Food Fest



Our kids participate in all school activities, thus they participated in the annual Arequipa Day celebration At school every class shared a traditional meal,so of course Lizet was in the middle of it all getting a kick out of her classmate explaining how the cuy (guinea pig) is prepared. As testers/judges, Padre and Vicki tasted EVERY DISH and, by God's Grace lived to tell about it!!

Restaurant


One of the nice things the teams usually do is go out to dinner and invite the leadership of the church involved. In this case Padre Juan Carlos and Deacon Maria. Hmm...What looks good to you??

Memories



As a remembrance of their visit, the Roof Dogs received a personal painting from Sagrada familia. San Jose gave them each an alpaca scarf.

Dances






Of course we had to end the park day with some exotic dances. Peruvians are really steeped in their cultural dances and do an awesome job. Our kids had worked hard on their presentations.

Pillow Case Race


This went pretty well after the kids figured out what they were supposed to do. We did, however, lose a Roof Dog or two along the way!

Presentation



After lunch the girls presented their puppet show about the good Samaritan. Here are some of the stars in the presentation.

Texas Shirts!!



We had special shirts for the park day. (Of course they ALSO helped us keep up with everyone!! It was a challenge! We had a great pavillion for shade at lunchtime. It was a sunny day.
