This afternoon wasn't as hot as normal so Katherine and I decided it was the perfect day to surprise the kiddos with an outing! Once we arrived in the village we let them know that we would be taking them on a walk. They instantly got SUPER excited and rushed off to bathe and find clothes and sandals for the trip. After everyone was dressed we started the walk to campus so everyone could play on the playground. The children who are in school have played on the playground before but this was a huge first for all the younger kids. I'm sure everyone that passed us on the road thought we were crazy- it isn't everyday you pass a couple white girls and their 14 children. Watching the kids discover something completely new was so much fun. They were simply able to play which allowed their personalities to shine. I considered the event a huge success because we didn't loose any of the kids and were able to return all the children to their parents safely. Katherine said it was literally like herding cats all the while repeatedly doing head counts to 14. And the kids have already asked about visiting the playground again tomorrow so clearly they approved of the adventure!
