Those Golden Arches

Last Friday the primary class took a field trip to visit the golden arches.

That's right; McDonalds.

      9 kids
     4 wheel chairs
     3 Baker boys
     8 adults
  + 2 vans                        
     1 crazy fun adventure


Upon arrival, we realized that there is a flight of stairs to get in the restaurant.  With no accessible entrance, we ditched unloading the chairs and instead carried them up the stairs and to a table.  The combination of foreigners and kids with disabilities created quite an attraction to the locals.  It was seriously a blast and one of my favorite memories so far!

*Precious moment: Grady paused to bow his head and silently thank Him for his food prior to eating.  Oh my goodness, how these kids daily bless me! (there is a video here)

Cheers and applause erupted from the gleeful faces of the children when the food came out.  All of the boys ate 2 whole meals and everyone got to enjoy a mini ice cream cone for dessert.  Now, I'm not the biggest fan of MickeyD's back home but for some reason it tastes SO much better here! 

The first week in October is a holiday here to celebrate National Day.  All of the local staff is off work (minus the nannies of course) so things have been pretty quiet around here.   

Tuesday marked the half way point of being here which is really bittersweet, 40 days in to this 80 day journey! 

I apologize the updates have been sparse, the internet is slow and unstable.  Check my facebook or the SFCV page for more pictures.  

Grace & Peace,
