Our Weekend in Portrush

This last Friday we got a phone call from one of our friends asking if we'd like to join herself and a group of others on a trip up to Portrush (a very touristy city on the Northern coast).  Of course we said yes!  So we packed our bag and up we went!  The last update on this blog was of the North coast in February.  The weather then was cold, windy, and wet.  But this past weekend we had sunny, warm, and dry weather conditions!  It really was perfect out.
Saturday was chuck full of "firsties" for me.  I started them off with this:

My first time on a ride (I managed to hold my lunch!)

Then we went to a white-rock beach and we did this:

Me climbing my very first sand dune

I was very happy when we made it to the top!

Then we did this:

While watching our friends do this:

And we finished off the day with a walk on the beach:

On Sunday we went to Port Stewart and Bill and I walked around (and around, cause I got my left and right mixed up and we went the wrong direction for a couple of miles).  And then we met up with our group and watched them do this for a bit:

(Scuba diving lessons)

Then we went here to "crab fish".

We didn't catch any crabs (hardy-har-har) because Bill broke the line on the first attempt.  All in all, we had an amazing weekend with some really cool people!  I'm very thankful for the beauty of the land and the friends that God has blessed us with in our time here.

Much love to you all,

Katie & Bill
