Big Brother Season 2

In May, after the final trauma of MBA exams, a group of us headed up the coast to Sea Ranch for a weekend of relaxation.  Six months on, Fini (the architect of the last trip) decided it was time for the housemates to have a reunion.  If you can have a reunion with people you see every week.

Adult numbers were down from the last trip, but we welcomed the new additions of Arbel and Noa!  The weather was somewhat dramatic, mixing the stormy Pacific with hot sunshine.  Hannah managed to blag an extra day off work and so we had a fabulous extended time of hot-tubbing, too much food and drink, coastal walks, reading, chatting...it was almost like being a student again.

Anyway, lots of photos, many featuring cute babies:

And if one green bottle should accidentally be drunk...


Ladies at work.


Central heating.


Yay, the babies arrived on day 2!  Here's Arbel.


And Noa (Moran also featured).


It soon became obvious what the main entertainment of the weekend would be.


But it did allow for some cute shots.


Men's work at the barbecue with Sagy and Elad.


Hannah teaches Noa multitasking.


While I show Arbel how to play Rock Band.


And, you know, so as not to show favouritism.


After a hard morning spent getting out of bed, Elad enjoys a nap.


Saturday, and we actually left the house for a walk to the beach.  Sleeper waves?


Almost deserted.


Hannah, in typical British summer attire.


Even the starfish were huddling together for warmth.


The feet that wore a thousand shoes.


Noa is unimpressed with my computer skills.


Some real sunshine on Sunday.


Hannah and Shauli (Mr Israel 2008) brave the hot tub.


Lunch on the patio.


The weekend finished with Moran's traditional food auction.  The stakes were too high.


Fini is happy with her haul.


A final coastal walk, with Sagy and mini-Sagy. 


Pacific.


Somewhere over the rainbow.  Next time...
