Day 6 in Belize

Day 6 is under way and the kids are busy finishing up our projects at the St. Jude School.  They completed the fence around the garden yesterday so today everyone is focusing on finishing the 2nd picnic table and getting them both painted.  After our work is done our team will have the chance to pass out all of the great things they brought for the kids.  They are so excited to pass their items out and we can't wait to see how happy it makes all of the school kids.

This afternoon we are driving about an hour from Maya Center to visit some Mayan Ruins.  Juan was talking to us a little bit last night about what we would see and our group is very excited to go.  There is a very small percentage of people in the world that will ever see these ruins so we feel pretty honored to be able to visit.  I'm sure we will have some fantastic photos to post next time.

Tonight we have the big task of packing our things up!!  The kids have made themselves at home in their rooms so there is quite a lot of cleaning up and packing to be done.  Tomorrow morning we will have the chance to do a little shopping in Maya Center before we head to Tobacco Caye.  Everyone has enjoyed their time in Maya Center but we are all really looking forward to getting to Tobacco Caye.  Last night when Mr. Hunter told the kids that the trip was half over they all looked shocked and saddened.  They are all having a fabulous time with each other.  Mr. Hunter and I are very proud of them all.  Not once have they complained about the heat or the bugs!  Everyone has remained healthy and applying bug spray and sunscreen has become part of our morning ritual.  It will probably feel weird to come home and not put on bug spray and sunscreen!

Thank you for all of your posts - we read them all together during lunch and it has become one of the kids favorite times of the day!
