Kids visit! We picked up the usual "take to church" gang on Wednesday morning and brought them into the city and to our apartment. That is back row: Leni, Gregory and Carlos. Front row: Pamela, Cati, and Eliana.
I didn't realize how small William's girls are until these normal size girls started going to church with us. Pamela is five and taller than Eliana who is ten. We will always love these kids and hope that some day we get to see them again. They wanted to come to our apartment before we went to the park. Leni was fascinated with the keyboard and spent most of her time here with song settings that played by themselves and she would pretend she was playing - pretty funny. She had never seen anything like a keyboard. Eliana wanted to exercise with my Richard Simmons video - she never missed a step. The boys spent lots of their time looking out the window with the binoculars.
Then we went to the park across from the temple that they have spent a fortune redoing. None of the kid's stuff is finished yet but they do have a big area filled with exercise machines of different kinds.
Scott has decided he needs to go every day to work out so he can regain some arm strength!
The pictures of the kids working out won't load for some reason.
Then we went across the street to the temple grounds where there is all kinds of beautiful lawn. The kids were in heaven just having somewhere to run and play.
Then of course the girls wanted their pictures taken (this is the typical Dominican pose)
Then it was time for lunch so we headed for McDonalds. These kids love french fries!
Making sugar cookies was fairly disastrous, but they did have fun. The dough was too soft and by the time we added enough flour so they could cut them out - and with the girls that was a lot - they tasted awful. But all in all they had a great time.
Then it was time to take them back home because we had two lessons in Las Caobas.
In the elevator with their "delicious" cookies - ready to head back home.
We didn't even have time to paint nails. All in all it was precious time that we got to spend with them! We are so grateful for their being a part of our lives here.
