February 14 update from Natalie:
We started swimming this week in a pool a little down the road from the Aldea. The kids LOVED it! Not that many of them know how to swim though so it’s a good thing the pool only gets about 4 feet deep. I taught a few of them how to swim, and they were actually doing pretty good for a first lesson. Victor liked to show off his new skills but Ruben was embarrassed and didn’t want people to watch him practice at the beginning but by the end was doing great and was showing off too. It was really cute. We put a huge log in the pool and all the kids tried to stand up on it but because there were about 10 kids on it at a time it was really wobbly which made it way funny. At first they could hardly get on the log but by the end most of them could stand up and even stay up for a few seconds. The kids have decided that every day we don't go to the pool we're going to have a water fight. Victor and Jose taunt me all day saying their going to soak me, it's a nice little rivalry.
To sum it up we better not plan on ever being dry during February.
