Thanksgiving in the D.R.


We visited Melynn in the Dominican Republic for Thanksgiving. We thought it would be fun and interesting to see first hand what she is up to and to see her daily environment. Ashtyn, Wil and Charles met us at the Miami airport and we flew to the island together.
Messing around with Uncle Jaxon at the airport
On our way to Melynn's house. We aren't in Kansas anymore!
Notice the bowls on the ladies heads

The street that Melynn lives on
Melynn's house

Melynn's bedroom, her bunk was on the opposite wall (not pictured)

The store across the street from her house where should would be her kola :)
The school where Melynn volunteered



Teacher, I have a question!
Aaron was helping this one boy a little bit while we were visiting



Pool time with Charles!
Some of the kids were taking a refresher course

Chill time at the hotel

Melynn took us to one of her favorite beaches.
The waves were intense so we couldn't take Charles far into the water.







More chill time but this time the kiddy pool allowed us to relax some too!



We stayed at an all inclusive resort. The food was just okay.

We had a really nice visit and I am so glad that we could be with Melynn.
