Hope

Many of you have been curious about how Hope likes living in the Philippines and have asked for more photos of her...these are for you. 

Enjoy!

One of Hope's favorite things to do here in the Philippines is to spend our Family Days (Mondays) at the beach on another nearby island. She decided to practice snorkeling in the shower. (bath tubs are not common here) She used a bucket!

Hope was thrilled that her 'practice' paid off!!

Hope loves learning and has so much fun doing it. She is already reading.

Hope waiting patiently for the boat to be loaded and set for the islands!! This is a special day for us to unwind, refresh and have some fun. Hope loves the water and the sand!!

It's going to be a fun day!

Nope, it's not soup, it Hope's collection. She loves to collect shells and little sea creatures. Most of which she returns to the sea, thankfully!

Yummy snacks!!

 Tired from all the fun in the sun, Hope  fell asleep on the way back to the city on her Daddy's backpack.
