Happy 4th of July


The kids enjoyed their first parade in America and loved all the candy that was thrown their way! We ended up with 10 adults and 12 kids in our little group - it was so fun to watch the kids having fun with friends!
Tonight we will go see the fireworks - the kids have never seen them before. Joseph said that in Ethiopia they had fireworks for their millineum celebration (on our calendar it was 9/11/07) but that all the people thought it was a war starting and ran home. I hope they enjoy them tonight! Joseph also talked about parades back home they were for the police and military only. I am wondering if they were used to intimidate... hmmmm???
