Backyard Ruckus

This Mama had to investigate the other day, the source of all the ruckus coming out of the backyard, somewhere behind the greeneries. And what did we find?

Kids running around, with pompoms, a decapitated tripod, and just plain big smiles all around. I'd say!

Seems that somebody got the idea of using the tripod as a 'camera'. General hilarity ensued as little models wannabe practiced their art of posing.

And of course, this Mama should introduce you to the international cast. There was Kecil (Indonesia), Ami (Japan), JR (Philippines) and David (South Korea). They all lived in the neighbourhood, and somehow got together thanks to Kecil.

You see, Kecil played with Ami a lot. Then Ami got busier, so Kecil roamed around to look for things to do. One day, David noticed her, and they started playing together, despite their different age. I think he is older than Ami, who is already 1 year plus older than Kecil. JR moved into the house right across. At first he mainly played alone, then he started following whenever Kecil and Ami played together outside.

Then Bang! Suddenly they just all played together.

There are definitely difficulties sometimes. Conflicting schedules, language/cultural barrier (JR does not speak English at all!), not to mention difference in ages. Well... whatever said, I think these kids are essentially good kids at heart, and I have no doubt they will get through whatever difficulty that would prevent them from having fun together.

Here's for ever widening circles of friends! Cheers!
