Bonjour,

This morning, we got a few things done around the house. Then, we
headed into Abidjan.

Joe dropped the children and I off at Orca. We went upstairs to
Orcaland, the play area for the children. Joe had to go get another
piece of paper for the things he is working on. The boys had a great
time playing. They were in a merry-go-round type ride. Danny decided
that he wanted to get out. Several ladies work there to help supervise
the children. One of those ladies was standing right next to him, but
she wasn't fast enough. Danny flipped over the side of Dumbo and hit
his head. It was just a scrape; so, it didn't need stitches. They had
a first-aid kit there and got him cleaned up. Then, he went right back
to playing.

After we played for awhile, we got shoes back on and went to see the
fish and eat lunch. There is a pet store at the other end of that
floor. They have a fish pond out in front of their store. Joe met us
at the restaurant. We had hamburgers for lunch. The hamburgers were
very good. Gilbert knows that the restaurant there also has ice cream.
He said that he thought we needed some. So, Daddy let them choose what
kind they wanted.

We went grocery shopping. We still had a little time to kill before we
could pick up Joe's paperwork. So, we looked around the mall for
awhile. We found a swimming vest for the boys. We already had one;
they had been taking turns using it. They are excited about each having
their own vest now.

We stopped in Anyama to check the post office box. Then, we stopped at
Lenell's apartment to check on her water tank and pump. Joe talked to
Max for awhile. Then, we headed home.

I got too hot today and didn't drink enough water. I had a bad
headache. After supper, I headed to bed.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
