The Hirschi Family

I've posted some about our family, our expat friends and our international school friends.  Today I wanted to focus on some of our purely Ghanaian experiences which are the true jewel of our trip here. We had a proudly Ghanaian day at the Area office and here are some of Mark's proudly Ghanaian coworkers.  We didn't get pictures of us that day but we didn't look as fabulous as they did! The men looked great too.  For FHE this week we hosted the young single adults in our ward and had a great time! One of my new great friends Eva and I  We had an Xbox Dance party and we all had a great time and laughed a lot.    Here's an impromptu tag game after church with some of our new friends. Mark works closely with Kwabina (who also is a great friend and lifesaver and drives Mark home from work each day).  His beautiful wife Eunice came to help me prepare a Ghanaian meal of Marinated then fried chicken, Fried Rice, and plantains.  Yo

Spring Break and Ghana's Independence Day meant we got to spend some more time with these hooligans!  Here are a few highights of our staycation here in Accra and our two night vacation to the Volta Region in Eastern Ghana. Burger King and to the Movies for How to Train your Dragon 3 Playdate!  We had over some of their local and Nigerian friends over for lots of swimming, playing soccer, hot dogs, and friend time.  (Bradyn kept giggling every time he got up in chicken fighting- didn't make for a fierce competitor haha!) Botanical Gardens Playground, ropes, ziplines with our buddies the Farnsworths They had a few animals the kids fed there and Lucy is fitting in quite well with her barefoot travels At Shai Hills we did some climbing and cave exploring And we saw some wildlife: antelope, zebra, bats, and babboons We stayed in a family chalet at Waterfall Lodge.  Of course open spaces are their favorite. Enjoyed some l
