A Perfect Day!

I was blessed to wake up this morning with torn up feet, a sore body, and a heart full and overflowing.
Yesterday I was blessed and had the opportunity to stop and go out and enjoy the island with friends. Blake, Matt, Tamara, and I took the afternoon off and I got to take them around and let them experience Y.S. Falls and Little Ochie for the first time!
The Falls
Blake going off the rope swing.
It looks like he is falling out of control, but he is actually mid flip
(Sorry you have to wear gloves to swing off the rope and mine were to big and got in the way of this picture)
I opted out of flipping and just enjoyed a normal jump off the rope:)
Matt flipping off Rocks into the falls
Tamara and I as we are waiting on the guys
We climbed up to this layer of the falls then our "guide" was going to take our picture but there was only one, not very big, rock to stand on to take this picture so we are all trying to hold each other on and not fall off while the picture is taken.
We then jumped off the rock we were standing on for the picture and fought the current to swim up under the falls.
The picture once we all made it up under the falls.
After a few hours of swimming we drove to the south coast to eat at Little Ochie
Little Ochie is well known for the "BEST" seafood and very fresh. So fresh you go and pick out what you want them to cook up for you. These were Blake's options for Crab.

As we waited for our food we walked around the beach and had people from around the area come and entertain us with there different talents.
Yesterday was Matt's last day as a summer intern with us on the island.
I was glad we could get out and have SO MUCH FUN on his last day.
The Perfect Ending to a Perfect Day!
Praise Jesus for good friends who are there to help me stop
and get me out, those who fill my day with so much fun,
and my heart with so much Joy.
