So on Friday afternoon after work was finished for the weekend, a group of 10 missionaries and 5 children headed out for a mild adventure. None of us knew exactly where we were going but we were headed to a small beach to camp for the night. After driving for an hour and taking a small taxi boat we arrived at our destination. It was the perfect spot. God knew exactly what we desired but as well as what we needed. We arrived on a beach with plenty of beautiful sand, a few picnic tables and a little grill oh and a very small hut to change in! You couldn't ask for much more in Haiti. It was a bit nippy on Friday afternoon but the kids didn't hesitate jumping into the waves, as well as some adults. We cooked hot dogs, marshmellows and popcorn (who knew you could find marshmellows in Haiti - thanks to people who send care packages, we had marshmellows). It was a wonderful night. We sang songs, played some games, star gazed and did a lot of talking. I felt completely relaxed. It is amazing how we can see the big and little dippers just like the people can at home. This made me feel so connected to home! We laid our sheets down on the ground and headed to bed. It was a cold night! Four of us slept in a row and we battled for the sheets. Next time we'll know to bring more clothes and blankets. We had an early start to our morning. The brave kids and adults were in the water before 6. We sat down to eat our breakfast... popcorn, chocolate, cookies and oranges! to popcorn is made from corn, the cookies had oatmeal in them, chocolate has milk and oranges are fruit so I think we hit all our food groups. We spent the morning in the water swimming and splashing around. It was a great day had by all. I can now say I have camped under the stars at the beach! Take a look at the pictures. We know we will have to do this again!
