Hey hey hey!
What a great start to the day! an whole hour extra lie in bed! This meant that breakfast was at 7:30, and we left at 8. We headed straight to the nursery, and got stuck in with playing and teaching (Mr Jones was learning!) with the children. The builders were there, and continuing plastering the corridors and classrooms. Emilie and Me (Ellie) repainted the sign outside whilst the rest of us were either shopping (buying rice and maize for local families) or having fun with the little ones.
Before we knew it, it was lunchtime, so we headed back to the Academy where another delicious meal was waiting for us. We played with the children from the school, and continued building our friendships. After lunch, we didn't head back to the nursery, as we would get in the builders way, so we went to the Moorings floating restaurant on the river. The weather was beautiful, so some of us sunbathed whilst we sat outside enjoying the view. Afterwards, we headed back to the hotel, for some well earned chillax!
Ellie King and Jack Hall!
P.S Ellie and Rahi took the photos today, that is why they are so much better than usual (stink on Mr Jones!)

Hey everyone, once again it looks like u had a great day, I wish u had some more photos on the blog cause i keep seeing the same people. I miss u ,keep up the good work ,love Chloe xxx
ReplyDeleteThink you are all doing a brilliant job out there, the kids at the Academy really look as if they are loving you being with them. Sad news for Emily S though, Uncle David was amazed how much like Mum you look (Not sure if he noticed you were feeding a giraffe!?)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, look after youselves, and hopefully by day 7 that Jack fella has eventually got round to 2nd toothbrush session??
Another exciting day, brilliant photos. I think I've seen everyone from brocko, including all the teachers! I can see that you're all getting the most from the visit. Jamie, White shorts for mixing concrete? I hope you're loving it all. Looked like a great game of catch!
ReplyDeleteAlex & Roo. Love ya loads
Hi all, fab' pictures Ellie and Rahi, love the ones with you guys interacting with the children, it all looks such fun. Can see why you all stopped of at The Moorings -

ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely fantastic!! I hope you're enjoying every minute. Mum's doing really well so no worries there. It's very very quiet at home without you!
LOL Aunty Sal
Hi everyone, love the pics again. You all look so much more at ease with yourselves and the people you are meeting,and clearly having a great time. You've worked hard for it so make the most of it.
ReplyDeleteJack H-hope your hand is ok. Judging by the way you were jumping for the ball and slopping water everywhere it seems to be bearing up. Monkeys are good but very expensive shiny things are even better so keep trying! We've bathed Stewie today and he's like a snowy owl again so don't worry about your bed. Mr Toothbrush might need to pay another visit again soon! Ask Callum for advice re hand washing-you might be able to figure it out between you-if not maybe try Kenya Daddy!
Love you lots and lots
Mum and dad xxxxx
