Dear Parents,
We have had a very sunny weekend and today (Tuesday) is windy and
cool. Six moms will be arriving soon for the week long mother's
working visit. Mrs. Seabrooke will be very busy for sure.
The boys' house had a great time on Monday when they headed to the
beautiful beach of Playa Grande. The sun was hot and the boys had a
blast. They then went to the place called Laguna Du Du where they
then jumped off cliffs into the fresh water. It is freezing cold
water for sure. UGH. Anyway, it was nice to get all the salt water
out of their suits and off their bodies. They then ate pizza, and
headed home. On Sunday afternoon they again played ping pong,
basketball, soccer and football. They got a lot of exercise.
The girls' house on Monday did a full day of planting seedling trees
(I hope that is the right term for this) by mixing soils, and placing
the seedlings into small bags. These are baby fruit trees. They
then went out to eat at Gilberto's chicken stand…If you have never had
Gilberto's well you really have missed out. It is excellent and could
put Colonel Chicken Fried to shame. Then on Sunday they enjoyed
tossing the football and they also set up the volleyball net, though
they never actually played volleyball. We are hoping that will change
soon.
I am asking for photos from the beach and also from the girls' last
out freeday and when I get them I will post them for your viewing
enjoyment.
