Cliona turns 6


Come with us to Neverland on a Peter Pan adventure. The back garden was transformed into Neverland and all Cliona's family and friends dressed up as their favorite Peter Pan characters. Cliona was Wendy, Avery was the crocodile and Kat was a mermaid. Captain Hook (Stephen) led his band of pirates (Dad, Gk, Kerry and I) while Tiger Lily (Dana) and her Indian tribe (Dave and Brian) painted faces in the tee-pee. Mam was Mrs Darling, looking after us all!

Another highlight was Cliona getting her American girl doll. She had been to the store (that is completely dedicated to these dolls and their accessories) on a field trip last August and had been asking for a doll ever since. So Mam,Dad and I brought her to the store so she could pick out her very own doll for her birthday. It was a great treat - she picked the American Indian doll Kaya.

Mam and Dad got Cliona a horse-riding lesson for her birthday so we all went off to the stables to watch Clio ride Miss K K. The stables were lovely and Cliona had a blast grooming and riding her pony. Of course, the whole afternoon is well documented with pictures :)

In May, we all headed up to San Francisco to watch Stephen run the Bay to Breakers race with a bunch of friends. We had a fantastic time with Chris and Kathy - little Parker and Clio got along so well and Brian was great on the long trip . We managed a trip to Cal Academy as well as a visit to John and Meridith to see their new baby, Lila.
