We kicked off the new year with a long promised visit with Alli, the girls' first friend in Manila. Her family moved out to near Faith Academy (world famous school for Missionary Kids) in the summer. So after a lunch together at our house, we went out to Faith for a play on their fabulous playground...
Someone had great fun designing this place! It is cut into the hill, so on two levels, with fireman poles, tunnels, slides, "tree house" platforms connecting the two.
As this is the first playground we've been to since leaving Canada, Jasmin was a bit intimidated, but after an introduction by Mommy/Daddy, she was good to go.
I even got to play 4-square (last time was grade 4 or so...) and shoot some baskets.
Grace loved it! She only stopped in to say she was thirsty once in awhile.
The best thing about it for me was the green view and traffic-noiselessness :o) We stayed so long we had to go find supper before finding our way home in a taxi. Grace found this huge shoe on the way and wanted Daddy to buy it!
We all had really good sleep that night! But, when we got home around 9, both girls were quiet adamant that we had to do our Bible story time before they could go to sleep! We were happy to comply with this, of course.
