Swimming in December

One of the many really great things about living in Uganda is that it is always nice weather. Never too cold. Never TOO hot (though the sun is quite intense). AND it is swimming weather all year round- so plans are never interrupted based on the month.

One of the best memories from this holiday (so far) is getting to treat the P6 with a little outing. We took the kids to town and planned a meal with all their favorite foods: spaghetti, apples, and banana bread.

Then we took them to Mt. Elgon Hotel to go swimming. I can't beging to describe the joy-filled squeels and laughter as they eased their way into the pool- many for their first attempt at swimming. They were very cautious at first, until I reassured them that they were all tall enough to touch the bottom. Some even started to get the very basics of swimming down (well kicking their feet and moving their arms at the same time- all while being held up by a floatie)







It was a splendid day and I hope to slowly be able to take out all the kids for a special treat.
