Primary Activity Day

We have been the Activity Day leaders for the past few months and love this great group of kids.  Here the boys and girls meet together because there is no scouting.  We have 12 who attend, ages 8-11.  They are really nice kids--smart and very international.  They come from 5 or 6 different countries and all are so nice and get along quite smart!  This month we made candy leis for their Dads and then we had some competitions - the tallest towers made with marshmallows and spaghetti - paper airplane designing - crabwalk soccer and pic pocket tag.  It was a wild but fun evening.






Last Saturday we had our cultural outing with the other missionary couples.  We went to the Burg Eltz castle which sits down in a wooded are that is one of the most beautiful settings that we have seen.  We had a lovely tour of the castle and walked around the valley and then went to Cochem, a small city on the Rhine river for lunch.  It was a cool but very beautiful day in a lovely part of Germany.







During the summer many of the villages in Germany have summer festivals called Hessentags.  There are many local delicacies and entertainment and interesting markets.
