Saturdays are for Fun!

February 12, 2016 Posted by Keith Wight 2 Comments

T.G.I.F. Yeah, tomorrow is Saturday. Everyone loves the weekends and the kids at HATS are no different than their counterparts in North America in that regard. No school, a chance to hang out with friends and a change in the school day routine.

With the older kids, Joan and I will start the day with a canal walk. We are usually out for an hour and have 4 or 5 different 5km. routes we are trying.

After breakfast then it is laundry time for the older ones.

JJ is unclear on the concept…. Take Sonson’s clothes off first.

 

That’s better JJ and Moise

 

Leika hard at work

 

Josie and Karena are happy while they work

While the laundry is being done, the little ones just play. What a great life.

The local hangout

 

Markensen providing some boy power for Sonson and Sandra

 

Hang on Magdela – there’s going to be turbulence

 

What’s play time without snacks?? Right Markensen?

In the heat of the afternoon it’s time to hide in the shade. Whose turn is it to pick this afternoon’s video?

Everybody loves a video

After all the chores are done AND the afternoon heat has waned it’s time for some soccer or hockey or basketball or a canal walk with the little ones before suppertime and lights out.

Soccer time

Early to bed – tomorrow is church day.

It’s all about the kids…

    Sounds good to me, I love Saturdays there too! I usually get to make bread, date squares or tapioca etc. I especially love the early morning walks…don't need sweatshirts like the kids do! Enjoy your day.

    Thanks for the weekend report. It has been -10 for a few days here and I wish for a day in Haiti.
