Ashley set up a killer fun friday for the kids. First we met her at The Place where some kiddos from an orphanage in San Jose were visiting to spend a weekend at the beach. The fun friday crew made cards, cookies and cupcakes to welcome them to our town. When we got there we also saw Pia, Sophie’s art teacher, who was also greeting the kids with cards. Our little crew filled some happy buckets today! Then we headed off to Banana beach where ashley set up a fire dancers demonstration, made a scavenger hunt and the kids were able to play and swim in the pool. It was such a good time that i voluntarily stayed to hang out. The kids were all so good and watching Sabi hang with the big kids just warmed my heart. She was also kicking around the pool like a champ!

When we were ready to leave a storm started rolling in and we stopped at Green World to get some things and wait a bit. The girls ran out in the ran and jumped in every puddle they could find. They also stood under anywhere that a gutter type thing was dumping bucket loads of rain. AH it felt so good. We drove home on the quad while sophie was belting out songs and catching rain in her mouth. Sabi conked out on the ride home and will and I just soaked it all in.

It was another magical day!

Ashley hosted the first fun friday at her house this week and it was a Frozen theme. The kids all made frozen treats, did art work, went swimming at the neighbors house and overall had a blast! Sabi was so determined to go and bring her own little backpack. It was so precious! As soon as we pulled up she literally jumped out of the window into Ashley’s arms. Before we even left she looked at me and said “You stay dada, i go ashey”. Bahaha glad to know im so loved. She came home with huge chocolate covered smile planted on her face. She zonked out at the table 20 minutes later while eating strawberries.
