A weekend of field trips, cooking class, and futbol!

This weekend I had a great time with the kids at the orphanage. We took two boys to the reptile museum and the park. We ended up riding around Quito with them in this little caterpillar bus that plays music. We were quite a sight - three white girls and two Ecuadorian kids on the caterpillar. On Friday night we made monster cookies (which if you've never tried, I would strongly recommend) with the cooking class. The kids all helped measuring out ingredients, mixing, drooling into the batter, etc. On Saturday we had another field trip with the two two-year olds to the mall. They have a little book shop where we planned on doing some reading. The reading didn't last very long but they loved riding around in these little cars and then having their first hamburger/fast food experience at McDonalds. Finally, my friends and I got tickets to go to the World Cup qualifying game - Ecuador v. Uruguay. We got into the festivities by buying jerseys, hats, and face paint. Sadly they lost last night, but a very cool experience!
