Our little unicorn turned 7 and when she woke up to see her bday decorations she went scurrying around the living room gathering things she hid under pillows and pulled out cards that she had made for us on HER birthday. Gah i love her! She is really something else.

All she wanted for her bday was to hang with her family and Ash, go surfing, do a treasure hunt and of course ziplining the day before. We held true to all her wishes and had an amazing birthday for an incredible little girl.

A few weeks ago when we were on the ferry back from SJ, Dada was talking to a lady in our town (in spanish) and her friend was listening and asked if he spoke english and when he said yes the man told him that he was the english teacher at the public HS in Cobano and asked if dada would judge their Spelling Bee in a couple of weeks. Today was that day.

We brought Ash along who also ended up judging and i happily video’d and hung with the girls. Sophie and Sabs were so good and Sophie really loved watching it all. The morning ran longer than any of us anticipated but was def one for the memory bank.

What a random and fun experience. The girls got to be around all the HS kids in the local school, we ate lunch in the cafeteria and then they danced their little butts off on the spelling bee stage. Oh and they also downed two snack bags of cheetohs each. Oh the randomness of it all…always what makes it the greatest :).

The kids baked us bread and apparently there is another gift coming our way. Here’s some pics/videos.
