Meliah played softball in Goroka (sun cookim face)

Meliah went with a small caravan (police escorted which made mom and dad feel better) to Goroka for the first of two softball tournaments of their season. They won! Well, they only had two other teams to play against.

The more important thing is that they had a lot of fun and built memories and relationships. Meliah didn’t put any sunscreen on (even though mom sent her with our best stuff) and her face got a pretty bad sunburn. In Tok Pisin you would say “sun cookim face”! So she had a week of horror as she had to go to school with the various stages of peeling and cracked skin. But she is over it for the most part now and all is well once again in teenager land ;).
