My parents were here to visit last week. They were supposed to arrive on Saturday, but after their flight was canceled two days in a row (due to weather in Texas) they finally landed in Teguc on Monday. We didn't waste any time and jam packed each day full of activities. It was my mom's first time to Honduras, so we wanted to make sure that she could experience as much as possible in her 7 days here. One of the highlights of their trip was an art project we made with some of the girls from the orphanage. Last year a friend donated some 5 X 7 colored foam sheets along with adhesive foam cut out letters, so we decided this would be the perfect chance to put them to use. We figured we had enough materials for about 35 girls, divided into two seperate classes. So after setting up the tables and sorting out the materials, Greg and I, along with my mom and dad and a couple of the older kids set out to help the 5 - 12 year olds make the craft! Each partcipant would get a foam sheet to put their name and picture on, and add a personal touch with stickers and funky pattern edging scissors. We tried to control things the best we could, but it sure was hilarious when we were distributing the stickers. I would cut the sheets up so each girl would get 10 - 15, and then the others would give out one to each participant to add to their project. Well, my mom thought she was going crazy for a minute after she realized she had given several sheets to the same girls. They kept insisting that they didn't receive any, so my mom would continue to give them more. She caught on to their tactics, and called me over to help. One of the girls claimed she didn't get any, but when she stood up, I saw a sheet of stickers poking out of the top of her pocket! My mom and I started cracking up! The tricky little girls were busted! We all got a good laugh out of it! Toward the end, things got a little chaotic, yet still really fun. We were all impressed with how they were all helping each other. Especially the older ones assisting the younger ones. They really are one big family! We all had a great time and enjoyed the time we got to spend together! The girls were proud of their hard work, and the crafts turned out so nice!
