On Day 5 we rested. Mostly for the girls, this was the first time taking young kids on a short term team, we were unsure how they would handle it all. So we planned to have a rest day at this point, and we headed to the Nile River Camp. This place is literally on the Nile River! It's a great spot where the Segner's have formed a friendship with the owners and they are so gracious to them, I am so thankful they have a place like this fairly close to home to take a rest day and let the kids swim and have fun. Living on the other side of the world from all of your friends and family I am sure can get very hard, so a time for rest periodically is probably such a huge blessing!
The kids swam, went on a boat ride, swam in the Nile River (don't worry this part is perfectly safe!), and Jonathan swung off the rope swing into the Nile River! It was a great time to just reflect on the past couple of days and let the girls play and experience this beautiful part of the Lord's creation! I didn't take the big camera, so my iPhone pics and instagram pics will have to do!! :)
