Day at the Beach!

This past Friday I accompanied about 40 other caregivers and over 100 of our disabled children from Jerusalem at the beach. I wasn't sure how it would all work, but the day was very organized and minimally chaotic. I'd say the most chaotic part of the day was lunch time! There was rice flying everywhere! But we made it through without any major mishaps. All the kids had such a wonderful time. The day was filled with laughter and smiles. Below are some pictures from the day!
A bunch of the residents in their "bath suits" as they refer to them here in Jamaica.
Two of my favorite boys patiently waiting while we get everyone ready for the water.
Everyone was covered in sand!

Another volunteer and I with Claude, one of our older and by far wisest resident at Jerusalem. We spent awhile with him in the water. He was so so thankful. Loving the water!

There were so many smiles!
