Go back in time a couple weeks… We had Melissa’s parents here with us.

We decided that for their visit we would also take them outside of Port-Au-Prince and do some mountain climbing in the hills of Furcy, Haiti.  After Run For Life we were planning to take a few days off in Furcy but we delayed it a bit to wait for Melissa’s parents. Furcy is quite a trek especially for our little Mits :-D  After a few stops we did make it.

Mountain Hiking

Once up the mountain we did some hiking and got to talk a bit with the locals.  The one kid in the picture was screaming after seeing us “blan” white people.  Poor kid.  I would be frightened too :-D

After Melissa did some weights we found some what might have been OLD time TapTap’s pulled by horses!

Beach Day with Workers

We did a beach day last year with the workers and this year we scheduled a day with them while Mel’s parents were here.  A friend of ours from church is starting a ministry out on this beach.  It’s very new and rustic as it had no bathrooms or running water.  He was soooo gracious to invite us to bring our workers.  It was a much needed time as our workers had been having some small quarrels between each other.  It was a good team-building :-D

Melissa’s dad had made up some games to play as well!  You will see one of the games was a sandcastle building contest.  The highest sandcastle wins!
