Here on Jax Base there is a group of kids that often sit at our fence. They call out to anyone that walks by. They know each of our names and call out until we answer. They just want our attention and will keep it as long as they can. Most of the time there are a few of them at the fence by 6am and some stay as late as 9pm. They will stay as late as people are out. They are fun to talk with and are helping us learn Creole. They ask for whatever we will give them. Coconuts, cookies, or to use the paddle boat. It is fun to play and laugh with them.

Saturday night a few of us showed a movie on the beach. We found 'Surf's Up' in french. SP has a projector, so it was nice to be able to show the movie so all the kids could see. 17 kids showed up. We bought some rolls and cookies. We made each one 2 sandwiches and gave them a pack of cookies. They loved the movie. It was so much fun to see them laugh and be so focused on it.

The next day they were asking if we were going to show another movie. We need to find some other kid movies to show. They need to be in french, so they can understand. Stayed tuned...
