Fun in May!

May Pics 2009

Here are some pictures of the things that kept us busy in the beginning of May. We enjoyed a Saturday morning at the beach. We want to enjoy that as much as possible because who knows if we'll ever live by the ocean again! Then we attended Kids for Kids Day - a fundraiser at a local school. We went with some friends and the kids had a blast! The rest are just photos of those "special moments" we want to capture and treasure forever.

Now for a few fun stories of things that have happened recently. We were eating breakfast the other day when Lucas asked, "Are there fruit guys in America?" This was followed by Alexis asking, "Do we use silverware in America?" It is so fun to teach kids about different cultures. We are often surprised by their questions but it gives amazing insight into how they think. I have to share about our experience the other day as we drove into downtown Dakar. We were on an on-ramp and the cars were all stopped in front of us. Dan asked me if I could see what the problem was. Yeah! Someone was actually stopped at the stop sign! That is a rare thing here. You could cause an accident if you stop at a stop sign. They are more of a colorful decoration that reminds you to look over your shoulder before continuing on. We will certainly have to check our driving habits upon re-entry to the U.S.!
