Our Bus & Park Adventure

So today....we created a fun adventure for the kids. We took the BUS to the park downtown. The kids were so excited on the way there. Waiting for the bus to come was no big deal. When they got on the on the bus they were so excited (Adelei was a little scared with how fast the bus went).

The park ended up being super fun. We ended calling up two boys from church that live close by and they were able to make it to the park. Then we brought a bat and balls. Playing baseball was a huge hit with the kids at the park. KJ ended up with a little line of kids waiting their turn to bat the ball.

On the way home it was funny because we were waiting at the bus stop with a poster size picture of a MacDonald hamburger. Yes, we were hungry and I admit I really wanted a hamburger. We just don't pick up stuff for dinner. So I came home and made Chinese Chicken salad. The kids love it and love helping me get things all ready!

Enjoy the Video!

This is what Kris said about our day... "Comparing the reaction of the kids in the parks we have been to in the last two days...i would have to say that baseball attracted more attention then the other b-ball we were playing. We came across about 6 kids that were loving the opp. to smash a ball...after a few hours, one kid boldly declared, "I am the king of ...this game!" He did hit some bombs...gotta love the childlike spirit..."
