Exploring
Sunday, December 13th, 2009submitted by: Kim Romero
We had a fun day today! We came back from San Marcos where we saw Chepe, Juan Pablo, and Gabriel graduate from BICA yesterday. We brought five kiddos with us - little Chepe, Chico, Juan, Edwin and Manuel. They spent the night watching Resident Evil (which I did NOT watch).
Today we went to church and a big group came up from San Marcos to see us. Last night late David told me Israel (Chavo) and his family were coming in the jeep, so I was thinking maybe 10 people max. Guess how many came…16! I don’t know how they all fit, or made it through the three hour drive. Well, I thought I might could manage a meal for 17 people (10 + 5 boys + me + David) with nothing but a two quart sauce pan, a crock pot, and a skillet, but not for 23! Luckily we have a new little restaurant next door and we fed 23 for about $45 - not bad!
Our neighbors are working to keep us from getting bored now that our house is empty, so they invited us to see their farm. It was beautiful. They had fields of strawberries, broccoli, carrots, and beans. They had a little raspberry plant and we got to pick fresh raspberries that were delicious. They also had cattle, deer, geese, and beautiful fields of flowers (huge sun flowers). It was a lot of fun to get to walk around and explore, but it was cold!
