School is out now, but the kids still get to come to summer camp. This consists of 3 days of learning about letters and numbers and such, and then one fun day! MonteLlano is 15 minutes from the beach, but many of our kids don’t get to go very often, so we get to take them! We loaded 25 3-5 year olds into Juan’s guagua and off we were to Long Beach in Puerto Plata.

After getting the kids all unloaded and ready to go, we ran to the beach!
One of the fun games the boys had was rolling in the sand to get as dirty as possible, then running and jumping into the water to rinse off.

A few of the younger kids had no desire to get in the water. Johan tried to get Jemsy to get his feet wet, and eventually succeeded.
 |
 |
Darling Frid also had no desire to get wet, so we built sand mountains instead and put various “cosas” in them (her name for everything unknown… una cosa). Jemsy helped by bringing water one spoonful at a time.

 |
Some of the other ones built sand structures as well.

And of course, we just had fun playing in the water.

Wilton really loved the water, and rolling in the sand.

Leuri, Yasmaidi and Antony also enjoyed their time.

All in all, not a bad day’s work. Summer camp starts again next week for the older kids!
