Day 51– Aug 19, 2005, Friday: Guess What We Did Today!

Here is Jessie and Jonny swinging at the park. loads of fun. below is a shot of the hilly lands around here. It is really beautiful.

Since we are still making our own food I have to include breakfast. We had French toast, one of my favorites. We also cut into a new pineapple, a fresh white one. It was so good. There is nothing like a fresh Hawaiian pineapple. For some reason though, Jonny doesn’t like them. Poor kid.

After breakfast we had a little devotional time as a team. Karen read about how we need to share the light (God’s Word (Jesus)), not ‘hide it under our beds’. It made me think, because there are lots of people I know really well, that even know I am a Christian, but I haven’t really shared with them what it is like to KNOW God, and have a relationship with him. Most people that see me think of it as just a religion. It’s not, it’s me knowing God, doing what he tells me to do. Anyway, it was good.

Next, you guessed it, we cleaned. I had the priveledge of cleaning the windows around the outside of the house. I actually enjoyed it because up here in Kohala there is always a nice breeze. I also didn’t have to smell the bleach and cleaners inside. Jessy and Jonny cruised around in their pink Barbie car for most of the morning. Most of us were extremely tired so we decided to cut out early and go to the pool after lunch. Ruth and some others stayed home and napped, but me and the kids couldn’t pass up an afternoon of swimming. The bummer was that when we arrived at the pool, it was CLOSED! Can you imagine the look of disbelief I got from my 4 and 6 year olds when I told them that? Luckily next door was a fun little park, so we stayed and played for a few hours.

We then walked the mile back home (we were actually driven there by a friend). We stopped for ice cream and drinks in town of course. I carried Jonny the whole way. He was so tired he fell asleep as I carried him. He slept for nearly two hours after we got home too.
