Swimming for the first time in PNG!

Thank God for helpers! Our Ukarumpa "family," James and Natalie, as well as our wonderful "mother's helper," Dilu, came with us. The pool is at a nearby restaurant. It's a beautiful spot! It was nice not to cook either. :)

Marcie refused to wear a shirt. From now on it's obligatory - no sunscreen is enough to protect her fair skin!

Seth, Will, Gracie

"How much fun is this??!!!" - Will, with David behind him

David's delight is evident in his little trotting run and huge grin

Three boys in a row: David, Will, Seth, with Gracie lying on the edge of the pool, Isaac on the far left, and Marcie's head barely visible, lower left.

Isaac and Dilu were a huge help because they could touch the whole time and help babies in and out and around.

Sleeping David and Seth with a very-nearly-asleep Gracie between them. The sun and fun wore us all out!

      He is still fighting off the remnants of it and I'm in top notch form once again. Yes, it was a very nasty flu...thank you for thinking of us! It's a bit tougher on us "oldsters" to shake...the mind is willing but the body isn't. LOL

    Looks quite a bit spiffier than when we were there 8 years ago! A fun day...and NO COOKING is ALWAYS a big PLUS!
