Shoe Tying, and Human Rights, oh and bowling.
Saturday, January 22, 2011 by Team C
Finally caught up. I don't think I have left any event out. For those of you few who check our blog. You can't say I'm behind on my blog now!! MLK day some of Lindseys friends and I went to the Red Cross for a Human Rights Day. They had War refugees there. 5 boys from Kenya. They learned about what rights were important to them, and then they had to build on paper a refugee camp. It was a very interesting experience. One of the boys has never seen some of his siblings, and his father was killed when he was 5. They lived in a refugee camp for a time, and then their families were moved here. They have been here for about 7 years. The interesting thing was even though they left their own countries when they were 10, they don't remember much about them at a ll. Wonder if it is from the trauma.
We all got awesome backpacks for going, and they had to show them off!
Paity ties her own shoes. I'm so glad and so sad at the same time.
She is so proud of herself. We had to go visit Wade at work just to show him what she could do.
Last Saturday, we went bowling. We had a great time, not! The kids fought, and argued, and
Lindsey resented the fact that Dad would try to help her bowl correctly. Imagine!!Can you tell? Aw, teenagers.
Brett was pretty good, they had fun after awhile
We got a Michael Jackson wii dance game for Christmas. Since then, Brett has moonwalked everywhere we go.
The sun is shining, and kids are getting happier!! :)
Paityn loved her bowling shoes. What a cool thing, you get shoes when you come here?

Love that we're finally getting all these updates. :) And the picture of Lindsey and Wade bowling made me laugh. I'm excited for February and the Michael Jackson dancing. :)
