Cottage 4 √

Not only is cottage 4 done, but cottage 3 is done too!

When we left yesterday, all that was left was the high parts of Cottage 4 and the high windows of cottage 3. Thanks to Leonard and Renee, who worked while the rest of us had field day with the kids, both cottages were complete. I can't post pictures because my camera is packed to go home, but I will post them when I return to Atlanta.




The finished Cottage 4 (AKA Wheeler's Cottage!)!









While we tie-dyed, Leonard and Renee finished up Cottages 3 and 4 for us.




Speaking of field day (sort of), the kids had a GREAT time. The tie-dye was loved by all, and even though the shirts dried "crunchy" because of the salt, the color took extremely well. Each child was allowed to pick 2 colors between Verde, Rojo, Azul y Morado (aka Green, Red, Blue, and Purple). They all laughed when John and Casey did the Cha Cha Slide and tried to learn it. The Easter Egg Hunt was a big hit, and was interesting to see the kids helping each other to find the eggs. Each child was allowed to find four eggs, and they got onto each other (ok really just Fredrico) if they got more than the allotted four eggs, but if they saw a child had only 2 eggs, they would either help them find more eggs, or share theirs.

As a surprise to Wheeler yesterday, Cottage 4 was dedicated to him at 2:00 for his service to the LAMB institute and his dedication to being Grandpa to all of the children. A plaque has been made, and right before the children move in the plaque will be hung inside. The children should begin moving into cottage 4 in 2 weeks! The final touches are being put on the building, like the ceiling fans that our group carried down in suitcases!

The children's program was both entertaining and surprising as you see all of the talents the kids have. I have video and that about sums up that entire program!

Last night, the adults once again took over the dinner line and the table. The kids had to actually sit and have an intelligent conversation with us.....sort of.

We are coming home on Saturday, so we need to get this packin' ball rollin.

Signing off from Honduras.
