Mini Christmas

Mum, Hayley and Troy went to the mountains to have a mini Christmas because we were off to France with our Dad and Annabelle for Christmas. 

We skied down this mountain!

This was our teacher on our first day.	After our lessons we went up to the top on the chair lift.  Cool!
Uli Jr and Leo were there too .. so we hooked up!	Because it was a mini Christmas .. we had presents!  Yeayy
Grannie Mo sent them all the way from Ireland.  So great!	What a great time...  comin' back soon.

Big Cycle

Mum finally rigged up the bike-carrying-thing on the car.  So off we went.   We parked at Pacha Mama .. and took off ... it was our first big cycle.   Troy went crazy .. he just peddled and was gone.  He had the smallest bike, but was the fastest on the day.  We had gears .. he just had real fast feet!!!

Sorting out the day	Just about to set off
We are here .. way in the distance	We had a break here .. and a mini picnic .. Very Tired!
This is not a picture of where we cycled .. Troy is somewhere here ...	.... closer .. can you see him next to the little house, on the left ... there was no stopping.  Troy Come Back!

Salóme and Jossy

Sometimes it's hard to believe we're so lucky - and today with the weather! Amazing!
Today our friend Jossy came over with her dog Salóme and her friend Tito.  So after school we went for a big walk all the way to the river ... and back.  Wonderful. 

Tito, Salóme and Jossy

Hey .. wait for us!

A wonderful November day ..

Piratas .. Bruno's Birthday

Bruno's mum Carole did a big big party for Bruno.  It was in the theme of Pirates of the Caribbean.   There were treasure maps and treasure troves, mermaids and monsters.  It was really cool.  We took alot of pictures!

Churros

mmmmm.
Only when we're REALLY good does mum take us for Churros con Chocolate .. this is like a massive big snake of donut and mealty chocolate to dip it into.   It's too good or as Troy has taken to saying .. it's 'sick man'.   Which means good in his opposite world!

We're in the old town	Oh yes!
The spoon can nearly stand up on it's own it's so thick.	Churros .. donut

Waves

A picnic Sunday with Amy and Bruno for mum and for us ... After the usual Transformers game with Troy and Vincent ..  Rufus, Vincent and Hayley took to the waves .. Troy took to the Dunes :)

Bonfire Pinos

Our friend Georgie came back to Tarifa for a week. So we had to celebrate by going to the Pinos. Even tho' it's October. It's still just lovely weather. How lucky. We cooked potatoes and mealted marshmellows... and watched the sun set.

Nothing like building a fire in the forest!!  Careful!!	Julia popped by and brought Gus
