Una Fogata

A few Friday nights ago, some of us had ganas [the desire] to have a bonfire, sing some songs, roast marshmallows, get bitten by creepy, crawly things... etcetera. :)

Jenna and I's kids, and the boys from the dorms headed back behind the volunteer dorms to the fire-pit for some good fellowship...

On the walk to the fogata site, I snapped this photo of the six kidlets.

(l-r) Diego, Aaron, Candi, Nere, Jose, and Ponch

I believe Jenna called Limón the "fire-whisperer" right before this photo was taken... ;)

Fede and Aaron -- notice [again] the weirdo smile Aaron has. I don't get it... how can a kid smile normally for two years, and then suddenly... snap! it's gone.

weird.

José -- Strongest Child in the World Contest

Contestant #3307 -- a sure win. :)

Seth brought his guitar so we could sing a few praise songs -- which the kids absolutely love. They also loved strumming the guitar... five million times. :)

Five million might be an exaggeration, but it was certainly a main attraction!

La Princessa; who stole her crown from...

... the principes!

Diego and Mario inhaling lots of wood smoke...

Poncho and Juan-tan during the fogata.

Yesterday afternoon Juan-tan came up to the house to read with Ponch on the porch, and suddenly our entire house-full of kids was glued to his side.

Do you think they're longing for a little male influence??? :)

All in His time...

This is what happens when you stay up past your 8:15 p.m. bedtime... ;)

Federico and Uriel were having a great time "wrestling" with Diego and Aaron. I think it's awesome that these two little guys can have two "big guys" that will play with them like this -- most days, anyway... ;)

Fede and Uriel have a lot of influence over the younger kids -- please pray that they could be good examples... and that God would continue to speak to their hearts!
