After School Fun

This afternoon at school a friend had organized a picnic for the little people in our families.

What a lovely way to spend the end of a busy week. It reminded me of the fun we used to have on Friday night's at home with cricket and soccer, minus the wine. Our school in Chennai is not just a place to go to learn. It is a place for kids and parents to hang out at the end of the day and socialise with friends. It also runs many after school activities for the kids to join, you name it, it has it. Sam is playing soccer and basketball twice a week and is loving the chance to learn these sports.

With so many of us living in apartments and no where for kids to run around and play, it provides the perfect environment for some normality. Our lives this school year are vastly different from last year and there's no more tears going to school, which Victor and I are grateful for. We have all met some lovely friends and we are so happy with the school. That's not to say that the kids would die to be able to come home tomorrow, but for the time it has brought our lives contentment.
