I had a birthday last weekend and this weekend! The first was for everyone in my close neighbourhood, but Amanda & Luca, Noah, Adam & Sarah showed up too.

This weekend, the party was for my school mates. Here is a different Noah, Amanda, me, Nicholas, Julia, Wyatt. cowen couldn't come, and Ethan was sitting at a different part of the table.

As well as the trampoline (Nana and Grandpa), I got a castle (mum & dad), a shark-octopus battle t-shirt (Kieran & Declan), a credit card for toys R us (Mary & Jane), another credit card for chapters (Noah yellow shirt), a Brazil Soccer shirt (Older Noah) etc. If one was to measure love by the tonnage of birthday gifts, then I am loved. I wonder if this is the best way to measure it?

Bye Bye Brazil - Hello Trampoline

Humberto simultaneously introduced Julia to red roses and me to video game violence. When Batman hit the thug he became transparent and then vanished. There was no blood, but for some reason Papai was unimpressed.

Papai was much more impressed with the ball park in Don Pedro shopping mall and the birthday party fun place where Elaine works.

 

It was time to say goodbye to Brazil and all its people and trees.

Whenever I got back to Calgary, the back yard had a trampoline! It was my birthday present from Nana and Grandpa!
