Birthdays and Cuddling!
So I've been at Agape a couple days now and I've already taken about 200 pictures. I can only imagine how many pictures I will come home with. We celebrated a birthday last night at our house. Nabu turned 10 and she brought over her brother, Boy, and two friends from Agape Nahseesee and Mbalani. We took them to the grocery store to pick out what they wanted for dinner. They were so excited to be out in public it was hysterical! It was so fun seeing them outside of Agape and how differently they acted. They settled on pasta for dinner and a big chocolate cake for dessert. We got them back to our house and they wanted to go swimming right away and it was sooooo cold. They jumped right in anyways. They swam for awhile and then went into the bath to warm up. I have great pictures of this that I will try and post. We ate dinner and they ate A LOT! Boy was so funny all night. After dinner we cleaned while they watched Mr. Bean on t.v. We finally got the cake which they had been asking for for awhile. It was a very good night and they all went home at 8 happy and full. This morning at Agape was nice. The kids are used to us and all they want to do is cuddle and play. We are having a great time so far. This weekend we are going whale and dolphin watching and I'm going shark diving with another girl!!! YIkes I'll definitely upload those pictures next week. That's all for now....talk to everyone soon!
