Craft Time

We did our first craft today with the kids. It was one of those paper plate crafts. I belief in the KISS method (keep it simple stupid). When you have such a large range in age it can be very tricky. Some of the kids that were old enough they should have known how to use scissors were lost right off the bat. We finally got the cutting done and it went a lot smoother after that. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of their creations. (sorry)

I'll try again next week.

Thank you to my cousin Liesl Waldrum for sending three boxes of craft supplies with almost none that was a duplicate of what I have already received from other generous helpers.

Sun Rise

Lee gets Sunday and Monday off from work. Today is Monday but when you get old like us you can't sleep late like you did when you was young. We have watched muti sun sets but not a sun rise. We were up anyway so we watched the sun come up. Equally pretty going up or down.

Trailers

Trailers are very important for hauling anything on Kwaj. Just like the bikes, there are all kinds of trailers. This one is to haul kids but a lot of people buy them to haul groceries even though the grocery store delivers your groceries. The rubbermaid type trailers are very popular for not getting your cargo wet. Some trailers are hand made others are bought. Some haul heavy loads, some haul loads of 100 pounds or less. A lot of people have more than one type of trailer.

Bicycles

With no personal cars on the island. Bicycles are very important to getting around. The pink one is mine. Baskets on your bike are a necessity since it is the only way to haul anything around. There is every kind of bicycle you could imagine on Kwaj. The tall handle bars are very popular. They lean on the handlebars with their arms as they pedal. Probably about as close to reclining as you can get without a leg rest. I forgot to get a pic of the three wheeled bikes. I'll try that one another day.

A Bible for Each Child

Thank you to Audrey Mauck and the Edmond Church of Christ young families class once again. We now have given a Bible to each and every child who comes to church with us. The little boy in the front that is holding his Bible up to his head was really proud of his Bible. He managed to get in almost every picture I took showing off his Bible. Sweet little girls and one proud boy. Thank you also to Monica Wiggins and her family for sending some toys, clothes and craft supplies. They love it when you take their picture.
