Youth Day Activities at NDO

Today is yet another Zambian holiday! Youth Day. Complete with a huge parade in Choma and policemen on the street. We celebrated by playing games and snacking on cookies and kool aid.

Papa Wes finally has hair!

Water games.

 This was a relay race. There were two teams and the object was to lie down and have your team mate fill the bottle. Of course some were better at "hitting" the bottle than others. I am sure Darbi will post some of the "others".

 Darbi and the children watching in anticipation.

The "CREW" 

We also played volley ball with bed sheets and water balloons and had a relay race where you put your head on a bat...spin 5X and TRY to run to the other end, dress in the clothes waiting for you, get cleared by the "judge"  (Mrs Dianna) and run back. Did the egg toss with...you guessed it...water balloons.  And of course a massive water fight at the end! Most valuable lesson learned:  I can NOT run after spinning 5X with my head on a bat. Thanks Laurie for keeping me from totally crashing.

We played soccer with the kids yesterday afternoon and after today the adults are pretty much

 D-O-N-E. The maguas anyway.

Check out Darbie and Laurie's blog for more pics. I have a pretty good one of Darbi on FB also.

 

We actually do work! The second house for the children is almost finished thanks to:

The Texas Team
