Today Scottie took us to the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. The coast of
New Zealand is absolutely breathtaking. He started out taking us and our favorite middle schoolers to a harbor that some really good dive spots are at. Then he had us pick up an object along the shore that represented God or how we relate to God. It was really neat to hear the kids who may or may not know God relate to Him. It opened the door for some conversations later. We then drove over to
Whale
Bay
Beach, which was even more incredible than I could have imagined! We climbed up a large rock for a bird’s eye view of the beaches. Then we walked over to Mermaid Cove, which was part of Whale’s Bay that had these crazy black rocks for sand. Then we hiked through mud and mountains over to the other side of Whale’s Bay where we had lunch and played some beach games. The water was way too cold to swim in, but the weather was absolutely perfect for a day lounging around the beach! Check out these pics!
