Peanut had her first play date with Gaia yesterday after school. Gaia is 8 yrs old and speaks 3 or 4 languages…it is insane. Anyway, they had a blast. They played dollhouse, ate homemade ices, walked to the carambola tree and picked carambolas together (with the help of a super nice Tico since the good ones were all really high this time), walked to sunset beach and looked inside an abandoned hotel, and finally walked over to the beach across the street and played in the river for over an hour.
They were building boats from logs, sliding down sand mountains, creating some house with computers and what not out of big boulders, finding pipes for telescopes and who knows what else. I was watching Sabsy most of the time to stay out of their way. I tried to sneak some pics but didnt want to be the creepy parent so most are from behind (which might be even creepier).
Anyway, at the end of the play date Gaia was insisting on staying at our house and showering here, then wanted to stay and eat dinner over. I told her maybe next time b/c her dad was on the way and we didnt even have dinner ready yet b/c we’ve been out playing. She said her parents always say next time, and then next time they say next time. Hahaha, kinda had a point, but nonetheless i was sticking with next time. She wasn’t.
Her dad came and she started yelling down that she wanted to stay and a bunch of other nonsense in hebrew. She then threw a fit Sabsy style and thankfully it was all in hebrew b/c i have no clue what she was saying. He said she was basically cursing him out in hebrew. It was intense. Sophie was staring like what the hell is going on. She didnt get it at all. She was still confused as to why Gaia wanted to shower or have dinner at her house. Then they left and Will said, “Sophie what is the appropriate thing to do when you are leaving a play date?”. Sophie looked at him and said “Ummm. just say bye”. I imagine she is going to talk about this today in school. Hahahaha. Well, they had a blast and kids will be kids :).
My phone died after these two pics so I didnt have many others. Will came and met us at sunset so i snuck some pics with his phone though for some reason they are really small?
