Two Birthdays

Bruno and Mookah

Troy's friend Bruno was 5 - and he had a cool birthday.  It was a circus birthday.  Hayley is in circus school so she had the best time.  Troy went crazy with the guys in the sunshine and loved that he got to play with all the toys. 


And then we had Hayley's friend Mookah's birthday ... in the Piños.  Strangely here we had a lot of hanging out too.  One of their friends was a climber so he roped up a tree for everyone to swing from.  We stayed till the sun set.  A super cool day.

Leaves

Last week we went to collect leaves for Autumn Projects.  We went with our pal Bruno to a forest just behind Los Barrios.

And Voila!  The trees!

.. we didn't really get enough leaves that day .. so during the week we all went again to a town not too far from Tarifa called Castellar de la Frontera.  On the way we saw stork nests on top of electricity poles.  We explored by the river and had a picnic.

Hayley and Bruno	Troy got to play with as  many sticks as he could possibly want.  Stick heaven!
We went along the river and found an old bridge, was kind of spooky!	We actually managed not to fall in too!

After that we went up the mountain to the tiny town and it's castle.   It was so cool.  Hayley said it was like we could see the whole world from the top.
