Saturday was a huge game day. Not only did we have relays with the kids –
it rained so hard in the late afternoon we couldn’t leave the tent and HAD to
stay and play games. Karlin made Lissa go dance in the rain… In the morning we
got to have a special movie time watching Lion King. Lissa, who was the only
person in the entire world who had not seen the Lion King, thought it was very
cute, especially when all the kids sang along.
For our game day, we had relays, including
one where the kids had to pop balloons by sitting on them. Some of the smaller
ones had to jump especially hard to get their balloons to pop. During the
demonstration of the 3 legged race, Dawnette and Nancy rocked, while Karlin and
Bren fell on their on their faces – or how not to do the three legged race. Everyone
received a prize bag with candies, cards and toys and bargaining ensued.
Holly learned what it would be like
to have 10 children, when she came out with the kites. All the kids were running
around going “Papalote, papalote, me, me, me!”
Now we all know the word for kite really well. The kids flew kites until
the thunderstorm came and reluctantly gave it up.
Doranna, Dawnette and Karlin had a
drawing time, thinking they’d have one table full of kids and ended up with 3. There
are many excellent artists here.
Today, Sunday, we are going to church
and then on an outing to Cholula to have lunch, see the pyramid and church and
do some shopping. Tonight is the “Despedida” the Goodbye ceremony with the
kids. We have a human puppet show to share with the kids. When the kids say their goodbyes, everyone
will cry (except for Susan) but we are all so blessed to have had this week
with the kids.
Written by the whole team!
