Balls / Bailes

Este ano hemos ido a un par de bailes. No esta mal te pones un vestido bonito, la comida fantastica, en el ultimo la banda que tocaba era muy buena e incluso pusieron musica en espanol, vino (del que hacemos en casa!) a medio escondidas. En el que fuimos ayer Thomas decia que se queria venir con nosotros y le tuvimos que explicar que era una fiesta solo para papas y mamas y que los ninos y ninas se quedaban en casa, pero le trajimos un globo enorme que le encato y se ha pasado todo el dia con el globo atado a la muneca.

We've been to a couple of balls this year. Good food, good (home-made) wine and good music. Tom wanted to come to the one yesterday and we had to explain to him that it was only for mummies and daddies and boys and girls had to stay at home but we brought home a giant balloon for him from the party and he thought it was great and spent all today with it tied to his wrist.

I just though this pictures of Tom palying doctors with Arabella and watching TV with her and Niahm were really cute.

Vacaciones en Dubai

Estuvimos unos dias, en Semana Santa, de vacaciones en Dubai. Nos gusto mas de lo que esperabamos. Es una ciudad bastante impresionante. Pasamos unos dias muy entretenidos y los tres nos lo pasamos fenomenal.

We spent four days at Easter on holiday in Dubai. We liked it more than we thought we would. It was an impressive city and we did quite a few things and had a great time.

Los centros comerciales impresioantes como la cascada esta con esculturas tamano natural de nadadores! El acuario tambien muy chulo.

The shopping malls there were very impressive like this waterfall at Dubai Mall that had lifesize statues of divers. The aquarium was also very cool.

Paseo en Dhow que es un barco tipico arabe pero qeu todavia se utiliza en Asia para trasporte de mercancias. Estan hecho totalemnte en madera. Tom se lo paso fenomenal con tanto transporte e hizo tambien una foto de mama.

We took a trip on a dhow, a typical arabic boat that is still used today to transport goods in Asia. It's totally made out of wood. Tom had a great time with all the different types of transport we used and developed a love of photography. He took this one of his mum.

Los edificios son realmente impresionantes. La torre Khalifa quita el hipo de lo alta que es (165 plantas!)

The skyscrapers were really impressive, none more than Burj Khalifa the tallest
free standing building in the world (165 floors!).

Dinosaurs y volcanes

This month Thomas has learnt in school about dinosaurs at really love it. Now he's a T-Rex and calls us Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus !!! But he wouldn't be a plant eater Dino!

Thomas ha hecho actividades en el cole sobre los dinosaurios y le ha encantado el tema. Ahora dice que es un T-Rex y a MAt y a mi nos llama Stegosaurus y Brontosaurio!! Pero no quiere ser un dinosaurio herbivoro.
