Summer School Update #1

Well, we have officially made it here to "Summer School". We have a little time in between classes, so I thought I would post an update. I haven't taken as many pictures as I'd like, but I do have a few.

The kids have enjoyed their program so far. They really keep them busy. Caleb has gotten better with his class, though he still cries every now and then when I drop him off at the nursery. But he keeps getting better.

The food is not bad at the cafeteria. They actually had biscuits and gravy this morning! :) So, we are slowly plodding through our five weeks here. OK, now for some pictures.

We spent the night in a hotel on the way to the school. Here's Caleb playing with the a/c unit.

We stopped at the world's largest McDonald's on the way. It crosses over the interstate. Pretty cool.

Here is the view from inside the McDonald's.

Here is one of our dorm rooms. They're not too bad.

Josiah's birthday was yesterday the 19th. We had taken him on Sunday to Incredible Pizza (sorry no pics.). He had a great time. Here he is opening his present.

You can tell he really liked it.

The kids classroom is all done up in this pretend land called Mt. Jambo. Here is where their head tribal leader sits. Fun, huh?

This is where the kids "buy" snacks. And they actually have to barter for their goods just like they would have to in another country. They are really trying to give the kids a feel for what it will be like to live in another country. The kids love it.

The kids are broken up into tribes. These are their "tribal tents".

I'll try and update again maybe at the end of the week. So, until then...
