Indian Ocean for the FIRST time!

Going to the ocean is always a treat for our family as we live in a country that is landlocked. However, Monica grew up right next to the Atlantic Ocean and misses getting to see the ocean. Our family was able to visit the ocean when we were in Florida in July so technically Nathan has been to the ocean already but he slept through his first visit! :) So, although the weather was much cooler and windy in South Africa last month, we had to visit the ocean for a few minutes. Our annual prayer retreat for our mission cluster was south of Durban, South Africa last month. Getting there took would take us almost nine hours by car so our family spent the night at Richard's Bay to break up the road trip for us. We had to stick our feet in the water and enjoy the ocean breeze for a few minutes, even though the wind about knocked us over! :)


Lacie absolutely loves the ocean but passed on getting in this time with the cooler temps.

Nathan's first time to be in the Indian Ocean. We missed the photo moment where he cried and was not too sure about getting his feet (and his pants!) all wet. It was too cute!
