Back with friends, back in Ridgefield!

The first week we were back in the USA, we stayed with our good friends Bob & Valerie and their daughters Mia, Emmy & Ella. These are the best friends of JJ & Jezz, so we all had a blast seeing them again after 2 years!

But when we arrived in Ridgefield all the kids in Connecticut still had school, so we asked Barlow Mountain, their old elementary school if our girls could join a day and sit in the class with their friends. So fun to be back in their old school, the kids had so much fun!!

Mia, Ella, JJ, Emmy & Jezz, so happy to be together again!

While at school they ran into an old classmate and friend; Gina.

Mrs. Moran, Jasmine's kindergarten teacher was still there as well, so fun to see her again!

And Juliet met her Pre-School teacher, Mrs. Schumacher again, so much fun to see their teachers again!

Mia graduated that week from Elementary school, so we had a party at school!

Watching Mia's graduation.

JJ & Jezz had flowers for Mia.

Proud parents Val & Bob with Mia, the first one to graduate.

Mia & Trey, a good friend. They look like a married couple, said Juliet... haha! Even their clothes match :-)

This was the first graduation we celebrated this week, but 2 more to follow. LOL we didn't realize that we would be here to celebrate all these graduations, but it turned out that all our old friends were graduating this year. So fun to be here for these special occasions!!

I am finally settled a bit and uploaded all my pictures, so more to follow soon!
How is your vacation?
Are you enjoying the sun, sea and sand, or just some down time??

We are having a blast seeing all our friends again!

Crazy Hair Day

At Barlow Mountain Elementary school here in Ridgefield they 'celebrated' Crazy Hair day today. So I asked the girls what they wanted to do with their hair. First they said they wanted to dye their hair red like Ariel. So we went to the pharmacy but we couldn't find dye that is washable and we didn't have the time to go to a mall. We started looking around what else we could do and suddenly they saw these blond hairpieces and that was a perfect second choice! Hair as blond as their teachers! Well, that is what they got. However, the teachers don't have hair like this, at least not the style, the color kind of matches, but the girls thought it looked exactly, so happy as can be we went home with the blond hairpieces. For 1 day they will look like their teachers ;-)

Funny how blond hair looks on them, we laughed so loud! These silly hairpieces gave them a new identity for a day!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
