Double Trouble

 

These two characters remind me of my best friend Barby and me when we were the same age.  They have become best friends since we moved into our apartment, and play, fight, and then play again, all day long.

This picture was taken this evening at the “Grest” party at the Parish.  “Grest” stands for “Gruppo Recreativo Estivo” (Summer Recreation Group) and is the summer activity organized by our local church.  We have so few day-care options in this country that during the summer, we all become devout Catholics if only to have a place for the kids. 

Alex and Lia go to Grest every morning, where they play, spend a little time being indoctrinated, and then play some more.  It’s risky, I know, but it’s the price we pay.
