Day of rest

Off to church today.  We went to the Exmouth Christian Fellowship, who met in a little building in town, and held Sunday school in the children care centre across the road.  They filled the little building and there were heaps of kids.  They had a fantastic singing time with many of the songs written by the lady who led the worship and played the keyboard.  I really felt God present in their worship.

After church we went on a hunt for wooden clothes pegs.  Oskar found a wooden clothes peg in our collection and turned it into an aeroplane with some glue and paddlepop sticks.  So then all the kids got into it, so we needed some more wooden clothes pegs.  We tried IGA and the newsagents that also doubled as a toyworld agent to no avail.  We finally tracked some down at the home hardware down the road and bought their final two packets.  I think that was all the stores in Exmouth.  We now have a large fleet of planes.  We probably should have bought some more matches too, because we're now nearly out of them.

We sat at the beach at Exmouth for a bit using the phone and Internet, and watched a turtle swimming past up the shallows, sticking his head out for breath every now and then.

I showed the kids the photos I had sorted out last night, and Joseph said it looks a lot better when you are not so hot.  He said it's been a good trip, which was lovely to hear.

We went back to the beach in the evening, looking at the turtles and hunting for crabs.  Didn't see any crabs, and the turtles were all just sitting in the shallows still, so we came home and went to bed.
