Day 12 - Birthday celebrations

So today was a day for celebrating my birthday with Rhett and Shelley's family. It was really nice to meet and talk to more "real American people" and talk about our similarities and differences.

It was really good talking about work too as some of the guests are teachers too.

Challenges that we all face in the classroom are common both sides of the pond. 

I was blessed and honoured to receive some more presents including some American candy and some homemade zucchini bread.

We also had cake today. Oreo ice-cream cake. The whole thing was ice cream and truly delicious. Never before have I had a cake like this. 

The afternoon spent in the pool playing volleyball and relaxing. 

Being able to just chill enjoy the weather and have the luxury of the pool.
