oh so thankful!

greetings friends! just had a great last few days, actually a great last week. had some friends come in town to visit and i got to play hostess with the mostess:) here are some photos from our time down by the water. it was really a nice day and the water was nice and relatively warm. this was my first time to actually step foot in the water since i have been here. above you can the fisherman battling the waves! also above is my friend and one of her boys. it took him a bit to get a feel for the water. it was his first time to water like this!

i had to get a shot of my feet in the water:) by the end of our time there we were all pretty wet from the calves down. the water kept creeping up on us. the little guy finally decided to take the risk and get into the water. he loved it! i was honored to be a part of his first time in this kind of water! he kept stomping up and down in delight. it was hard not to follow suit. i jumped up and down a bit myself. :) it was also fun to watch the local families play near the water and take photos of each other. what a wonderful gift from Him.
