Holding a Cracked Bucket

what have we been doing the last few days?
Well....fasten your seat belts 'cause I'm gonna fire it all off quickly!

Sunday was busy and hot

jumping of a cliff
make-up tips
snorkeling in the Caribbean

              dear missionary friends

catching 2 starfish and holding them in a cracked bucket
                         all the way back over the mountain
