This morning we went into Cholula, first we had breakfast out. Then some of us toured the pyramid. The pyramid has not been open for the last couple of years so it was a treat to see the new areas that were open. After the tour shopping was our main task. Lots of looking and buying. Grasshoppers were on the wish list for Steve’s (uno) boys. Susan treated the girls in the teen dorm to scarves, so she was on the hunt for special color combinations.
We headed back to EV for lunch time (although none of us actually ate lunch…. Maybe we over did at the breakfast buffet). After lunch we had planned a game day for the group. We sang the song we have been teaching them all week, and when the song ended they begged to sing it again. During game day the last of the kid’s teeth got cleaned by Lee & Bren. Fun was had by all during game day. Every game came with lots of movement, smiles and best of all prizes!! We handed out almost 300 suckers, 36 packages of crackers & cookies, blow up balls, and 100 decks of cards. After the organized games the kites and sidewalk chalk came out. Card games broke out as well. Some of us lost and some of us won….These kids know how to play a mean game of cards.
Dinner followed for us, then a little R & R while the kids ate. Then it was back to our wild games of cards and cribbage and sharing time with the kids. We did not have to plan for activities tomorrow since we are headed for church on our last day here. I know I am trying not to think about it being our last full day here, I am trying just to enjoy every last second with the kids until we leave. I know for sure I will be leaving a part of my heart here.
