Wicked awesome Day!

Today Nikki and I went out to Arroyo Seco; one of the villages that we have worked in with Hero Holiday the past few years. Although we are not working with a group out there right now, we love going to visit the kids and their families. So today with some colouring materials, Spanish books, and a soccar ball we headed out to spend the afternoon.


As soon as we got off the moto, we had a bunch of kids running toward us. They were so excited to see us, just as we were to them.


All we had to do was walk down the road and eventually had a crowd of kids walking with us. We stopped at one house, where we know the family well. There are two girls, Jessica (a close friend of mine), and Tata (a close friend of Nikki's)who live there. Jessica is 15 and Tata is 10. Jessica babysits a 2 year old little girl who is SUPER cute. I knew her a little bit last year, but this year she has completely clung to me every time we are there.

This is the fourth year that I have been able to be in Arroyo Seco, and so I can pretty much recognize everyone who lives there. What I love is that each year we go back, all the kids have grown so much, and I love that we are able to watch them grow up.

We had one of the kids Dad's drive us back into town on his moto...everyone takes such good care of us out there. We had a wonderful day, and plan on going back this week.
