Today was our last day at our jungle house in Rio Grande. We spent the day doing all our favorite things at the house which started with a morning walk for Josh and me. We have gotten to know the streets around us pretty well and today we walked up to the very top of the hill just up the street from us and admired the view from there. Such a gorgeous spot we’ve been able to call home for the past week and a half.
Later this morning we drove down to the church that happens to be just a little ways down from us and found the sister missionaries there having their morning study. We were hoping that there would be a sacrament meeting but it turns out that the meetings are all still done over zoom. But we talked with them for a few minutes and walked around the cute tiny building before we headed back home for our own gospel study.
This trip has given us some good time to play lots of games. We’ve settled into playing scum and spades mostly every day and today was spent playing lots of both. We love sitting out on the patio in the warm sun and playing game after game. We never tire of it and with our music on and enough galletas to go around, we’re set! It’s the best.
We’ve all gotten plenty of bug bites this trip and we must have gotten eaten alive yesterday at Gozlandia Falls. We compared our bites and figured out that we all have too many to count...
This afternoon was the ultimate “trick” showdown in the pool. The boys each gave their all and showed us their best stuff. We had a really good back flop, some amazing cannon balls and a few curly cues. But there was only one belly flop that ruled them all and that came from little Desh who had to show everyone up!
The card games continued into the evening and we’ve come up with a really good Latin play list that we love listening to. Each of the kids has their favorite song but they’re all good and we keep adding to it when we find a new song. We had a couple of really big critters visit us tonight. This huge cockroach came flying into our game and scared half of us out of our seats! And Josh found a huge spider that he thought he killed with bug spray but then later couldn’t find the body! Yikes.
We have loved this place. It’s been our favorite so far and we’re sad to have to say goodbye to it tomorrow. But we had such a good day here doing all the things we have loved doing one more time!
