It's Friday!!


Everything still well. Maura had a b-day party at school today.. She had cake and celebrated with people who she can't understand. She apparently has made a friend named Bubby. If it's a boy or girl remains to be seen. I don't think she knows. She starts Monkeynastiks and swimming on Monday. It's getting very hot during the day, but cooler at night. We have a gardener name Ambrose who waters our plants and lawn every monday, wednesday and friday. He's cool. Don't know what he says, but he's cool.

A side note about the flight.... We were not the biggest family on the flight over to Africa.. There was a family of 13 children making their way over to Senegal.

That's enough for now, I'll be taking the older kids out to eat tonight to "Apache Spur". They have trampolines, video games, neon pink hotdogs and burgers that would instantly turn you into a vegetarian. But, it's a great place for the kids nd they have a nice patio with cold beers.
One last thing... Everyone burns everything here. I thought our house was on fire this morning but apprently the man who lives behind us thought it would be a good time to burn a slew of tires. Nice... Fresh... Air... In Botswana, they seem to enjoy piling up garbage and burning it. One of our friends mentioned that he's never seen so many advertisements for matches.
