Luau 2008

Next stop on Thursday was the compound organised Luau - kindof end of year function at the main pool. It started at 2pm, so when Andre and the girls left me at school they went straight there and I joined them after work.

There were organised games, the inflatable island, wonderful food and well just relaxing by the pool. An altogether fun-packed afternoon. The evening events were adults only but we did not attend so I can't comment on how that went ;)

Aimee and Andre competed in the island dash, Aimee made it to the end but not in a winning time. Sadly Andre fell off the side - kids were allowed to throw wet spounges and bounce the island while the dads tried to race. Andre also competed in the raft race at the request of his daughters - after a very sinking start, he managed to finish 4 out of 6 :) And then also at the request of the girls, we all took part in the mixed doubles raft race - Aimee and I paired together and Andre and Lucy paired together. Wow the length of a pool is long ! We didn't win but Aimee and I did manage to beat Andre and Lucy, and that was a win for us !

Al Hada - Home !

We live on Al Hada which is a smaller compound on the larger compound. Oasis bought the compound last May and there have been some changes. Notably the name of the larger compound is now Oasis Gardens, not Al Bustan anymore.

We have also had some changes to the gardens. They removed some of the more invasive trees and replaced them with HUGE palm trees. We are told they will clean up the rest of the gardens but that is yet to happen.

So here are some views around the compound and then of course our street - Walnut, and our house, Walnut 1.
