Weekend Wrap Up

It's Monday again, and today is holiday in Colombia, so the girls are out of school!  Of course, they don't get the American Labor Day holiday, so we will just call it an even trade :).

We had our our teammates, Ross and Angela Floyd, stay with us for the weekend through today (and possibly tomorrow).  Friday, I cooked dinner here for us. Saturday, we went to the mall and to a few other stores.  It doesn't take long to get tired here with the walking and public transportation.  Angela and I made our way back home a lot earlier than the guys did!  A friend of mine made some awesome book covers for the girls and brought those over Saturday evening.  She stayed with her kids and we had a fancy dinner of leftovers and hot dogs!!  Sunday, we went to church and had lunch at home. Sunday evening, Brook went to a Colombian birthday party of a classmate.  She had fun and it was good for her to be with friends outside of school.  Today, we plan on flying kites, because it is kite month in Bogota!  So now for some photos......

We've had a fair amount of rain lately, which means beautiful rainbows where we can see most of the entire rainbow!
Ross and Avery found a Huey video on tv on VH1.  You know I love Huey music and it was even fun seeing the subtitles of the lyrics.

These are the cute book covers for the girls.  They are made out of oil cloth.

Chocolate covered fruit....yum!

Where there are Colombians, there is dancing!

The little girl was so cute to watch dance!  The lady to the right of the photo is Brook's art teacher and the mother of the birthday girl, who is also in Brook's school class. 

A little blurry, but they had fun things for a photo opportunity!

All in all, it was a good weekend and was fun for us to have friends to share it with.  The girls have also enjoyed their first weekend after being in school.  They will come and go too fast for them.

Happy Monday!
