It has taken me half a year to have lexxis 9th party!! So we combined it with Ethans and invited both of the classes to attend a pool party. We rented the HOPAC pool for two hours and had a few life guard helpers and a friend! Our neighbors have been great friends to us all over this last year. The party went by really fast! They played a few games, ate some hot dogs and pineapples, cake and were out of there! The kids had a great time. When we were done Nick and kids went home to open their gifts while I went to try to sell some of my creations at the McFarllins art show. I had eight garden lanterns made out of rat traps. I have two left. Then I had some cards that I made too. It was a start. It was really kind of them to invite me to show my stuff with theirs, the venue was really nice. Maybe in Arusha this could be one of the projects we can continue to help other outreaches!?!
Prep work... Invitation list of both classes, party favor for each one.
Made the cake thurs, made the icing friday, and Nick decorated it while I was at a night swimathon. I swam 3 km in an hour. I forgot how out of shape I was... I was sore for the following two days! Nick did a great job. I had a picture that I wanted and he made the beach ball, just like that!
Relay races and other games.
All my helpers. Our house staff, Paulo and Flora came. The McBrides, Janet, Jonny, Mathew, Then Kandle and Victoria. Thank you to all who helped!
