Voleibol

Lunes – 26 de Junio.

Día 12. “Voleibol!”

                This morning was just like others, 3 hours of grammar and vocabulary class, but we were missing Tommy so our teacher decided we were going to have a bit of fun today. We played Verb Bingo and spent a lot of time writing, which I have found to be really helpful- especially in the evening when I have to write my journals. In the afternoon it was again Piñata time, but this time we got to fill them with candy and break them open! We learned a little song to sing while hitting the piñata and it was quite the competition among the boys to see who could sing the best.

“Dale, Dale, Dale,

No pierdas el tino,

Porque si lo pierdes,

Pierdes el camino.

Dale, Dale, Dale,

Dale no la dio,

Quiténle la venda,

Porque sigo yo.

Ya le diste una

Ya le diste dos

Ya le diste tres

Y tu tiempo se acabó”

Translation for this song is not the best, but in a sense the song is telling you to “Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!” and don’t lose your aim! :)  After the fight for candy we headed home for La Comida and spent some time with our family- and the new addition to our house, Phillipe, our “cousin”.

Tonight we didn’t have an excursion but we headed to the high school, BIU, to play sports with some of the Mexican students. Tonight’s sport was volleyball, so of course I was really excited. My team ended up going 3-0 to win the championship, quite the feat for us! We sure cheered loud when Kenzie finally hit the ball over the net! :P The boys claim it was the training they made her do while we were on a break- basically running up and down the stairs! :P After sports it was just a night of rest, and we played some Rummy with family and then had la cena.  Off to catch up on writing my journals that I have been neglecting to write this weekend, shh! :P
