Father's Day Celebration

We went to Kiri Dam for a short hike and picnic lunch for Father's Day.  It was a beautiful drive through many villages.

We drove across the dam and parked our car at the base of the mountain (really a hill if you compare it to NH mountains.)

When we were looking through the pictures, Emma said this is her favorite part of the hike...having a swim and coke at the Club afterwards.

Last few weeks in Nigeria

Last week we drove out of Yola into the hills for a happy hour.  We watched a storm roll in.

On the last day of school the girls had a spelling bee and then pool party. Emma was the spelling champ for her class.  She felt quite proud.

Harv helped make pizzas for the classes that won the most books read during the summer session.  Emma's class read over 300 books in 5 weeks!  After pizza, the girls showed off their swimming skills in the big pool.  Everyone can't believe how Addie has no fear and can swim the whole length of the pool.

Here is our Yola grill/fire pit.

Cultural Day at Community School

We had a cultural celebration at the Community School yesterday. It was a day filled with dancing, food, and songs from various cultures.  We discovered that Addie loves to be on stage.  She wouldn't give the microphone up...she loved it!

Emma talked about the British culture...they eat fish and chips and say "Thanks Mate".  We have it all on video to share when we get home.  It was priceless!!

Here is our friend, Maryam representing the Fulani culture with a dance.
