A couple weeks ago they invited the ninas to a "Lunada." That's a night-time party. It was held at the girls' home. They told the girls to arrive at 6. We got there at about 6:20, and we were the only guests there. The Lopez mom told us that they say 6, so most people get there around 7!
In this photo you can see Whitney, Ellie, Brianna, Dania, and Leslie holding a childrens book in English. She brought it out when the ninas got there.
This was a hoot!! They had iguanas that they tied little strings onto, like a leash. Then they tied the leashes around each little girls' wrist and put the lizards on their bellies! We sure got a kick out of that. This is the little sister Tutula, which is an Indian word for pretty. Her dad calls her "Pretty" a lot.
Brianna, Whitney and Dania on the tire swing in their yard. Their home was amongst the humblest I have ever seen in my life. It was so tiny and a quite ramshackle. the yard wasn't much either. But they had a tire swing and a hammock that the kids had fun on. We talked to the girls afterward about how little these kids have, and yet they are so happy, fun, generous, sweet and smart. We pointed out that you don't have to have lots of stuff to be happy.

The whole group of kids at the party. The ninas couldn't understand hardly anything that was said to them, but they had a good time. It was certainly a new experience for them!
