A walk in town and fun at home :)

So far getting fresh fruit in town here has been very challenging! There are no big grocery stores in town. Only little stores that sell some basic groceries.
There is also a market that supposedly has fresh fruit for sale. We were running a bit low on fruit so we made the walk to the market on Thursday but there was nothing worthwhile available! Someone told us that Saturday mornings were best for fresh fruit so we headed out again today.
At first I was quite disappointed to only get some apples. But as we walked home we first ran into a man selling watermelon out of the back of his truck and then another man selling cantaloupe. So now we have some other fruit besides the oranges that are right in our own back yard!
Our neighbours have these large wheeled tricyles for their twins. Brad loves to peddle through town on the blue one :) (they have a boy and a girl so the other tricycle is pink!)

Of course Kris is often busy playing one of her favorite things-setting up a house. I think Brad has come over for dinner....

Nice pictures, especially the first! I enjoy always seeing new updates on your blog, just about every other day or so, I think. Praying for you all!

So cute to see the children playing with their friends. That is a real blessing that there is another family who have children for your kids to play with. Hope your back is still feeling okay. We are praying for you often.
Love, Steve & Jo

Hi guys--we just got back from the cottage--we were there with the Stews and then the Stels and had a great time with both. So I am catching up on your emails and your blog. It is great to see all the pictures so we can see what things look like there. The mountains in the background look beautiful and so do all the tropical plants. We are praying for you!
Love, Chris
