I really really missed my extended family, well they aren’t my extended family but my real family.  It’s been ages since I’ve seen all my cousins at once or all my uncles and their wives or even my aunt and her husband all together in one place.  It was so beautiful and fun.  We had our first Thursday lunch at Grandma’s new place, it was AMAZING!  They had just installed (yes installed Dodo, I am a geek and therefore I use geek terms) the lemon grass, and it looked AMAZING!  We had lunch which was from Kabab El Hejja and directly afterwards we went out to the garden to have tea and coffee, but of course the boys (my male cousins all ages ranging from 13-3) were playing with the soccer ball in the corner.  So I decided to join them and play with them.   I have never ran that much before LOL! It was unbelievably fun!

At first I was with my 13 year old cousin against the kids hehe then I was the goalie, then both my younger Uncles joined us hehe then my little sister joined, it was crazy!  So we take a break and I bring out my iPod and the Speakers and put some music while we sit and have cake.  A few minutes later older Uncle comes and says that he is taking the kids to the beach whoever wants to come should join.  And I rush ahead with my cousins and we head out to the beach.  The weather is beautiful today!  I took pictures of my cousins and sisters at the beach, I took pictures of my shadow and shoes.   Hell, my sis and I got tired a bit and decided to lie down on the blanket she on my sweater and I on her tummy.  It was picturesque and while we were enjoying the beach with music from my Pod, we glimpse a horse in the sea!

A horse you say in the sea?!  How can that be?  A horse does not live in the sea! A horse may just drink or bathe in the sea.  And that was what it was doing.  I was supposed to take a few pics with the horsey but cousin didn’t know how to use my N90 and therefore no pics of me and the horsey :(  So we sit for a bit then we head back and I go out with Uncle (Youngest one) and I get him an early early Birthday present of the new Sony Ericsson mobile phone the W880i Walkman, the slimmest one out there.  And he became ecstatic and extremely happy, we went back and sat for a bit with Grams and that was about it.

That’s what fun I had today.  I feel that if I sleep and wake up I will feel sore from all the running around, but I’m glad that I got in a work out today LOL!  Tomorrow is shopping day, can’t wait! Now Enjoy the pics below since I didn’t want to disturb my story earlier with pictures.

The garden where we sat, the opposite side is where we played.  Nice ain’t it?

My Long Shadow which reminded me of, “Judy Abbot” the cartoon series.

My sister and cousin playing in the sand.

 My boy cousins and they were playing but of course that wasn’t in the beginning because more cousins were with them.

The beautiful horse we saw on the beach.

None of those hands are mine so be sure to not freak out hehe, but isn’t he beautiful?
