Yoga with the Kids

My friend Callie, who was in the Peace Corps with me, and her brother Dane spent a FUN filled week with the kids and I. What a week it was! These two are sooo full of ENERGY!!! They are both yoga teachers and taught the kids and I yoga every day. The kids had an amazing week and loved the yoga! We would find the kids striking yoga poses even during free time in the evening. And since Callie and Dane left we continue doing yoga every morning with the kids instructing themselves. I asked Ian this morning what his favorite yoga pose is and he exclaimed "Hello Sun!!"

Here are some pics of our yoga classes:

Their personalities exactly! Martin- very serious, Ian always smiling and loving people:)

They're Back!

The kids are finally on school break and back at the house! When I went to pick the younger kids up from St. Gerald they were waiting at the gate with huge smiling faces:) We went from quiet and boring to a house full of laughting, singing and dancing!!

Our Girls

The kids are on break for a month and we have so much going on this month! We have been celebrating Easter all week and will continue through Monday. This includes attending the masses for Holy Week and having a nice feast on Easter. Even on Monday we continue celebrating.

Lunch

Lunch- Mukimu (mashed potatoes, corn, bean and greens) and lentil stew. All from our garden except the lentils.

 Also, 2 of my friends (Callie Sorensen and Jonny Finity) that were in Peace Corps with me back in 2005-2007 are currently in Kenya! Callie and her brother Dane teach yoga and are spending a week with the kids and I at the house. Jonny is the director of GoBe Foundation and 7 of our high school students are attending his 2 week camp. My next blog posts will feature Callie with lots of pics of our kids enjoying yoga and Jonny!
