Kids

For lunch today, I thought I would take the advice from one of the Kindergarten Valentine's Day cards. From the February 8 posting - "Do you miss us? Does the cook over there make corn dogs for you? That will make you feel better." They had corn dogs on the line, I had one and I did feel better, even on a cloudy dreary day. I will think of that valentine card whenever they have corn dogs on the menu.

Before lunch we went out to the perimeter fence near the runway to take a look at it. In this area there is a village near by, the pictures above show some of the homes. When we first got out to the fence there were only two kids out behind the houses. You can see them in the picture by the water, they looked to be about 2 and 4 years old. Before long they had crossed the water and were up by the fence. In no time at all, more kids started to show up and by the time we left the area, there had to be 20 or more at the fence, all ages.

The kids have picked up on the important English words - "Throw me a biscuit", "Throw me a dollar", "I'll be your good friend if you give me a dollar". A biscuit is a cookie or candy to them. We did not have anything with us and we're not supposed to throw anything over the fence to them. Though some must be as they sure came running when they saw us up by the fence. I'll have to try to get some pictures of the kids the next time I'm out there.
