Afternoon at the Water Park

Now it's Gwen's turn to blog!  Went to Battambang's water park today with 120 kids from the 5 Asia's Hope orphanages.  What a blast!  The boys just swim in their underwear and the little girls are in long shorts, no shirts.  The sun is very hot; don't know for sure but I'd bet it was nearly 90 degrees again today.  The little boys liked hanging on to Vernon and Todd in particular.  The "park" consisted of two swimming pools, one shallow and one deep.

We had our first somewhat leisurely evening since arriving.  You'll have to ask Judy and Jennifer about their "blind massages."  My laundry returned from the Cambodian cleaners -- including two pairs of socks and panties that weren't mine and yellow stains on my white capris.  Oh well!  Dinner was at a place called The Bungalow.  Emily didn't care for the spider in the bathroom!  Yes, we are having adventure!!

Tomorrow is the Haven of Hope dedication ceremony.  Everyone is pumped up for it -- us, kids and staff alike.  I expect to cry more happy tears again.  First God breaks your heart for these orphans and then he fills you up with pure joy.
