The best deal in town...

I took the kids to the Court Club last night because Ben had his last softball game and Lilly has been asking to take Marta to the Cheerleading class since we got home. So away we went... Marta and Lilly to Cheerleading, Danny and Jacob to Dodgeball, Addy to the nursery, and Joseph to the "Starcade". They all had a great time and were sad when it was time to go!



Last week when Ben took the kids to the Court Club he decided he would give the kids a lesson in Foosball in the "Starcade" Room. He was really excited to impart this American wisdom and skill on them... oh, he was disappointed.



In Ethiopia they do not have Arcades, they have Foosball tables on the side of the road where you can pay 1 birr for a turn. They also had a table at the orphanage (although it was broken when we were there). I guess if you are paying 1 birr for a turn you want your turn to LAST a long time!



The kids were good. REALLY, REALLY good!!!!!!!!!! They are also REALLY INTENSE when they play - it is pretty funny to watch. Ben laughed at himself all weekend - so much for imparting skill! :)

We have decided that the Court Club is the best deal in town... for $100 a month the kids can swim, rock climb, play basketball, take classes, and beat their dad in Foosball... what a deal!
