Fall Fun






Fall here in Puerto Rico is a little different than what we are used to back in AL, but I will have to say that the other day I was sitting in the car as the sun was shining in the window and it was pretty refreshing (the a.c. was on full blast in the car, but still it was nice).

Today we had our first annual Harvest Party! It was so much fun. All of the kiddos and some adults dressed up and we had games, food, and fun in one of our neighborhood parks. We invited some local people and of course everyone on our team. It was a very full day, but the kids had a blast! Lydi dressed as a butterfly and Thomas wore a cute little onesie which you see in the pics above (in case you can't read it, the onesie said "this is my costume").

Finding costumes for them was a bit of a challenge since it was about 90 degrees here today. So, I had to get creative not wanting them to suffer from a heat stroke or dehydration! We ate way too much candy, and Lydi took a nasty spill on some steps, but all in all it was a great day. As I was saying good night to Lydi tonight, she looked up at me and said "go to party." I explained to her that we had been at the party all day, and that we should be so thankful for all the fun we were able to have! She says... "UH HUH!"

Thanks to all those that put so much effort into making this day happen, it was a blessing!
