This sign reassured us we were in the right neighborhood.
Here it is!
Here come our Marines, in full uniform, which is pretty impressive with the added heat they must have been feeling!
This Marine wore a Santa suit instead, which was probably even hotter than the uniform would've been.
This is one of the classroom walls.
Lining up to have a turn with Santa and receive a gift.
This little girl was so excited about her gift. She danced around the yard and showed everyone her beautiful barbie =)
This Marine was especially cute with the kids!
Notice the clips he put in his hair as he was showing the girls how to use their new gifts.
He put his hat on this little girl's head and she was happily showing the others.
She then tried out her new jump rope. She said "Uncle! (Referring to the Marine). Watch me!"
Then she handed him the jump rope. He gave it a shot =)
She is braiding her new doll's hair.
She is putting a doll in Jenna's hand.
Jenna wasn't sure if she should take Eeyore.
Jenna soon warmed up to this sweet little girl.
This is Deborah, the woman who runs the Orphanage.
Loading back into the armoured vehicles.
On our drive home I spotted these trees--Norfolk Island Pines! These were my favorite trees which I discovered while living in Australia. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they also live here in Lagos =)
