The kids got to go fishing with bamboo fishing poles, and they all caught at least one fish! Mikayla caught the most, but Zach's was the biggest. We even got to eat our catch for lunch!
The pool was of course a favorite. Ben has a ball just jumping in, and he can do it for much longer than the catcher can.
Mikayla has become a little fish since arriving here. She rarely uses a vest anymore because she can swim across virtually any pool. Her record so far is about 80 feet at one stretch!!!
All 3 kids loved the 70-foot waterslide. Ben usually went with Dad, but he did try it a couple times by himself as well.
There was a gorgeous sand volleyball court there, but the kids thought just rolling in the sand was much more fun.
There was even a duck-pin bowling alley on the property. We thought the kids would have fun with it, but we had no idea they would actually be good at it. Mikayla bowled a 49 all by herself, and Zach got a 30! Coincidentally, I beat Steve the first round, but then he annihilated me the 2nd round. We all had a blast. Ben seemed to enjoy the balls coming back as much as anything, but he had fun bowling too.
We all had fun playing relaxing games like coconut croquet too. We gave ourselves handicaps, and Mikayla and Zach both beat us!!!
The owners of the campground are old friends of my family, so all 3 kids got to ride the horse that belongs to their daughter. You'll have to check the next post for a story about their ride.
The weekend was wonderful and exactly what we needed. We came back feeling refreshed - and good thing because this past week was a tough one!
Please continue to pray for Ate Baby (our helper) and her son. He is at home now but seems to be having some amnesia issues. Their family needs our prayers. We are VERY thankful to have Ate Baby back at work though - it was tough to keep up our language schedule last week without her to do the cooking and cleaning and washing clothes.
