What could be more fun??

The 8 of us went shopping today - having no idea at all what we were looking for.  We hiked awhile with Charo in the lead....through back lanes and buildings, across streets, dodging traffic.  Til we happened upon Charo's destination - a 4 story building filled with.....stuff.   Up a few floors to where there were toys and things.  Then...the fun began.  If you can only imagine 8 people trying to plan the perfect party for 60 kids - with fun activities and leave behind toys, dealing with Tony's obsession with the ultimate soccer game - us girls reminding the boys that the girls were generally in little dresses - soccer might not be their first choice.  We bought a Twister game, some little fishing rods - we have little giveaway toys they can win - soccer balls - other plastic balls, a ring toss game, hula hoops, then we found nail polish with sparkles and face paints. 

Then we hit the market and bought plastic glasses and napkins and lollipops.  We stopped for a quick bite and Tony and Ben sampled the greatest chicken chichorron (like McNuggets only better.)  We negotiated with the restaurant and at 9 tomorrow morning we will pick up chicken and fries for all.  And drinks of course.

We are so excited about tomorrow it is wild.  Now THIS is LIVING!
