This afternoon we played with the kids in the lawn area we "rented" next door. Two hours cost 10 soles (3 soles is about one US dollar).
After the games we got ice-cream for all the kids (so much for the dental hygiene lectures!) from a local guy we saw pedaling by yesterday with whom we made arrangements with for today. He was thrilled! Most of the kids have had very little ice-cream, so Felicianna, the home director, said this is what they'd enjoy most.
We played volleyball, a little soccer but the big hit was a tag game where we rotated partners. At first the children were hesitant to play, but after seeing Randy Jenson (one of the men in our group) run as fast as he could, roll and tumble after a near grab, they all warmed up quickly! We played that for over an hour until the adults got too tired to continue!
Man, it was great seeing the kids laugh, play and giggle!
