International Day for Johnathan's Soccer

Today they had an international day for Johnathan's soccer where all the kids were encouraged to dress up in the national colours and play five-a-side matches. They all had a brilliant time running around after the ball and even scoring a few goals.

Action on the pitch...

Johnathan win's a medal!

Supercars at "The Pearl"

Today Johnathan and David went to The Pearl to see a supercar show. The Pearl is a massive real estate development currently underway, being built on man made islands just off the coast near Doha (www.thepearlqatar.com). The first stage is now just opening up and the supercar show is one of the events to lure people down to check out the place. There were many fantastic cars inluding Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, and the Bugatti Veyron with 1000hp and 0 - 200kph in 7.2 seconds!!

Halloween Party

Halloween again. This year Johnathan dressed up as an arab prince and Susannah was a giraffe! Together with various ghosts, witches, and monsters the kids had a great party and went trick or treating. Now they can enjoy the spoils of the night for the next few weeks at least.
