Beach trip

These are not my pictures, but a few months ago we went to a really nice beach with two of the families that will be our partners in the village.

This was the definitely the nicest beach I've been to since we've been here.  To get there we drove for about an hour on an awful road.  A few times I wasn't sure we were going to make it.  There had been some flooding a few days before and at one point the road was covered by a small river.  I had flashbacks to 'Little House on the Prairie' scenes of Pa leading the horse and wagon across angry swollen waters.  Well, this wasn't quite that bad, but a little scary:)  Huge chunks of the side of the road were missing in various places and it was just an all around junky road.   Anyways, we arrived at a dock and hired a man to take us to the beach on his boat.  It was about a 10 min boat ride.  We were the only ones there and it was so much fun!

Out of our team's 7 children, Raquel and Eden are the only girls.

Here we are on the boat- it was a gorgeous day!

The water was lovely.  Each couple went out snorkeling while the others watched the kids.  At one point between someone coming back in and Dylan and I going out, no one was watching Roman and he charged right into the water.  Thankfully Raquel saw him and we plucked him out and put him in this yellow tube.  He loved being in the water and stayed there most of the day.

I guess he doesn't look that excited, but, really, he loved it.

Jericho and Roman are just two months apart.  This is my favorite picture.  They would drop their food in the sand, pick it up with their sandy hands and shove everything into their mouths.  It's so nice to share:)

Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera, so we'll just have to go back...:)
