Crazy 3 Day Weekend!

Wow last week was busy...we got Benny on Wednesday, having two puppies is lots of work. He is a very good dog and we are happy to have him. Friday was fun, during the school day Brent's entire class came over to my classroom. We set up a store in our room since we are working on counting money and making change. Brent's students would buy an item from " the store", and my students would count back the change.Brent is so funny..he comes into my classroom and moves decorations around. The kids are like " Oh No Mister!" It is pretty funny. Friday after school we headed to a town that has a bay that glows at night. There is algae in the water that soaks up the sunlight during the day and glows at night. We took a big boat ride in the dark out to the bay. We ended up having a full moon that night, so it wasnt all the neat. The boat ride was fun though!! Well after the boat ride we had plans to stay in a hotel in Mayagues, so we could get up early and go to the zoo. We had such a hard time finding this city though. We finally got there around 11:30 to find the tiniest room. Both the Marsh's and us had our two dogs and we decided it just was not going to work. We ended up driving all the way home to Guayama. On Saturday we decided we needed a relaxing day, so of course we decided to go to the beach. It was very nice. We found a lot of sea shells and sand dollars! But when we got home I was shaking out the beach bag and all of the sand dollars fell out and broke..whoops! Yesterday we hung out with the dogs, cleaned, and watched football. Today we got up early to go to a rainforest, El Yunque. We ended up driving 2 hours to the town and went up this huge mountain to find that the road was closed. We had to drive another 30 minutes to enter a different way. When we got there it started to rain!! The rain forest was beautiful though. We hiked to this big waterfall. When we got there we were already wet, and we were wearing our swimsuits, so we decided to jump in. ( no pictures because it was raining to hard to take the camera out)It was so fun! Kelly and I were soaked and we didnt want to put our jeans back on so we hiked the 30 minutes back to the car wearing our swimsuits and tennis shoes!! There was so much more to do at El Yunque, we definetly want to go back. It was so nice to have today off, and we have conferences on Friday, so it will be a short week. Well it was a crazy weekend here, but we had fun. Hope you all had a good weekend. Talk to you soon.
