"We had a fantastic time and it was a real feast. We went to our friend's house and we got to play with our friends while our parents talked to the adults. In the morning before we went we baked cookies and got ready to go. My favorite food that we had there was the cookies that we made and the pumkin pie with whipped cream someone else brought. That night we talked to our family on skype. I had a good time talking to our family." -C

"We had a real turkey. We had a good feast. My favorite was the rolls Aunt Crystal made and the turkey. My favorite part of the day was talking to our family on skype. I hope you had a great feast too!" -H

E enjoyed "helping" with the cookies (mostly the eating) and playing with her friends. She also enjoyed trying to get in front of the camera and wish everyone a "Happy Tanksgiving!" while we were skyping.

Afternoon in the village

"The village very unusual place then what we are used to. They keep baby goats in little houses. My favorite thing was to see the cotton field. I sat under a big tree with the kids and I got to take lots of pictures of them. They don't get their picture taken very much. I think they liked it. They smiled a lot." -C
"The village was very nice. It had nice people. The cotton was very pretty. The African kids were very nice and friendly. A lot of the girls had their brothers and sisters on their backs. I was really glad they gave us some peanuts to take home and make boiled peanuts. My favorite thing was getting to see the fields and animals." -H
E spent the afternoon entertaining the kids and chasing the animals. She had a ball!
