I HAD SUCH A FUN WEEKEND. The whole high school (80 people) went camping at the beach for 2 nights and three days (Thursday - Saturday). The Seniors were actually there a day longer because they went out on Wednesday to chop down the forest and clear the beach, dig the bathroom holes, get the kitchen area set up etc. I was able to go again this year as a chaperone. What a blast. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, bonfires on the beach, guitar playing and singing while our voices drifted over the water, night snorkeling, frisbee, rugby, buckbuck, fishing... doesn't it sound amazing?
Emma ended beach trip by cutting open the pointer finger on her right hand causing her to need 5 stitches. That was quite painful and we are praying for quick healing without any infection.
Now we are ready to settle down into a routine. For the high schoolers, this will be their first full week of school. This week will also be the start of the first volleyball games and the Friday night meals. Hopefully, the homesickness and tears here in the dorm will be less frequent as time goes on.
Here are a few pictures:
