Loved spending quality time with everyone and trying fun new things. This was the second time the Esther's House kids have ever tried swimming, and they enjoyed every minute of it!
Unlike in the States, swimming activities (if any) are at least a 2 hour drive, so trips are not very common. Hence the excitement when we went!
The 9 residential Esther's House kids went with, the Wilson fam, and so did our house moms!
Hours were spent splashing in the water, going down the slide, jumping off the diving board, learning how to swim, and getting "close" to the deep end. The only break was for lunch, which was soon followed by getting back in the water.
As you can see, we swam at the resorts' swimming pool instead of the actual lake (which was in seeing distance). The water is clearer in the pool, 100% guarantee crocodile free, and no chance of getting a parasitic disease called bilharzia. Very kid friendly!
After swimming and eating, we walked to to the sandy shores of the lake.
Group pictures were taken, and then saw.....camels! So, all the kids got a ride. I thought about taking a turn myself, but had enough excitement already watching the kids do it!
It was a priceless moment. So many laughs, and a few scared expressions.
The camels were well trained, the only "scary" part was when they would need to stand up once the kids got on, and then sit back down after they finished their walk along the lake shore.
Thankful for this "family" The Lord has blessed us with.
