We started our day off early, with some of us going to a nearby bakery and eating Cruzan treats like raisin rolls, coconut drops, and guava pastries! Then we headed to the pool (which was conveniently located right next to the ocean) and enjoyed the water with the residents of Flamboyant Gardens, an independent living community. We played games like dominoes, partook in dancing, and were blessed with an incredible spread of food prepared by the staff and residents of Flamboyant Gardens. Afterwards, we went to a local ice cream shop where we tried flavors like gooseberry, lemongrass, and guava. We rounded the day off with a fancy dinner, which we enjoyed courtesy of the North Carolina Synod! There, we were joined by some guests of honor…a hummingbird and some wiley cats. 🐈⬛
