Black River Crocodile Safari

Black River Crocodile was again a great event! Sophie and Grace got to hold a small crocodile - Jen too. The boat ride was fun - all the kids had a turn driving the boat on the way back to dock. We saw some really big crocodiles in the water and climbed on the Mangrove roots - fun times!

More YS Falls

More fun at YS Falls - swimming in the river pools, swinging on the rope swing, playing in the waterfalls, and the warm spring water pool.

YS Falls

We had a great time at YS Falls on the Fourth of July ... here are Jennie and Jason ready for the zip line - the kids at the pool, the gittney ride up and Grace with the live flower arrangement at the front desk.

Service Project

For the Hardy Family Service Project they collected books and toys - mostly from their own house! In checking with the School for the Deaf, they needed white board markers so they brought some of those also. School is out for the summer - but the school is run by the Mennonite Church and they were preparing for a Summer Bible Camp - so we took the things to them there - one small boy - Natty, was happy to get them! Noah is pretty social and made friends easily with him. Then we visited Brother Gayle and Marcus in Junction - miss serving with these neat people.

Fort Charles

In Kingston we visited historic Fort Charles - originally Fort Cromwell...lots of history - here are the kids by a huge anchor - then Jason explained the 'ramparts' neat since it was the 3rd of July - it was pretty hot and Grace had about had it with walking in the heat when we stopped by the 'giddy' house...tipped over in an earthquake.

Ocho Rios Branch

We increased the population at the Ocho Rios Branch by 8! The kids enjoyed Primary and since it was Fast Sunday we enjoyed the testimonies of the members and blessing of three baby boys... one of which has a mother and father in the home. Here are the sweet young women we got to work with there - felt like our home branch! Good Sunday!!

Hardy Family arrive in Jamaica

The Hardy Family arrived in Montego Bay on Saturday, June 30th - we stopped at Columbus Discovery Park on the way to Ocho Rios -- stay tuned for more!
