Madrid with Friends

Here are some photos of the kids having a good time in the Plaza del Dos de Mayo in Madrid. Oscar on the see-saw with Akio Berger (the daughter of my Japanese friend Yuko) and our neighbors, Solene and Diego Fernandez.

Alicante 29 September

We decided to take advantage of the "Verano de San Miguel" (the spanish version of an"Indian Summer") so we drove to Alicante for the weekend. The kids had a great time on the beach and in the pool. We took a nice walk along the boardwalk and of course, we went to the park.

Hiking in the Guadalajara area

On the 26 September we took a hike to a castle close to Guadalajara (a city northeast of Torrejon). Here is Oscar below the castle (notice his new hiking boots....). Miguel and Oscar in the castle.

Dani fell asleep on the way down to the car.

We stopped in Siguenza to eat some icecream and play in the park.

Dani´s First Birthday!

Wow! One year old! On the 16 September we celebrated Dani´s first birthday. We invited the neighbors over for cake.

Here is Dani with his cousin Alejandro. They are only two months apart.

Oscar had the job of opening all the presents. Oscar and Dani with neighbor Solene.

Oscar´s First Day of School

3 September was the big day!

Oscar started his second year at J.A.B.Y, his school. He was excited to see all his friends and of course to play on the playground. Dani was excited also because it meant that he had free rein over all the toys in the house.
