Unexpected Fun!

It is pretty safe to say ice skating was not a part of the expectations that Brianna had for her short term missions trip to Africa. In fact, we'd bet that they are the first CBM volunteers to go ice skating as part of an African STM trip in the history of Canadian Baptist Ministries. Way to be the first!!!!! This afternoon, the girls joined our family for some of our kid's summer vacation fun as we returned to the Panari Sky Hotel's "Solar Ice Rink" to have a second ice skating lesson (The first was on Canada Day).

It was a lot of fun, and we had far less crashes and spills than our first time out. In fact, Tristan and Emma no longer needed the support of the penguins and steel support bars. They are all becoming much more confident on skates!

Tristan did have a few tumbles,

but he was keeping up with the adults!

This past weekend, we also celebrated our 13th Wedding Anniversary. We appreciated having a night away at the Sankara Hotel in Westlands as Brianna watched our kids.
