Big night!

Toby hosted his first international sleepover this last week with buddies from his school. Turned out to be 3 different nationalities...but they all spoke the same language, "crazy"! They seemed to have lots of fun although sleep was not on their agenda. His five short friends were serious about playing as much as possible and to that effect we even overheard them discussing before they retired who would wake them all up in the morning so as to make the most of their time. It was finally discovered that Camille (thanks so much) wakes up at 5am and would wake the rest of them up too.

Strange after they had their pillow-fight they were hot and couldn't settle down...maybe i should not have joined them?

The next morning yes in deed they were up and playing at 5am...as Cami and i lay awake listing to the mayhem. But don't feel bad, i got my revenge! At 8:30 we left our house and picked up some other friends and two Big people to help me and headed for the mountain on which i would torture them! No, not really. It was great, some of them had never hiked before so i brought water for each and we went up a small but impressive mountain outside of town. Only one needed the rope tied around his waste and a few others needed a hand and encouragement, but they all made it!

Then they threw rocks off the top...alas, they failed on the last rock!








Really a great bunch of boys!
Until next time!
