The "zoo"

Up the mountain just a bit from our house is the Baptist Mission. This is a long standing mission here in Haiti that has alot of different programs, stores, churches, hospitals, etc. At this particular place, they have a greenhouse and a small "zoo". The zoo has 1 monkey, 1 iguana, some bunnies/rabbits, some fish, some peacocks, some ducks, a crocidile and a snake. I think that is the extent of the zoo! But, let me tell you, the kids loved it! They loved looking at the birds and the rabbits, but most of all the monkey! He was very active and squealing and "talking" and stuff. Jaryse was quite intrigued with him!

We went with our friends, Julie White and her children Abby and William. Abby and Ecrissa were in the same class last year, so Abby knows some signs, and the girls really enjoy playing with each other! There was also a small playground with a slide, a not functional swing, and a tree to climb! The kids enjoyed the slide and the tree! Ecrissa is a little daredevil and would have climbed to the top if I had let her!!!!!

We had lunch up there, some ice cream and lots of fun with friends and nature! Thank you Jesus for all of your gifts to us! We see them everyday in our lives and we felt them this day at the zoo too!
