Different Atmosphere on Saturdays

Different Atmosphere on Saturdays

November 13, 2016 Posted by Keith Wight 3 Comments

Saturdays certainly have a different feel then the rest of the days here at HATS. The pace is just as hectic but there is a different atmosphere somehow. We started as usual with our 6:00AM walk along the canal with the older kids. We headed down the canal, across the bridge and back the other side…. About 5KM.

The afternoon was filled with preparations and finally the monthly birthday party.

This month’s party was for Karena – 8, Moise -14 and JJ (Jean Jacques) – 15.
All the kids love a party with the balloons, candy, games, getting dressed up, and visiting friends and of course cake.
What a celebration!!

    I love those early morning walks. Wish you and Joan would still be there too, to go with us.
    Birthday party days are so much fun for everyone.
