Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the other ORI families. We spent the day at a nearby coffee plantation called Los Humitos. We enjoyed a delicious meal of turkey, potatoes, veggies, broccoli salad, several varieties of pumpkin desserts, and chocolate cake! Yum!


This is the view of Lake Amatitlan from the plantation. The grounds are gorgeous with many blooming flowers, including the poinsettias you can see in the left side of this picture.


Charlie and Tony flew his spiderman kite from the yard. Since the plantation is on a hill there was plenty of wind.


The younger children spent most of the afternoon in the pool. The weather was a bit cool, but the water was very warm as it is heated underground by a nearby volcano and piped into the pool.


The older boys played several games of 4-square, an improvised "soccer" version - no hands allowed.



The Weaver family!
