Hi loving parents because i know thats the only people that are reading this ha. Anywayz this is Georgia (the guatemalan boy catcher) and Waller (the baller).
Today was a freaking incredible day. We got up at a fantastic 8:30. Yet we were still just as reluctant to get out of bed. shocking i know. We had pancakes for breakfast, which tasted fantastic. Not quite up to the breakfast tamales though. After the lovely breakfast, we headed off to Betty’s school (Precious Moments). Fun Fact: Guatemalan 5th and 6th graders could kick our drumline’s tail. Any who, as we walked into Betty’s school, our hearts and eyes were opened to how blessed we are. Their playground was about as big as a small bedroom. Their entire school was a 3 room house. Yet the approximately 180 kids were the most gracious and loving people. As we walked further into the school, we were swarmed with 3 to 5 year olds. Just the simple hug we would give them brought so much joy which could not be equalled to any materialistic gift we could ever give them. As you can see we were really touched by them today.
After we had a basketball clinic of extremely disorganized games as a result of the slight communication barrier, the kids from Precious Moments made us the cutest little dolls out of wooden spoons and cloth then leading to a sick nasty drum line performance. It was extremely memorable. Fun Fact: Peppers hurt worse coming out then going in (compliments to Betty). Our next stop for lunch was Pollo Campero, which was completely ballin. We all got some form of chicken hence the name. The best part was probably the ice cream sundaes and the fact that everyone in the entire restaurant stared at us the whole meal.
Next we made our way to the HIV orphanage. The journey to the orphanage was so beautiful we had to stop and take junya and senya pics. When we arrived we were greeted by smiling friendly faces and lots and lots of hugs. We then proceeded to the baby room where we loved on tiny chillin and made some buddies. After we had our baby time we went to the playground and passed out our little gifts and love on some more chillins. Courtney, making the mistake of setting her bookbag full of gifts on the ground, was bombarded with tons of hyper kids in need of toys. It was priceless. After the gifts were passed out and some of the kids stopped asking we had a delicious grilled chicken dinner prepared by the best, Clint and Adam. The kids loved it so much, some of them even chewed up and ate the bones. After we cleaned up and said our sad good-byes we set off back down the mountain. The car ride consisted of deep thought and harmonious melodies. Fun Fact: Ann Hilton drank the equivalent of a six pack......of coke and Morgan ate 34 pixie sticks.... Anyways, we hit up the McDonalds here in Guate and everyone was in awe of the sophistication of the luxurious dessert bar and cafe. (Yes I took pictures, I am Waller) This day concluded with weird convos, awkward side comments, and cards. This is Georgia the guatemala boy slayer and Waller the baller signing off, thank you and goodnight!!! ;)
Morgan's DCOTW: yet still 4 (sadness)
