was Elinors. Jimmy is the son of one of the teaching assistants I work with and is a year younger than Yusuf but they are really good friends so we were invited along. It was held at a hotel and was a lot of good fun.

(this clown was miserable and a bit creepy- needless to say with my fear of clowns this picture was taken with zoom)

Elinor is in Yusufs class at school and they are also quite close friends. This one was held at the beach and was a LOT of fun! We had sandcastle competitions, pizza, marshmallows and glow sticks! There was also supposed to be fireworks but it rained like crazy so we had to run home. Maybe next time.......
