Yes, I am honored to blog for Amy :)
Today Amy, Sheila, and I had the delight of playing the 'parents' of about 20 kids at a 6th grade graduation party- hosted by their teacher. (Correction: Amy played the parent, Sheila played the girl who can slightly communicate with the kids, and I am the one who can merely smile, nod my head, and say 'si!')
The afternoon's expectations were to pick up ALL the students in the 15 passenger CVE van, then watch the kids swim for a few hours. We did have quite a full van, but it turns out the kids can swim for days in MX and not stop!
Although my communication skills are nearly nada, it was fun to sit and watch the kids play together for hours and not get bored for a second- the teacher was even caught up in the fun, with no thought of passing time...
By the end of the day, Ames and Sheila had both fell victims to the kid's desire to be joined in the pool.. note: sitting on the Other side of the fence while reading a book keeps a person out of the pool. :)
Michelle and a few of her classmates enjoying the pool
Sheila and I relaxing beside the pool and trying to stay as cool as possible- yes, an impossible task in the MX heat! I believe Sheila thinks she has both staying cool and being the inconspicuous American mastered with the straw hat. :)
One of the other activities available for the kids: trampolines. Uriel is quite the athlete, working on mastering his flips..
No party is complete without snacks! Lili and her friends take a break from swimming to eat... although Lili seems to be the only one enjoying the food..
The boys impressing the girls with their strength..
At the end of the pool party before departure. Yes, this pic was taken at 9:00 pm :)
Overall, a wonderful day spent in the hot sun with great company!!
Signing off,
Heather
