Beach trip!

0 Comments

Today we all loaded up in the bread truck and headed to the beach!

Here was the guest list:

Grant and the 5 others from his crew
Sarah, Yves, 5 of their kids, and Sarah's friend Amy
Me, NeNe, and Josien

Wahoo Bay is about an hour and a half from the guest house. It's also the spot where Sarah and Yves got married. :) When we arrived, the pool had no water in it. It was a bit of a disappointing start to the day, but it didn't seem to stop everyone from having a wonderful time. Instead of spending the time in the pool, we simply headed to the ocean. That wouldn't have been the first choice for all since the children (and a couple of the adults) can't swim. But the water is shallow enough in most parts to still have fun playing in the ocean. We had a delicious lunch. I had a cheeseburger and fries. Yummy! I was especially blessed because our cook/cleaning lady Josien came along. I wasn't sure at first if she would accept the invitation but she finally did and was so excited about it! :)

Thank you Grant and crew for giving us this special day!!

On the way we happened upon the remains of an accident from this morning. Thankfully, no one was injured.

As we started to move on from the accident site, our own truck had problems.

This "quick repair" would probably make many Americans cringe. In Haiti, it's a job well done and we were back on the road!!

Jeff was teaching Jimmy some bad habits. Jimmy's so cute though!

Gerlanda was afraid of the water at first, but warmed up to the idea quickly. For most, if not all, of Sarah's kids... this trip is a first for them!

NeNe and Regina weren't deterred at all from the pool disappointment. They instantly started lounging and playing on the comfy chairs. :)

What is a trip to the beach without someone getting buried in the sand?! Yves happily volunteered!

Cute little Regina was not shy at all.

This guy offered to fix us some fresh crab. I bet it would have been delicious! Next time...

You can pay these guys to take you for a "spin" in their boat. Here's NeNe getting a free break from the water.
