After breakfast, we did a yard clean up and put up some decorations in anticipation of their arrival. We were so excited to have them come - to meet the children and to treat the workers to some special surprises.
 |
| While we waited, some of the team practiced their skipping skills. |
 |
| The trampoline was a big hit...we had to limit to 4 kids at a time. |
 |
| Normally, graffiti is a bad thing...but not in this case. Rick, in particular, was thrilled to have the children use sidewalk chalk ALL over the walls of the orphanage. |
 |
| Sam "took one for the team" in the soccer game |
 |
| Lisa won over a sweet young man |

| Lisa eating a Mexican corn treat with a little girl that lost her first tooth!! | (the corn is a typical food here - they spread mayonnaise on a cob and then chili powder. Not bad!) |
 |
| The man in the pic is Juan - who helps out here at Casa P. His family travels around sharing their musical talents. They treated us to a few songs. |
 |
| We handed out stuffed animals to the kids before they left |
 |
| Tommy made a buddy - he wouldn't leave his side |
 |
| We taught them the "Hokey Pokey" (and then had to sing it at least 6 different times throughout the day) |
 |
| Taylor getting ready to hand out some watermelon |
 |
| Anna colouring with the kids |
 |
| Lisa giving a pedicure to one of the hardworking "house moms" at the orphanage. (we treated each of the house moms to a pedicure, manicure and shoulder massage) |

| A group shot - team iam1ru Mexico with the Burseys and the Bethany crew |
