...Chapter 1? Well, we went to the CAT today... Meooow.
Just kidding, it's not a real cat. It's a government organization acronym which is the Mexican equivalent to: The US children and family services. Hans wore a really smelly shirt, we got to play with the kiddies, stain the play-set (and our clothes), and install a few fans (4 to be exact).. And Amy held a small screaming child, which is not unlike the screaming teenagers she had to deal with after the game of mafia last night. Anyway, once we arrived at the CAT, we discovered an intruder (scorpion) had snuck its way into B2B's trailer. Once we entered the CAT's property, we were greeted by the many excited young Mexican children. Then we split into 4 groups and provided the kids with VBS (Vacation Bible School). We entertained the kids with a beautiful song, assisted them in the creation of goggles, exploded canisters of lemonade flavored tablets, and enjoyed a pleasant reenactment of the story of Lazarus.
After lunch, some of us stained a playset, some assembled and installed fans, and everyone else spent time with the kids. While attempting to completely stain the play set, we had many surprise visits from kids trying to climb onto the wet structure but we had to shoo them away, which got us a couple of death stares. The kids enjoyed coloring books, puzzles (which were actually pretty challenging), and pretty colored chalk which Shay was nice enough to share from his own secret collection today. The kids enjoyed time with their parents, who arrived once we began our departure.
When we came back home we were surprised by a mariachi band and an authentic Mexican dinner, which was really spicy but super tasty. And now we are playing a nice, loving game of mafia. Adios!
