The summer social season kicked off here in Lukenya on a high note with a glamorous poolside soiree where everybody who was anybody was in attendance, dripping wet and eventually full of cake, popcorn, buscuits(cookies) and drinking yoghurt. The paparazzi were everywhere and so we have the following exclusive photos for you.
We've had a bunch of birthday parties in the last eighteen months, but this was our first pool birthday party.
It was Tina's 10th, and Fiona in a surprise move for all the kids, arranged for us to have the use of the swimming pool(one of two in the whole area)at her hostel.
All of the younger kids were looking at a pretty new experience. The older ones get regular H2O time at Mutungoni.
It was Tina's bday.
She was buoyant.
Uncle Gilbert gave floating lessons.
Joshua was sporting a retro man's one piece.
Sam was part of the Bay Watch Lifesaving Team
Some preferred the safety of foot dangling.
Courage demonstrated his face down.
And sunny side up.
Joshua
Kaleb in a little solo shiver.
Gilbert, Sam, Ben, and me, with our hands full of floaters.
Christine and Fiona high and dry.
Peace delivering Mikey and Christine landing Steve.
Abigail supporting Peace.
Mercy taking a turn.
Herenia overseeing land-based operations.
Ben, Gilbert and Sam.
Gilbert and hard-flapping Steve.
Jennifer keeping her head above water.
You are all invited for Tina’s eleventh. We’re thinking of Monaco.
See you in Canne. Big air kisses,
David

March 13, 2012 at 12:48 amMonaco… isn’t that where Martin Carlo is? Wouldn’t miss it. Just don’t make me eat the cake.
The kids look fantastic — so happy! It’s wonderful to see.

p.s. A pool huh? Pretty fancy. You made me swim in the dam.

March 13, 2012 at 9:28 pmWhat a thrill to see all of those happy faces! Kudos to Fiona for arranging such a treat as well as sharing her cake-baking talent. Tina will never forget her 10th.

March 14, 2012 at 2:50 amDear Martin,
The cakes, now baked by yours truly…or, more accurately, the bread machine Joy brought and left, are moist and deeelicious. The kids are growing and unimaginably good, and lots of other things. You would recognize and not recognize them. And they are living stabily on the hardcore foundations that you pounded into rubble.
If the Martin Carlo thing doesn’t work out, we may change the 11th venue to NYC. We’ll pile into your digs and do the funky chicken.
Saw our giraffes up close yesterday. They said hi.
Lots of love from this side,
David

I should have thought of that before I jumped on the camel caravan. Posting the blind luck winners today…then it’s EZ$ and EZLiving from then on.

See you soon,
