Cameroon day

We had a great/terrible time recently with our friends the Abbotts, the family of my best friend from middle school. Great because they put together an awesome "Cameroon Day" at their house and we always love seeing them, and terrible because it is probably the last time we'll see them before they head back to the real Cameroon, awfully far away from us :-(. Even though I am proud of them for what they do (they are missionaries,) I still don't want them to go.

So, about the day...

Every family received a packet with passport, some basic information, and Cameroonian money (Central African Francs, in case you didn't know ;-). We started out in a Cameroon town. Brendan was the (very cute) gendarme, who could call for your papers at any time

Barry cooked the food,


Brianna sold fruit and drinks (in re-used plastic bottles to make it authentic,)

Even the bugs seemed authentic, haha.

Desma worked in the marketplace, which was stocked with all sorts of Cameroonian goodies.

Caitlyn negotiated for a necklace and bracelet, Keegan a pretty wooden box, and Kelsey a wooden elephant and purse. Mommy got a beautiful set of bowls :-).

Lastly, we visited the villageKelsey and Brianna in the mongulu

A wonderful day we will always remember.
