Happy Birthday, Ava!


Today is Ava's birthday. She's a bit horse-crazy so you can imagine how excited she was to open her American birthday present! She also picked out a wooden lion from a local shop. She and Noah had collected a number of wooden animals from TZ which we left behind so they're looking forward to accruing a new menagerie. We had ice cream bars (ice cream is in short supply right now with the power outages) and finished with a wonderful swim at a nearby safari lodge.









By the way, we've finally located Ava's real family. She certainly looks much more like Minda and Rasmus, doesn't she? They are from Norway and they've become good friends this week at school. People commented about how Ava would stand out with her blond curls, but really there are so many Danes/Swedes/Norskis that she doesn't look much different than she did at home!
