A lot happened this weekend.... so here is a somewhat quick and brief update...
On Saturday morning we received the gifts my parents sent for us through a dear friend who recently visited Mauritius and i must say the 3 of us were really pleased and happy!!!
Mona got the most gorgeous bracelet. It's gold (of course... as if mum would ever get jewellery that is not gold... lol) and it has a beautiful inscription of her name on it with cute little leaves on each side. (I tried to take pics of it, but it didn't come out quite clear).
Mona just loves the bracelet!! I made her tried it on on Saturday and she just wouldn't let me take it off...
The funny thing is that it has been quite a while now that i wanted to get Mona a gold bracelet with her name on it, and all the places we've looked at, either they were too big for her or way too expensive for the quality of gold.
It's really beautiful mom, thank you so much for such a gorgeous gift.
Before lunch, we went out to the beach and playground and let Mona run around and play with the other kids there. She loves going to the playground at the beach. She really loves the beach, as soon as she sees the ocean, she yells "Oob Oob Oob" which is water in Persian!! lol... She loves running on the beach and going towards the waves and running back to not let the waves catch her... lol... She would also squat down to look at the shells and different rocks on the beach and of course wave and say hello to everyone that she meets and run after the dogs!! lol...
In the afternoon, after Mona's nap, we went and dropped her to her grandma's place as we were going to the semi-final of the footy game. The game started at 4pm and it was Port-Adelaide (our team) vs the Kangaroos. We left early as it was going to be a very big and crowded game.
Little did we know that everyone else also left early....
We were stuck in traffic since 2.30pm and the game started at 4pm. We didn't even get parking close to the stadium and had to park on the main street on the other side of the West Lake. It took us 30mins to walk to the stadium at a fairly fast pace... We did make it just on time and sat down on our seats just as the game started.
It was the most exciting game of footy that i have even been too or even watch on tv!! The stadium was full, about 50000 people, mostly supporters of Port-Adelaide team. The crowd was so fantastic and i found myself yelling and supporting the team from the top of my lungs.... lol.
Of course we won!! By a smashing 80points difference and made it to the grand final next week. But the finals are in Melbourne, so we wont get to go to that one!!
After the game we had to walk back another 30mins to get to the car and funny thing was that the walk didn't seem that bad then... Then we drove home with the flag of the team out the windows lol... till we went to pick up Mona.
Apparently Mona had a great time too, she went shopping with grandma and granddad, had Hungry Jack (sort of like McDonald's) and even drank coke, she went to visit her little cousins (Negin and Omeed) and played and had fun all evening.
She was really happy to see her though when we came to pick her up... lol
On Sunday, which was another hot and sunny day, we went out to the beach and playground with Mona and she really had a great time playing ball with us. She was so happy to see the birds and run after the dogs.. lol.
I'll try to upload videos of Mona at the playground and the videos of the game, in a different post, cause i am really tired and need sleep.
