Dia de Campo

We've been wanting to do a picnic/day out with the Sunday school class for a while, but all of our weekends were busy. Finally we got a free Saturday so we all went to the ancient ruins that are down the street from our church. The weather was perfect...80 degrees, sunny, and little windy. We played futbol (soccer), 'roll the tire up and down the hill', ate lunch, sat around and talked, and had a gooood time! Around 3:00 the clouds started rolling in so we left before we could get caught in the downpour.
We were home for a couple of hours, then left again to go to the Zocalo--the center of town. There was a band set up to play that night...at 12pm...so we didn't stay for that. Only got to hear them warming up. We had fun anyways just walking around and seeing whatever there was to see.

Here are a few pictures of the picnic.

The road to our church and the ruins.

This is Austin on the way to the picnic. His new favorite song is "I've drawn the line and you ain't gonna cross it. Jesus gave me joy and I haven't lost it..." by The Dunaways. Any fast song with a fiddle, guitar, etc...and he is HOOKED!

Austin and Eliu playing in a cave they found at the ruins.

Judah lookin' cool with my sunglasses...

"Hey!! Give me back my glasses!"
Carry the tire UP the hill...

...and roll it back DOWN the hill. What a blast. (Haha!) It would've been much funner if we could've found a BIGGER tire and gotten IN it.

Soccer.

Me (Bethany), Anahi, and Maribel.

Me-"Ok boys, look at the camera!"
Boys-"Ok!"
Me-"Umm...look at the camera..."

Yes, thank you ISRAEL for looking at the camera!!

Judah with Pastor's sunglasses.

Judah...again. Yes, this really is the 4th picture of him. But he's so cute!! I couldn't choose the best one.

Nicole, Austin, and me at the Zocalo. I had to bribe Austin with all kinds of things to get him to take a picture with us.
...the little stinker. ;)
