Sugar Beach Negros April 2010

- 1 hour flight plus 5 hours on bus Sugar Beach is worth the travel - we stayed a Takakuta Lodge http://www.takatuka-lodge.com/ hired our boat from http://www.sulusunset.com/ as they have cheapest boats and ate at Bermuda Beach resort which had the most amazing food!

angelica birthday party and volcano trip

The cheerdance extravaganza 2010

once again the girls have been part of the field demonstrations at CSA. Gianna got into the squad and has been practicing night and day. Angelica was enlisted with all her classmates as a Mexican girl.They both looked lovely In their costumes. Angelica's two front teeth that have been wobbly since October finally both fell out yesterday so she has a lovely toothless smile

the girls have been enjoying their dancing and college days - the summer term is always much lighter school work wise and they have lots of extra curricular activities

I can hadley hard believe they only have only 6 weeks and its the end of another school year.

They both have lots of friend now and Gianna more independent off to the Mall with her friends and lots of sleepovers and parties, which means its getting a fight to spend anytime with her at weekends her her social life is such a whirl, shes just growing so quickley

I took videos pf the dancing which s here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGcbe_7t-l4 We are all looking forward to Molly and Marios arrival next week and anothe trip to Taal lake next weekend :)
