Walkpooling

Our oldest boys have their very last youth group meeting in Costa Rica tonight. The youth group is in English but both ticos and gringos attend it, and, as many of the gringos are only here for a season and then off to another country for missions, the directors always have a special time of prayer on the last nights for the missionary kids. Trey was feeling a little apprehensive about going and being the center of attention for the prayer time and sendoff, but he went. I can't wait to hear about it.

Before they left, I learned a new word. Tee said that his friends and their parents were coming by to pick up Tully, Trey, Timothy, and their friend Mario to "walkpool" to the youth group meeting. I said, "What?" He said, "You know, instead of carpooling, we walkpool." Oh! Yes, we have done a lot of walkpooling here, as there is safety in numbers, and it's more fun anyway. But what a great word for it!
