why did the chicken cross the road?

I saw that happen the other day when we were driving home. I was so excited. But I am easily amused.

Lots of activity the last few days. Thursday, we took the girls on an outting to Bahura, a beach resort. So pretty, as usual. Crystal clear water, and sparkling sand. The pools were nice too. And the food we had for lunch was delicious! One of the girls said she was in heaven after her first bite. They really had a lot of fun. It was sort of a once in a lifetime opportunity for them, so I am glad we got to be a part of that memory. Poor Becky and Kadie are covered in sun burn. It's really bad and painful. :(

Yesterday, just our Agape Art Team and Ate Karen & Theresa went to Apo Island. It's an infamous diving spot, but we went for snorkeling. I was scared out of my mind because the ocean scares me a little, but I went for it because I knew I was being watched over and it was totally worth it. Kadie's first time too but she caught on right away as well. A whole 'nother world down there. Saw lots of little Nemo's and other colorful fishies. Periwinkle starfish and a few of us were lucky enough to see some sea turtles. All was relaxing and enjoyable until these little translucent jellyfish invaded. Ouch! The boat ride back and forth was nice too. I liked looking at the water. It was a royal/navy blue color in the some parts, and aquas and teals and seafoam green in others. But you could still see the coral through it pretty easily.

I feel like I'm leaving so much out, but I'm just grateful to get the chance to write. There was a brown-out here since 2pm yesterday. Luckily we had running water still. Didn't matter so much at that point that it was cold. Felt good on the sunburn. Power came back right before noon which was perfect timing. Sundays are group lunches so we all ate together. Now everyone's resting before outreach in an hour. And later tonight, I'll get to teach the girls to make yo-yo's. We haven't had art lessons in a couple days so I am looking forward to it.

Losing power on the laptop so I have to go.
