Do all of you Chicagoans remember Kiddieland? Ethiopia has a smaller version of this little amusement park, Veeras, here in Addis. Last Sunday, we took the Little Ahope kids to Veeras. It was so much fun! There is a ferris wheel, a huge slide, a couple of small rides, bumper cars, and a swing set. It was really great to get the kids out of their daily routine for a little while. They had a blast!
This past year Tiffany's school raised money for an Ahope field trip, so we went back to Veeras on Wednesday with the Big Ahope kids. They also had a great time! They were all obsessed with my camera. I let them walk around and take pictures, which they loved. I ended up with some great shots :). 5 of the girls decided to do a photoshoot. They are all so pretty! For most of the day I just relaxed and watched the kids have fun, but I did get to drive a bumper car with E., a stunning girl. When it was time to eat, Tiffany and I were shocked as each kid ate an entire pizza themselves! That is one thing I have noticed here...Ethiopians sure can eat! I haven't spent a whole lot of time with the older kids, so spending the day with them at an amusement park was a great icebreaker.
Veeras was such a big success, that I am planning a couple of field trips myself. I can't wait to tell you about them!
