we got up early and found out that Tim and Larissa had booked at table at the
place they ate at for their wedding day for us! It was so lovely. Tim started
the day by making us eggy bread (aka French toast). Then later on we went to
Valentina’s restaurant for a lovely Italian meal. Heavens got pizza and I got a
seafood pasta dish! YUM! Then Heavens got tiramisu and I got chocolate fondant
for dessert. We each had a glass of wine and of course Amelie loved the olives
so much we had to buy some for later. It was lovely. So nice of Tim and Larissa
to treat us on our anniversary. Then we went back home and read our 1 year
anniversary book that everyone at the wedding wrote in. It was cool to read
back and remember our special day. We hung out and watched Good Will Hunting
then skyped mom and went to bed. We really enjoyed our 1 year anniversary and
even though it wasn’t in America we had a lovely day!

Sarah, Todd, Tammy, Olive, and Wilbur. Tim and Amelie came with us. We had a
picnic with lots of food then we played catch for a bit until Tim came up with
the bright idea of a trust ball game.
You throw the ball at someone’s head and the other person catches it
before it hits you. Great idea until Tammy got distracted and Heavens got hit
in the head with the ball. Very funny but left a mark! We played some soccer
with the kids and ran around a bit. Then we decided to head to the park. We had
some ice cream and rode the scooter then played with the kids in the sand. After a while Mick wanted to see the Olympic
Swimming pool so we made our way there. It was 2 pounds just to go in and look.
No thanks! But Mick, Sarah, and Todd went. Then we said goodbye to Mick, Dee,
and Sarah and went into Westfield to find some dinner. We attempted to eat at
Jamie Oliver’s but they said it was too cold to be served outside so instead we
went to Strada. We had pizza and pasta and chatted a bit. Then Amelie started
to not feel very well. So we took her home and gave her some medicine. We
watched a new film with Bruce Willis although he was only in it for ten minutes.
