Feeling on top of the world, even by the ocean!


All over Ontario, there are rock formations called which the natives used to form to show others which direction where to go. Here, on the beach, someone had made a rock formation that looks like a man and woman sitting at a table!

A morning at the beach!

Anna knows she's cute





Harriet






Chigamba's getting barried in the sand!






Jacob covered Jerome's face with sand! I like it, becuase the sand makes these black faces look light colored!

Ontario!!

Sometimes, life looks better from the top of a tree





















David was trying to get up the guts to dive, but in the meantime decided to just look cute on the diving board!















Seriously, could our kids be any cuter? I don't think so!

We don't use shampoo in this house

These were the words of my current host family. As the host auntie was showing me the shower and I was getting the girls ready for thier showers, I asked if there was some shampoo that the girls could use. She looked at me and said, well we don't really use that stuff here, but maybe I can find some in the back of my closet. As she dug around for shampoo, my question to myself was, well then what the heck do you use to wash your hair? Surely, there must be some herb or something to replace it..but yuck! Then, as the girls were brushing thier teeth, the host families kids came in and started brushing thiers as well. As the kids began spitting in the bathtub, the host auntie explained, oh we just let them spit in the bathtub becuase they can't reach the sink..." Ewwww.... And then, poor Jenny, the host auntie asked her if she wouldn't mind babysitting for her kids while her and her husband went out to lunch. Today's Jenny's day off. The things people will ask of us... i couldn't believe it! :)
