We walked all the way up the giant rocks leading to a path made of coral and limestone revealing the most panoramic views and a stairway down into the open coral cave.

Breathtaking views…

We stood here holding hands with kids looking out the ocean for a while.  We were the only people on this beach… When the wave crashed into the rocks, it sounded like a rolling thunder. Staring at this awe-inspiring beauty…I naturally praised God…

“Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.” – Revelatinos 19:6

We shouted, “we love you, Jesus” when the waves crashed into the rocks.  A moment I will always remember and hope that kids will too.

We are venturing out to other islands today.

Taking a ferry out to North Caicos.

Then we rented a car to Middle Caicos

We planned on walking to “the shopping mall” area in town, but the kids quit walking after 10 min. We spent most of today swimming so everyone was pretty tired. Of course, determined me ended up walking to Salt Mill and back by myself which took about 2 hours. It was a nice time spent reflecting…

Snorkeling at Smith Reef!

Chloe and I went further in later by ourselves and saw the most amazing colorful fish here. We held hands and spent about an hour snorkeling together. Her first real snorkeling experience that we will treasure forever!

I found her all dressed, ready to go out and reading early in the morning in the balcony.

Reading by the pool in the afternoon again…

Dinner on the beach

We got up at 3:30 am to come back to the airport…Fingers crossed.

What started out to be a very exciting day turned into a complete disaster. We’ve been counting down towards today for months to spend our spring break in Turks & Caicos. Our flight got delayed so we sat on the plane for three hours then we had to deplane and go to another gate and they cancelled our flight. Not going into so much details, basically we spent the entire day at the airport and came back home…

I have to say though, our kids were super patient and didn’t really get upset. They mostly waited reading books, playing their games and talking to each other. During devotion tonight Chloe prayed “please let us not get upset because this is nothing compared to your pain on the cross to die for our sin, …”

Andrew and I both looked at each other after she was done, with wide eyes. Wow, we are doing something right by the grace of God.
