Amazing. Although I found myself missing home and Chicago quite a bit, we through an amazingly American party here in Bolivia. The Youngblood family and I spent hours cutting out red, white, and blue stars, decorating star shaped cookies, and finding all the treats Americans have on the 4th of July. Mrs. Youngblood even imported baked beans!! It was so wonderful.
We decorated the whole house with everything we could find in red, white, and blue. They rented a giant inflatable slide of the little kids. And we played American patriotic music. It was incredible. I few of the local orphanages came as well. What a blessing to be able to watch them enjoy all the fun treats and play with one and other. It was a great day.
