Now that we have been in Mali for a few months we are starting to find things to do in our free time. Here are some of the things we do:
The only golf course in Mali is in Bamako 400 miles away, but that doesn’t stop Matthew from getting ready for next year’s Monger Open. Luckily the back yard is one big sand-trap.
Maria has taken up sewing. She has made cushion covers for all the sofa and chair cushons as well as pillow cases and blankets.
Andreas loves to draw, color and write his name. He saw a Mickey Mouse movie where Mickey was writing with a feather – so of course he had to try that!
Petter and Mia love to play on the floor. Driving little cars around or chasing the Zhu Zhu Pet.
Sometimes on the weekend we wash the car together. Kind of hard to believe that it is december when we can splash each other as much as we want and not get cold! It’s not that easy, though, to wash the car with a boy in the bucket!
We also enjoy going swimming at the pool at a hotel in town and going for hikes on the hills just outside of town. We really are thinking of all of you all back in Norway and the US having the coldest winters in a hundred years!
