TIme at the Home - Part III

Our last day at the Home was on Monday. We had an activity planned for the kids in the morning and there was a birthday party planned for the evening. They celebrate birthdays in groups. This party was for everyone who had a birthday in January and February.

After lunch, Norm decided to take the kids to the river. We went along to help with the kids and because our kids wanted to swim. They have this neat swimming hole they walk to so we all headed out following Norm's lead.

Here are some pictures at the river.
The water is deep enough (maybe 8 or 9 feet) so the kids jump off the rocks.

 

This is Beni getting ready to hit the water.

 

Manuel was also having a great time jumping in.

 

Gris is jumping with Hannah looking on.

 

Bethany's turn.

 

This is Sebastian with Tiana.

 

One of the highlights was this crab that the boys found.

 

Once we returned to the Home, Vickie and I started to make chili for the big party. It was a huge pot of chili to feed all of us.
Here is a picture of Don and Tiana waiting for the party to start.

 

There was lots of food and cake and presents. It was a fun night. We had packed our truck that morning so as soon as the party was done we got on the road back to Canilla We were all exhausted but we all agreed that we had some great days with the kids.
