After church Gordon and his family took us as their guests to the Lion's Club annual meeting. We rode on a beautiful 30+ foot yacht about 30 minutes across the lagoon to Enemanit - a beautiful private beach. The boat ride and time at Enemanit were thanks to a local businessman supporting the Lion's Club. While the club had it's annual meeting, we enjoyed the beautiful clear waters of the ocean. It rained on the way over, and several other times during the afternoon - but the sun kept coming back out between the rain showers too. Then the 25 of us that were there enjoyed a delicious potluck lunch to go with the chicken they barbequed over an open flame right on the beach. There was a big thatched roof pavillion and several bamboo wood and thatched roof little shelters to stay in to get out of the rain. It would be a good movie set for sure, because that is what it felt like - something out of a movie or novel.

This is the boat docked at Enemanit.

The beautiful sandy beach above, full of interesting shells, roosters, chickens, pigs and dogs. Below you see Boston laughing in the water with Gordon's mother-in-law Donjean.
Here's a video of Boston running down the beach and into Peter's arms. What a terrific time we had and in such a beautiful place. Bye for now - Lois for us five

Your Sunday sounds like a wonderful, relaxing day. I'm so glad you have been able to do fun and enjoyable things while you wait. Boston is sure a cutie! I can hardly wait to meet him. Sounds like he and Hannah are already acting like siblings! Great picture of all 5 of you on the boat.

Lois, thanks for sharing such little details with us here at home. You're doing a marvelous job describing everything -- it feels like we're right there with you! You all look great and it sounds like everyone is doing well. I loved this video. I showed it to Jim and got all teary-eyed, especially at the end when Peter wraps Boston in his arms and kisses him. (Gaaaa -- I'm tearing up just thinking about it!!!) Love you all! - Karen
ReplyDeleteIt's Father's Day, and I can't think of a better way to appreciate what that means than to watch the video of Boston running into Peter's arms. Their smiles relay more than any words can say. What a day to remember!
