Beach Time!!!

Grace Village site up near the mountain

Today was exhausted but it was so worth it. We went to Grace Village to pick up 44 kids plus 4 staffs and our team. Rent one tap tap(bus) plus our tap tap. The rent tap tap was filled with 40 people.  Mickail(that was his name, I thought it was Michael) pulled me to front row and I didn't realized its really bad spot because the seat was bad and make me slide forward and had my knee strained worse plus touching the front wall which was so hot and the window wouldn't open.  Gosh,  I really tried so hard to put up with it because the kids aren't complaining about crowd, long ride, beach closed.  They just have faith in God that we will eventually found the beach. Took us near 2 hours drive from Grace Village to Beach. The last half hour I had to stand up.

Kids swimming at the ocean

We first found one beach but it was so full so went to next 2 private beach and they wouldn't let us then finally found one. It was okay but kids don't care and just anxious to get in the ocean. Few of our team had to stand in the ocean to make sure the kids doesn't go past the line. Kids were just so full of joy and laugh. Some wearing life jacket because they don't know how to swim.

Lunch Break

Then we had break for lunch. We made peanut butter and jelly sandwich earlier in morning before we left. Its our duty to feed them because we want to take them out to the beach. Right after break, kids ran back into the ocean.. It was fun to see their excitement. Stayed for a hour then had to finished the day.

I decided to ride our tap tap this time and felt so comfortable with my bad knee. Some kids were so worn out. Took a nap on some of team 's lap or shoulder.  Then we arrived at Grace Village and found out the other tap tap(rented one) had 2 flat tires. So our tap tap had to drive back a hour to pick everyone up and filled into the smaller tap tap. Then drove back another hour. So we had to wait for near 2 hours at Grace Village exhausted. Finally left and arrive guest house and ate late supper. Most of us are so tired and went bed early. So do I.

Good night!!!
