yesterday we cancelled all plans and stayed home because so many in the house are sick with a horrible cold/cough/fever. it was sad. but it was OK because we had had 3 days full of doing a kids camp. tons of fun! just a little tiring. :)
today we hung out at an orphanage for those with special needs. they
were mainly in their 20s and older i think - hard to tell though. it was great! as soon as they started walking into the room,
their faces lit up and they trampled us with hugs!!!! they give the
best hugs, too!! so tight and they hold on forever!! we led a bunch
of songs with actions and did a couple kid skits and then we just had
hang out time - which mainly consisted of them hanging on us and
jumping into our arms (though most were too big to hold - they managed
to jump into our arms anyway!) and pulling on us to take their picture
(they were enthralled with the camera!!).
in the afternoon we did a program at a retirement home. that went
well too. it was sooo good to be out and doing things today after us
all being couped up inside yesterday!!
today Edgars drove us to the places we went. a lot of the roads were snow covered and we slid around the corners. as many of you can imagine, aunt jen needed to go into her happy place. so i pulled my beanie over my eyes and put Braddigan & Jack Johnson on my ipod and imagined myself in the Keys, in Fort Lauderdale @ the beach, and in the Dominican surfing. happy place.
herring for breakfast yesterday. that is the craziest thing ive gotten to eat so far on outreach. it was really good!
