I am a little slow in posting, but the two summer volunteers from Notre Dame arrived for their two months. They are Bianca (left) and Megan (right) in the first photo. We took the older kids for the walk up the mountainside to the Coca Cola sign. It is about an hour and a half walk up, it is walking on a paved road although fairly steep grade. It is a nice view of the city from up there. The kids had a good time, something to do and get away from the casa.
Schools have all been closed for the past two weeks due to the flu. They were worried the swine flu was spreading here like in Mexico and the U.S., but most of the flu cases are a different strain of the flu. To protect the kids, we have not allowed any visitors for the past two weeks and the kids have had to stay in their respective casas rather than visiting each other. It has worked so far as several of the younger kids have had cold/flu but none in our house.
It has been both boring and pull you hair out nerve racking at the same time. I did not realize how much time I spent in the main casa with the little kids until we were not permitted to go over there. Our house has been like having a two week long snow day or hurricane day where the kids are home from school and can't leave. Kids get on each others nerves and argue and always pull me into the middle of it. Probably my mom's revenge for my sister and I as kids.
