Owl's Hole

On Monday we had our first adventure with Sebastian and Alex in school.  We went to Owl's hole and then the beach.  It was a rough journey, a lot of walking, and a big sunburn but totally worth it.  I cannot believe it took us so long to get there.  I also cannot believe I went in, and it was freezing.

Grand Bahama highway before and after Dorian.  The destruction is unreal.

Meanwhile, Sebastian was having a great time at school. 

Fixing Truck and Hanging with Friends

 We have been looking after Bruce's truck while he is away, badly I may add, as Saturday it would not start.  But Sebastian was on it, he went to get his tools and went straight over to fix it.  This was well rewarded as when we called Bruce to tell him, he gave the truck to Sebastian ;).

With a few hits of the hammer and turning of the wheel he got Bruce's truck started up again.

His day continued to be magical as he had a playdate with Alex and they had a great time (between all the take turns and sharing tears).

100 Days of School and Sports Day

 Friday was also our school's sports day and the last day of school before half term. I love sports day and seeing the children in a different light.  They were so supportive of each other, it was all volunteer (no one forced to do anything) and all participated.  They were so supportive of each other and the people coming in last got far more applause than first place.  After we headed to the beach to kick off the week-long break.  My one surprise guest has turned to two, so very excited!

Oh and red team won!  No thanks to me, but we still did!

100 Days of School

  Sebastian had his first 100 days of school party on Friday.  They were told to create their own t-shirts in celebration.  I am quite positive he is the only one who did that! I was tempted to get involved but let him do it himself.  It had two bottles of paint on it, loads of taped on googly eyes.  And was beyond brilliant

The talent is undeniable! 

Half Time Killer Show

 For someone who lives in international communities, I have been terrible at joining into activities involving sports I do not know well. In fact, I think I missed out on a lot when working at Cotopaxi as I did not try to get involved with American Football and then missed out on a lot of activities.  I did not need to learn about the game, just not insult it, and then maybe I would have been invited to all the super Sunday parties they had.  I have turned over a new leaf and decided to embrace the Superbowl when Megan invited us to a party to watch it.  I did not watch anything but the Half time show but had a great time.  First, it is more about socializing, eating, and drinking, all things I am good at.  But even better the Half time show was the best ever.  Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dog, I mean really it does not get much better than that.  Sebastian and I danced through the entire thing.

Sebastian made for Megan Cash, he loves her.

I am a convert.  Well to the party, not the game.
