The kids start each day with a flag ceremony and reflection on their great country.
We were asked to join the class for a picture since LDS missionaries have been part of the El Quebracho Ranch school system for years.
We enjoyed our last full day of English class with a slide show made with pictures of the kids. We have to admit that we had more fun than actual learning. (We will have a part day tomorrow then be heading to Buenos Aires and finally, Colorado.)
When retrieving the high school kids from Feliciano, we noted many of the kids riding horses home. Obviously, riding horses is a big part of the kids life. Some of the children didn't look more than 10-11 years old but could handle a horse like a pro.
The kids wore traditional ranch wear to school on Friday.
They talked about traditional Argentine customs.
Below are all our kids names which we want to seal into our memories.
The kids had a program which reminded us of a Primary program with a memorized verse recited by each child.
They did awesome!
Below is the newest remodeled house. A gaucho with his wife and
two children will be moving closer to work as soon as it is completed which
should only be a week or two ... or three ... or four... That also is part of
their culture... slow down, don't worry about anything, and enjoy life. Not a
bad motto.
If you look in the center and slightly to the right below, you'll see a large bird that is less common for the ranch. Gabi noticed it and took the picture. (Sorry, we didn't catch the name of the bird but the terrain merited an entry to our blog since it is so beautiful.)
