Pictures: Kid's Edition

The other day, our family was on our way back from spending an afternoon with our co-workers who live on the south side of Santiago. The kids were sitting in the back seat with me, since Kristi's parents were also in the van. I had my camera out on my lap, which is my usual habit.

Jordan asked if he could take some pictures with the camera. My initial reaction was "No way", but after thinking about it for a minute, I came up with an idea. I told Jordan, Ben, and Kaylee that they could have the camera for three minutes each and that they should take as many pictures as they could of things they want people to know about Chile.

So here it goes...

Jordan's pictures:

Jordan wanted to let you know that in Chile there is garbage on most streets. He thinks people should just put their garbage in the garbage can. (I agree with him)

...also that people who ride motorbikes can just go between cars at stop lights to get in front of the line.

Ben wants you to know that...

he thinks too many people load their trucks up to the top and they should be more careful.

...also that some people's property fences are ugly and they should get new fences.

Kaylee wanted you to know that her favorite city buses are the PINK ones. Each section of the city has their own color of bus.

Kaylee wants you to see her "fuzzy" picture. Kaylee gets a kick out of the "bumpy" streets here in Chile.

Kaylee misses Grandpa and Grandma Thompson already. They left for the States last week. All the children miss the extra attention.

So that's Chile from the kid's perspective. Maybe in the future, the kids will post again with more thoughts. Keep checking back and thank you for your prayers and support.
