Griffin Soccer Birthday Party

The Indestructible Pinata, made by Adela, the Venezuelan Electrical Engineer who's unable to work here so puts all her immense engineer brain power into making pinatas you can't break

Alice bravely played with a whole bunch of boys after previously claiming she wouldn't play.

Abraham also bravely acted as goalie, facing big boys as his opposition.

Felipe, Mateo, Gunnar, and Griffin - the soccer-loving dream team
from Argentina, Sweden, and the U.S.!

Alice's friend, Manantika from India, came to keep her company.

Abraham did not back down.

Note that Griffin is not in this picture eating pizza with everyone.
He refused to leave the soccer field. He knew a once-in-a-lifetime experience of getting all his friends on the soccer field when he had one.

Griffin's Blog for Griffin's Soccer Birthday Party:

When we go there there were lessons of soccer going on taught by the soccer coaches at my school .I waited a little while, until I saw a field that was clear .Me Alice and Boom got on the field and started playing around .When Bryce arrive lots of people started arriving .Nick (one of my 5 best friends in Malaysia),Till(the fastast kid in my class),Harrison(my new best friend), and a whole bunch of other people .Then the coach came in and devided us up into teams .It was a furios mach, we did 2 maches,my team won one and there team one one .I especialy proud of Boom boom ,this is how he defended ,got hit in the chest with the ball and got back up and so on .He got hit on the head and the face with the ball and and went off the field for a minute then got back on the field .after the mach we had cake .I didn't really like the cake ,I just cared about playing soccer .After that we hit the pinyata .I learned one thing from that ,I learned that 9 year old kids with a metal base ball bat can't break open one of adelas pinyatas .In the end dad had to break it open .After the party I tried to open a present but dad wouldn't let me .THE END.p.s.
Mom got a new camera shes realy exited about it .Best wishes Griffin.

In great humility, Griffin touted Boom's soccer playing prowess, but forgot to mention that it was Griffin who scored a beautiful goal.
