A Saturday outing…

  
Thinking that we should do something at least a little special for the “stateside holiday” July 4th, we decided to head to Jacmel Beach and Basin Ble for the day, on Sat. The staff from the compound joined us, and we were excited to have them with us! 

 
      Kayla & Abby                                          Mandie & Amber

Because of different vehicle issues, we ended up taking the Montero, and large yellow pump truck. Most of us jumped on the back, selected a place to sit and hung on. Was a great way to make memories!

       We had to hike about a 15 min. hike back to the falls, I didn’t get any pictures of the falls this time, but the setting was beautiful.

   Paul and Frieda were great! Frieda did an awesome job at hiking back there, she even climbed down this rock! 

Then bumped back out to the main road on out to the Beach.

We had a beautiful day! The waves were a little too rough for me… But it was good just to sit and relax for awhile.

These dear children were so much fun to take pictures of… very photogenic! enjoy the results of the photo shoot…  Makes me wonder really what their lives are like…

 

 

These last two are my favorite!!
