Sounds like a funky way to spend a Saturday don’t you think?!  While Chuck went to the property Tarrin and I stayed home, had a leisurely breakfast on the front porch and then played a few rounds of Dutch Blitz (fun card game Tarrin brought and taught me how to play…by the way I beat her, must be beginners luck!)  After finishing our game Tarrin did a few things on the computer while I decorated 2 birthday cakes for a party we were invited to later in the afternoon.

Here’s a glimpse at the party which was held at Bosco’s (a worker at the property and a good friend) for his 6 year old daughter, Coletta:

Tarrin, Anastacia and I were presented with baskets

Tarrin is taught how to carry a kiondo (basket)

Traditionally the birthday person is to serve cake to their parents and grandparents...this is Coletta's grandmother

Tarrin said a goal was to hold a baby while she was here...that was accomplished at the party

The party was officially over once mwaitu left the compound!

It was a fun day hanging out with friends celebrating Coletta’s birthday.
