The past few days have been so refreshing for our whole family. Larry, Gayle and the girls (our Country Reps) were in Mymensingh and we were able to spend a lot of time together. Our boys, who don't get to play with other children that often, were thrilled to be able to have so much play time. I was happy too, because I got to cook a number of meals for all of us. We had a great time together and I am so thankful for such great CRs!
I think the highlight for everyone was taking a trip to the river on Friday morning. The water has risen a lot, due to the recent rain we've been getting. The shore was also lined with fishing nets, so it was a challenge to find an empty place that was good for swimming.
Riley decided he would dig a hole, so that when it rains, water will fill it and maybe fish would come in and he could come back and get the fish and our cook could make if for our lunch!!!
Meanwhile, the others were having loads of fun in the water. Pruitt decided to become a "mud boy" and the others were happy to help him. They spent hours in the water. It was wonderful!
Riley seems to have a knack for "living on the edge". The drop is only 6 - 8 feet. The children all made a slide out of it later. Jensen went down first. When asked by one of the girls if it hurt, he said, "Yeah it hurt, but it was fun!" Soon they were all sliding down. It doesn't take much to make kids happy. Just water and sand, with some mud thrown in, will do the trick!
