The Kids Having Fun!
This past week was a fun one for the kids. On Wednesday, October 31, we had a party at the language school for all of the missionary kids. So, all the kids dressed up and had a good time. Kaylee dressed up as a La Liga player. La Liga is the name of a soccer team in Alajuela here in Costa Rica. Chariti dressed up as an Oklahoma Sooners fan (we used 2 rolls of toilet paper for her shoulder pads). Then, Chaz dressed up as an Hawaiian fire dancer.
At CINCEL, we set up a lot of games. Bob & Teresa McKay really worked hard for the kids to have a lot of fun. At each game, they 'won' candy. There was bobbing for apples, go fish, sugar cookie decorating, bite a donut off a string, and coin tossing. Then, all of the older kids had some contests. The final contest was digging for M&M's and Skittles in a plate full of flour. They could only use their mouths. Here are some pictures of what they looked like
after the contest.
I think it looks like they had more flour than they did candy, but they had fun.
Then, on Friday, it was "Crazy Day" at their school. Chaz wanted to have a Mohawk. I don't know what happened to Chariti and Kaylee's hair, but it sure was crazy. Then, they turned their clothes inside-out, miss-matched, and wore different shoes. It was hilarious! I will try to put some more pictures of the kids on our website this week.
Just remember to laugh every now and then,
Charley
