Sweet Mangoes and Sweet Times

Our last weeks here in Kenya have proven to be action packed, full of amazing, funny, insane experiences. We spent a lot of wild and crazy time with "the Germans" in the rain trying to push out a stuck car. We were all covered in sticky red mud, head to  toe.  We called our selves the "Mazungu Gang" and decided to help any stupid idiot, who tried to climb the slick road in their little cars and vans. We had a ball playing like little school kids in  the mud and rain.

We visited two different orphanages, one of which is kept  for those kids who are HIV positive. But you would have never been able to tell because these kids where full of energy and wore huge smiles consistently! We played and played until we dropped to the ground! And then the kids played on and around us. Me and Alexis went and bought them a special little treat...>Mangoes< Every single kid and adult in the orphanage squalled with joy as we cut them open and gave the sweet, juicy, bright yellow and orange colored mangoes out to eat. Juice dripped down chins, and  little mouths scraped and sucked every last drop piece of mango f leash of the peal.Then they ate the peal. I laughed and laughed as I watched with shear joy. We ate mangoes until until our bellies were puffed out. Nothing could have been better than Sweet Mangoes and these Sweet Times.

These Pictures will describe it all--- and in my opinion are even sweeter than the mangoes we ate that day!!!
Sorting through died beans so we can eat them for dinner. It only took us all a couple of hours, no big deal
