Fiji-Day 2-Visiting the Village


























We took a boat and went down a river to a village. We went to a place where we watched a performace, ate a meal that was cooked in the ground, danced and could buy some goods that the local people had made. We also finally got to taste grog. I don't know why Keith loves it so much. We then got back on the boat and went to a huge waterwall. I didn't venture to it, but everyone else did. We also went on a bamboo raft for a short period of time. It was rainy most of the day, but it was still warm. A lot of the Australians loved the water and went swimming in the river. It was an interesting day and we learned a lot about the Fijian culture.

Christmas Party at Patsy Crapo's home
















We had a Christmas party with a lot of our old friends from Parker. It was fun to get together. We played a game and also had a gift exchange. I wanted to get some boxing clubs for Braxton, but lost them. Everyone had plenty to eat and it was fun to get together with our friends from Parker 1st that we don't get to see that often. There were around 25 people who came and Patsy had a nice roomy place to host the party.

Christmas Parties-Dinner Club at our house.











We had our annual Christmas party with our dinner club friends. We had really good food to eat especially a delicious appetizer in a bread bowl made by Judy. We had our gift exchange and visited with each other. It was good to get together.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!







We were wondering it we were ever going to get snow. We always want snow for Christmas. We not only got snow, but wind and had our first snow day on Friday. I was so glad to have a day to catch up and do more shopping.
