Saturday afternoon a small group of 8 came from the San Francisco Bay Area to work for the week. Being that it has rained non-stop for over a weeks, and the kids have not left the house once during that time either to play or to go to school (school gets cancled for rain here because everyone has to walk in it), my dad decided to take the group and all of the kids to Pizza Hut Sunday after church. He only told Karen, but not any of the kids, because he didn't want any of them to lose their priveledge of going. Therefore, the excitement that ensued Sunday after church was grand. Everyone hurried into the play area, very excited to finally do something but sit around the house. Shoes and jackets were everywhere; you would have thought they had never been in public. They did all bring their jackets to me when I asked though.
For the 32 people that were there, my dad ordered 10 pizzas. I know the kids all ate till they were ready to pop, but I am not sure how much they left for the group. Later, another surprise came. Huge ice cream sundaes. While the kids easily could share pizzas becuase they are already sliced, they were ravonous with the ice cream. Many kids were trying to tell me that they hadn't had any, but they were clearly lying because their entire face was covered in chocolate. It was fun to be with the kids in a place outside of the house. All of us had a bit of cabin fever and needed to get out of the walls of the house.
Haley too had much fun playing and eating her favorite foods, but that night by 6:00 she was so exhausted that she fell asleep in my arms. By that time, there were no lights anywhere in Ojojona, so walking back to our house and putting her to bed was quite a challenge.
I know 20 kids and a bunch of adults that had a great time on Sunday.
