For the seventh straight day it has rained without ceasing. It is so damp and cold. In the 72 hours that were Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it rained 13" There was no school Friday or today. The children are inside day and night. They need to play.
Team California arrived Saturday morning. Marc decided on Saturday afternoon that Team California needed to get to know the children of Casa de Esperanza. After church Sunday we loaded the van and took everyone to Pizza Hut. The Pizza Hut here has a great big indoor playground. The kids ran and played and screamed and had a great time. Marc ordered 10 large pizzas. Antonio ate 9 pieces. He was so proud of himself. Others ate a lot, too. And I am sure there was a lot of wet beds this morning. Reina went around and finished everyone's soda. I didn't know that until after we got home. There was a huge amount of soda consumed by all of the kids.
If that wasn't enough, Marc then ordered 10 of those super large ice cream sundaes. The kind that four or five people can share one. I didn't see any ice cream left either. After we pizzaed and sodaed and ice creamed them up good, we took them back to Casa. The power was out from 4:30 until 11:30. I really feel sorry for the staff on duty, having to deal with the kids after having that much sugar. And in the dark, too.
The kids did burn up a lot of stored energy. And ate too much. And had a great time. The adults had a good time, too. I know I did.
