Today we had a great time swimming at the beach and playing in the sand. Lots of shrieks of delight were heard. The staff and counselors were constantly on the alert making sure all the kids were safe, and were fanned out across the edge of the deeper water (in the ropes). Everyone seemed to be having fun. The kids may lose the privilege of bringing canteen items to the beach tomorrow because they didn't pick up their garbage right away until they're counselor had The Ash Boys clean up the beach. These are all learning experiences that we try to communicate with grace. Please pray for continued safety at the beach and for our lifeguard and her family, as her grandpa is not doing well health-wise.
