Today was a fun day exploring the area of Wilmington! This morning we went down to Wrighstville Beach for a morning swimming in the ocean and relaxing on the beach. We stayed out there for around 2.5 hours. That may have been of a mistake. Despite the constant reminders to put on sunscreen, some students didn’t heed the warning, or didn’t apply well enough. We definitely had some students get sunburn. So this afternoon, we were supposed to spend a good portion of the time in downtown Wilmington. Instead, we took things a little slower and just relaxed at the house for the afternoon, while applying a lot of aloe!
Finally, after dinner, we went on a sunset boat ride up and down the Cape Fear River! It was hot, but also really relaxing to be out on the water. The kids seemed to enjoy it.
Now, tonight we are spending time getting packed up and ready to leave for home in the morning. Our goal is to be back at the church by 12 noon tomorrow! It really has been a fanstastic Trip this week! Everyone has seemed to enjoy themselves and we’ve accomplished a lot. Thank you all again for all the prayers.
