"It's the SIMPLE things in life that count."

Marriage, family, friends...relationships.
Peace, Hope, Faith...LOVE.

But there is a lot of laundry, dishes, tears & laughter, messes, homework,
hair to fix, teaching, learning, stress and fun along the way!

Brit's 6th grade trip

Britta got to spend 3 days in Sedili Besar, Malaysia 
for her CWW (classroom without walls) trip last week.
Since she is such an outdoor/animal lover, this adventure was right up her alley!

here she is with friend Hana

this is a 40ft. snake that was found in the village
it was killed by the locals and hung out to dry so
they could use the skin to make things

typical Brit pic these days

they toured the rubber and palm oil plantation
and learned how the rubber is extracted from the trees

of course they were near the ocean too!

they learned how to weave palm leaves


these are the cabins they stayed in

kite making


Brit found every creature under the sun and named them all...
here she is with new found friend, Dumpling the frog

they toured a Muslim cemetery

the brighter your house the more wealthy you are
these folks must have a lot a dough

mangrove
these protect the shore form Tsunami's

this is where they manufacture bird nest soup and drink
I guess it's some great delicacy here and it's made from bird saliva :0
these poor birds live out their lives here being used for there spit

Brit learned a lot about the rocky shore and all the creatures that live here
barnicles, snails, crabs, starfish, anemones
seeing all these creatures was her favorite part of the trip

cute girls all ready to visit the jungle

Brit and Bailey
Brit worked it so that she got to stay in Bailey's cabin
she pulled the homesick card...good one.

It was so fun to see how excited Britta was to share all her experiences.
This girl loves to learn and particularly gets excited about anything to do with nature or animals.
 Thanks to an amazing school for this great learning opportunity she got to have.

Up next, her 1st girls camp ever in a few weeks...and it's in Bali!

  1. 6th grade camp in Malaysia and YW camp in Bali! Unreal! I think I would have died on the spot if I had seen that snake. Doesn't matter if it was already dead! What AMAZING experiences you guys are having.
