A Day in Piriapolis

Wednesday November 2nd, we just spent a pretty relaxing day in Piriapolis (where we stayed for the month). That morning, Spence went to help the Piriapolis ward with a service project painting one of the "hospitals" in the city. A few hours into the project, the kids and I went to see him and check out the progress. As you can see from the pictures the clinics aren't very big and I can't imagine they're very up to date inside either. I'm very grateful none of us needed medical help while we were there.

When we were visiting and seeing the progress, Davis was thoroughly entertained playing with the kids that were there. My kids, speaking English, are always a big hit, but the kids this morning couldn't get enough of Davis telling them, in Spanish, that his name was Buzz Lightyear. They thought he was so funny and they were happy to run and play and do whatever he wanted for a pretty long time. Blair likes to play with the other kids sometimes too, but she's a little more shy. She hung with me most of the time.

Later that afternoon, we took the sister missionaries to lunch. On Sunday, when we were at church, they were passing around the sign up to feed the missionaries and Spence thought that would be fun. He told the missionaries that we couldn't make anything really good with what we had in our house, so we just took them to a restaurant we liked. It was fun visiting them and Spence really enjoyed hearing all about the mission.

The rest of the day we took it easy, played at the park, and enjoyed being together.

We tried to have a few different people take a picture with all of us, including Spence, but for some reason, they couldn't make it work. So we settled for this one Spence took.
