Play Date

Since it was suppose to be 70 degrees I organized a play date out front of warner in the big field at 2:00.  I sent everyone a text telling them of the plan.  We were walking out there to see if the kids could even play in the field.  There were a ton of Chinese people working in the field.  They were tearing out all the buses and trees and tearing all the grass up.  They were cutting the grass in strips, then rolling it, then throwing it in the back of a truck.  Luckily they were down far enough so our kids could play.  They kept getting closer to us all afternoon.  We were wondering what was going to happen when they got on top of us but the weather didn't allow that to happen.

At first it was just Carrasco's, Hindman''s, Wallace's, and Heidi.  But eventually there were around 20 adults and 20 kids.  All the adults brought snacks and just hung out chatting.  The kids were all over the place flying kites, blowing bubbles, playing dodgeball, playing in the dirt, etc.  They were all having a blast.

As the afternoon went on the wind picked up really bad.  Then suddenly at 4:00 the temperature dropped drastically and it looked like rain coming down the road.  It turned out to be dust but everyone scattered quickly.  It was pretty funny.  Although it wrecked our fun time.

Cameron was invited to spend the night at Carrasco's.  Fredy went to Shanghai for a race so Alfredo wanted to have all the boys (Hindman's too) over.  They ordered pizza and played.  Fun times.
