What a week!

We have worked and played hard this week with the kiddos. Tuesday, we took a bunch of the kids to the City Forest for a picnic and to play. The forest has lots of play structures and swings, as well as soccer fields and wildlife areas. And by that I really do mean WILD life! Aside from the normal iguanas and turtles, they have some animal cages that house deer, boars, a jaguar and other various wild cats. Here are some of my favorite photos from that day:











Then on Thursday, we helped some of the families in the community by painting their houses! Painting concrete is difficult in itself, but with layers and layers of paint on top, we had to scrape a lot off because the rollers would just peel the old paint off. The kids had fun painting and we gave a family a freshly painted house! (Hopefully they like it, too!)
