Beach day....and everyone is so excited! We are leaving in about fifteen minutes to meet the kids. It is drizzling rain right now so we are praying the sun will come out. Jaylen and Caleb said, "Don't worry about it, we're just going to get wet anyway!" They are just awesome. Valerie, Jaylen's mom, and I have been amazed watching our teenage sons with the little ones. Each of them has a tremendous gift and it is a true blessing to have them on this team. Ironically, Jaylen has six-year old twin brothers and Caleb has 18-year old twin brothers so they have a lot of stories to tell being the singleton in the family.
The beaches here are beautiful. The beach across from where we are staying is called Black Beach because it has black sand. It is just like regular sand but black. And not black like the oil in the Gulf. (My family knows how passionate I am about the oil spill and its effects on the Gulf Coast. FYI...I am going to have to catch up with Anderson Cooper and see what has been happening while I have been gone.) The beach where we are taking the children has white sand and a small tributary (not sure how to spell) also.
I can't wait to get lots of actions shots outside today and I will try to post them when we get back. It's tiime to meet the bus.
Praise God....I just looked up and outside and guess what? The rain has stopped and the sun is coming out!!! Let the fun begin....
We had a change of plans. The kids came to us today. They arrived so excited about 15 minutes ago and are already in the pool playing and having fun. They are laughing and splashing us all. The pool is sooooo cold because of the rain this morning but who cares? Look for more fun photos to come...
