Ahhh! August Vacation in El Salvador! The schools, banks and government offices close for the week and all the kiddos and families hit the pool or the beach! We are in the middle of vacation and have planned a lot of fun events with the children here. On Monday we went to the beach about an hour away. We rented a house for the day and the kids enjoyed the beach, the pool, volleyball, s'mores, hotdogs and a slumber party. Tuesday was a big trip to Pizza Hut...and not just any ol' Pizza Hut, a totally decked out one with jumbo playgrounds and much more. The perfect place for 20+ kids! Wednesday - a day of scrapbooking and other crafts. Thursday we are going hiking through some waterfalls and Friday is the fair! I'll have to report back to you what Salvadoran fair food is like....hmmmm..... :) The nice break in routine is great for all of us. It's nice to spend some fun time with the kids instead of the hustle and bustle of getting homework, chores, laundry and etc. done. My favorite moment this week was the simplicity of swimming with Chamba in the pool. I carried him back and forth for many laps, jumping up and down, while he smiled and played with the toy torpedo. His smile reminds me of an alligator because when he opens his mouth you can see every last one of his teeth. It's such a delight to kick back and enjoy one on one time like that. We also braved some waves together. Chamba isn't old enough to go in the water but he did muster up some courage to stand at the shore and jump some waves with my help. Lots more fun to come during the vacation week! Adios!
