The grassy place!
We leave tonight at 11pm our time, 4pm PST. We are headed to California or as Canaan calls it… “the grassy place.” Since we RARELY see grass here… Haha. Please pray for our trip. We will lay over in Spain for 5 hours. Then we have a 12 or 13 hour flight to LAX from Madrid. Pray that the boys would have a good time and that they would not go to stir crazy. We have bought them a few new fun things for each leg of the race and some of their favorite snacks. Pray for Norm too. We are praying that he wont have any kidney pain. He has had some level of pain nearly every day since the first one came out. Several times it has been very severe. So please pray that everything will stay put and not cause any pain. We have packed pain meds just in case.
Its been getting warmer here in Dakar with high humidity. We had a real feel temp yesterday of 102 degrees. Not too bad. But still warm enough to play in the water. Here are some pics of the kids enjoying a day off from school yesterday.

Oh my goodness, I can hardly believe those two boys will be playing on my lawn! I am so excited. I will be praying for you all. Especially praying that Norm can be pain free. Love you all.
Cute pictures of the boys playing in the water!! Have a great trip!
Wow!! This year make sure to let them know that California is the “Beach Place” too…they would so enjoy the little harbor in Ventura we used to call the “Kiddie Wave Beach” – so protected and gentle there most days! I can’t believe how grown up they are – what a joy to see you all soon!
Praying!
I can’t believe that 102 isn’t “too bad”!!! Sounds sooooo hot to me!
