The rest of Saturday spent in Trinidad

(I apologize it's taken me over a month since we've been home to finish up the last few days of our 1st trip but, it's been crazy and I want to do my best to describe it, since they were AMAZING!)


So as if Saturday wasn't exciting enough with spending the day at Maracas Beach in the evening we were still on the run!  It turns out that the congregation that Camille Dinoo belongs to is sign language and they were having a congregation party that night!  Apparently in Trinidad they do things much different than they do where we are from, because the party started at 7 pm!  Which would be perfectly fine for us but, it was really asking a lot of the kids to behave, let alone stay awake, especially after playing in the ocean for hours!  But, they really wanted us all to go and we figured it was definitely going to be a great time for us to meet more in the organization and to have a blast!
We had a wonderful time!  It was such a pleasure to get to meet all the brothers and sisters, some were hearing some deaf but regardless they were all so welcoming and they definitely knew how to party!!!





So as you can see, the brother to the far left is making announcements and the brother to the right is signing the announcements. (Including introducing our family as visitors who have just finished needgreating in Guyana!)











 I think this easily may be the first dance Daddy has ever had with his little girl!  She was a natural!






So Rayah danced all the rest of the evening on my hip! We weren't totally familiar with the Trini music but, it was still a blast! Mama LOVES to dance!










If I remember correctly, this was the electric slide!








Rayah literally fell asleep dancing!  She had so much fun until she just crashed!  Sister Dinoo held her the rest of the party  :)
So here I am dancing with a deaf sister who was delightful!  They had the music very loud so that they could feel the beat and boy did they enjoy it!!!








This was a very sweet deaf sister who taught the boys how to sign their names and say a couple other things too!
They all just loved dancing and dancing!  They definitely were not shy, the floor was full of  brothers and sisters!









We were all exhausted but, so glad we came!
It was awesome to be exposed to another language, one more way we got to experience our worldwide brotherhood, which gives us so much appreciation!
Much thanks to the Dinoo family for inviting us!
