Happy Canada Day!!!
We had one great day here yesterday. We invited many of our
new friends and acquaintances to come and celebrate Canada’s 145th
birthday with us. We spent the morning making cookies, brownies, meatballs,
fried rice, pizza, tomato salsa, mango salsa, and guacamole. It was pretty
interesting watching people eat as many of them did not get that the salsas
were for dipping nachos in, or that you could eat the meatballs all by
themselves. We had some rather entertaining rounds of “pin the tail on the
zebra,” and dodge ball, and the water balloon toss, three-legged race, yoga
session, and Frisbee were all big hits too. The nuns were probably the funniest,
and they really got in on all of the action.
It was great to see everyone smiling and having fun and for
the Canadians it was a good reminder of how lucky we are to call Canada home.
For those of you that follow the news, there have been a number of ‘incidents’
as we’ll call them in Kenya over the last week that really make you appreciate
the safety of our country.
To finish our day off we made s’mores over our gas stove (the
marshmallows we found were actually pretty good) and imagined that we were at
home sitting around a campfire!
We have a busy week planned… our last two “Champs” sessions
and a couple of school visits. Tuesday is officially our halfway point and we
have booked another safari this weekend to celebrate. We are all really looking
forward to getting away for a few days.
