Day Out with Friends

Today we had a GREAT time out with fellow missionary friends. The Garcias who are serving with ABWE in the northern part of Chile, have come down for a bit of R&R and to renew some fingerprints for an adoption from Haiti. (To read more about their family you can go to http://www.garcias2chile.blogspot.com/.) Since they are here for a few days we decided to get to know them better and make sure that the kids got to spend some time together. There were 6 kids and 3 adults in all. 3 Garcia kids, Eva, Isabel, and Owen with their mom, Stephanie, 1 Rogers girl, Andrea with her mom, Ruth Ann, and 2 Amundson kids, Caleb & Hannah, with me. First we went to the GOLDEN ARCHES for lunch. This is always a hit whether it's in the states or here. Then we left for the children's museum. (Ruth Ann had other errands to run due to one of her other daughters having her impacted wisdom teeth removed today.) WOW! Was it BUSY! I guess not the best idea to go to the children's museum during winter break from school. Oh well, it was good anyway. After the museum we took the kids for ice cream and then came back to our house where we were joined by Doug and Pedro, Stephanie's husband, for pizza. It was a truly GREAT day. Each kid had a buddy of sorts to play with and everyone basically got along. Tomorrow another adventure with some new missionaries so they can get acquainted with the city. YEEEHAH!
