(My other favorite quote from the experience was when I told him to not eat the vinegar. His reply was "Why not?? Jesus did!")
Also in school we studied China last week (the birthplace of cousin Grace), and this week we're learning about Japan (the birthplace of Auntie Keiko)! Obviously, these are very good "food" weeks! Here are the Chinese lanterns we made last week...
And speaking of things up in the air... Here are the mobiles we made yesterday for St. Patty's Day:
.... and here is the "egg hunt" the kids went to over the weekend!
This helicopter apparently dropped 20,000 eggs or something crazy like that, and then a mob of kids (and adults-- pathetic) went racing into the field to get them. When the kids got back home, the first thing Strider said to me was, "That was INSANITY." But he also had a big grin, of course.
Big things have been happening this past week in the lives of some of our friends... some really good, some really hard. I've been feeling the depth of life more keenly this week.... so while our little adventures are pretty simple and ordinary, I find myself being very thankful for them.
Needless to say, it was a big hit with all 3 of them. As Strider exclaimed afterwards, "That was an Adventure!"
