When we arrived the kids were so stoked to see us. Chris and the girls have been going there since they had arrived in July. They have gotten to know most of the kids and the kids are in love with them. I hope that by the time I leave that I will know the children at Sister Freda’s like they do. We were there to take the 8 babies that live with them to the pool. It was hilarious to watch these kids in the baby pool. They loved to jump off the edge into areas where their feet came nowhere close to the bottom of the pool. They were the happiest little kids I have met. Just a simple activity as going to the pool put the biggest smile on their faces. It reminded me that life does not have to be packed with such big or expensive activities. The simple life brings just as much if not more joy in our lives. These 8 kids will live at Sister Freda’s house until they are old enough to go out alone. I will look forward to going back there. After we swam in the pool for a while we at french fries, or chips as they call it here. Again these kids were so stoked. I mean, who wouldn’t? A plate full or fries at the age of 3? I mean come on. That’s heaven if you are that age. What the heck, its heaven for me and I’m 23 years old. Don’t laugh at me. Fries are my most favorite food in the world. Just ask Sarah. I miss her. I mean….. just ask her she will know.
Look at this little girl name dotty, she seriously weighed about 10 pounds. So tiny. She fell asleep in my arms on the way to the pool. It was precious.
Here are the kids that go to school and that live and Sister Freda’s…
