Pool Day

Yesterday was pool day! I have some good news to go along with it...We went to the hospital to pick up the kids to take them to the pool, but we found out that we were going to be a few kids short. Esther and Joyce, the 2 oldest girls, were sponsored and would be at school. We were sad they wouldn't be joining us, but it didn't compare to how happy we were to see them go to school.

Once we loaded up the kids we were off to the Kitale Club for swimming

I call this one "Dottie the refugee"


These kids love to stick their tongues out...notice a pattern?




Again with the tongue


Mine and Moses' feet, I'll give you one guess...


Morgans a born poser



Look at my little man


Im sorry he's just too dang cute


After the pool we dropped the kids back off at the hospitale and put them to bed for their afternoon nap. Richard had to take Freda's mom back to her home in Kiminnini, which is about a 20 min drive out of town, then 30 min off the main road. I had never been there before so we just went with him. Im glad we did. It was a fun little adventure and I got to see another part of Kenya I'd never been to before...

Richard was explaining how they build houses in her area. He said first they make the structure out of wood, like this, then fill it in with mud and then once that has dried, you plaster the outside with cow dung
