In Which I find Out More of the Basics

November 2, 2016
 My host family has 15 pets.  Most of them are just for fun, but the chickens actually help out.  They have three hens: two Americaunas and one Barred Plymouth Rock. The Americaunas lay green eggs!  It's fun going out in the morning and collecting eggs for breakfast. But this morning when they went out there were THIS many eggs:


My host mom says that means somebody hasn't been doing his job, because each chicken only lays one egg per day.

Since the kids don't go away to school, they have to do PE at home too.  Other than running the dog, jumping on the trampoline, and hiking, five of them take karate...


...and five are on puppet team at their church.  Puppet team is COOL!  They have all sorts of puppets and put on blacklight puppet shows.  The team used to compete but they kept on winning all the prizes so they were asked to just do exhibitions instead.  Here's me with my new friends. 


The blue guy is Drago and the pink one is his sister Lucy.  My host brother Ben (15)  is Lucy's head and controls the mouth, eyebrows, and ears, and his best friend Harrison is Lucy's hands.  That's Brady in the front.  His Funzle is singing some weird song. Here's a video of one of their blacklight songs:
