I've organized a play group for the last few years. It is comprised of the most amazing families. The moms are my dearest friends, and incredible examples for me to follow. They encourage me and love my kids. It is a privilege to be a part of this group and to watch the development of godly, childhood friendships. It always amazes me how kind these toddlers are to one another.
There are many families in this group, but usually only a few show up each week. This week, almost everyone came. We went to Municipal Park and the MK Nature Center. Kedrick and Victor and their many friends enjoyed running around together in the grass, playing with bugs and sticks, watching the fish, and climbing on the playground equipment. The kids get along so well and are always excited for an opportunity to play together.
I always love that moment when they first see each other. They pause briefly, then their faces light up, followed by screams and squeals of delight as they run towards each other. It would be cool if we all showed that kind of enthusiasm about our friends.
I was about to post some pic's from this wonderful adventure and decided against it :-) Yours are SO much better than mine! Thank you for posting these and for all of the work you put into playgroup! It is such a blessing to us too when we get to spend time with everyone!
