A few weeks ago, we were very fortunate to be invited to a very special seventh birthday celebration of our friend’s daughter. Unlike in the Philippines where themed-birthday celebrations can be “all-out” events with parents usually spending a fortune for photo-booths, magicians, mascots and other what-nots, the celebrations here in Australia are comparatively more subdued - often “Barbie-themed” for little girls and held at nearby parks where children can just run around and play. It was, therefore, a pleasant surprise for all of us when we found out that the party we were attending had an Ol’ MacDonald-theme complete with little barn animals to pet!
This trailer looks pretty small but it has a pony, a cow, a pig and a few more cute and cuddly creatures inside.
We thought Marga would look great in plaid – to complete her cowfarmgirl look.
A little hesitation at first…
… but that didn’t last long – thanks to Pinky who bravely pretended to show them how it’s done! 
Of all the creatures big and small, who’s your favorite one of all?
Luigi and Marga could not resist petting and feeding their new friends…
… while glamour boy, Rafael, found it more relaxing to be out of the fence and…
… in dear mummy’s arms!
Whether it was meeting new friends or enjoying the company of loved ones, it was definitely a fun day for all of us!
First, I’ve already been here in Jeddah for a month and before I left the Philippines, I was browsing at your blog to probably ask a few questions about KSA and your current location so we could rub sands on our elbows (HAHAHA) when I realized you’re no longer here but on a greener pasture. Literally
Anyway, good luck on this new adventure and God bless you and your family in that kingdom far, far away.

Hi KK. It’s been a while since we’ve been in touch. It’s nice to know that you are now based in Jeddah. We’ve been there before any liked it – medyo magulo pero it reminded us of Manila. We left KSA a year ago but feel free to ask us anything about that place.
The Filipino community there is also very strong and supportive so that should help you a lot in getting adjusted to your new kingdom. Good luck and God bless!
