We have some beautiful sunsets here and I finally got a good shot of one. Thought you might enjoy it too.

This is our form of "tub bath" here in the valley.
This was a nice picture of one of Dale's students. Her name is Maria. Posted by Picasa

I wanted to show you all some of the beautiful flowers that are around. There are many different kinds of hibiscus flowers, and hopefully I'll get alot more flower shots for you in the future.

Here we are in Placencia. It's a beautiful place with great waves to jump! A friend of ours from Pierceland was down here, with her son and daughter-in-law, visiting her granddaughter, her husband, and their baby. We both ended up going to Placencia at the same time which was great! It was wonderful to visit with them. God works things out in increadible ways.
This is Gladys, our friend from Pierceland.
Here is a shot of Gladys, her son behind her, her granddaughter's husband beside him, her daughter-in-law holding Kaylee, and her greatgrandson. Her granddaughter had stepped out for a bit and we missed getting her picture. They are a wonderful family, and we were so glad we could spend some time with them.

On our way down to Placencia on the coast, we pass through huge citrus orchards. Grapefruit and oranges. There are some processing plants along the way also.
There are also quite a few banana orchards. The blue bags are to keep the bugs off (we think).
The road through the mountains is really pretty.

Kaylee and Leah's friends Cynthia and Michelle.
This is Hilda, our friend here in the Valley. She lives with her daughter Janice. She's a wonderful lady.
Dale is trying to get the students to learn to work together. They don't get how to work as a team to do something, so he's trying through things like this team effort to get them thinking as a working group.

Yesterday for PE Dale did the 2nd round of the Canada Fitness Awards. The kids had to do: situps, pushups, shuttle run, 50 yard dash, and standing long jump. There were some who don't like to participate, but alot of them had a good time.

Spot and his Babies He seems to think that the kittens are his. He baths them, cuddles them, and generally keeps track of them. In case you're wondering...they don't mind a bit!!
Our secretary had a birthday the other day so our friend Ginger, the girls, and I made her a cake. Ginger and her husband are missionaries from the States who are living across the way from us.
This is Michelle, a little friend from church.

For Bible class Dale had the students write and preform a skit on guilt, confession, and forgiveness. They did really well and had a great time too.
