Puddle Jumpers

This summer our church preschool department has done several activities that the kids could participate in. I have posted some pictures of Brayden and his friends at the water features in Bridge Street, Maggie Moo's Ice Cream, and from bowling. Brayden had so much fun at each activity playing with his friends and I enjoyed meeting new people, and chatting with old friends while the kids played. Brayden is not a child that will run through the water and get soaking wet, he is usually scared to get wet, but I was proud of him that he played and was wet at the end of the day! After playing in the water the kids went to Maggie Moo's for ice cream. I have posted a picture of Brayden and his friend Emery Claire posing next to Maggie Moo's and being silly. Emery Claire is the daughter of my friend Emily. Emily babysat my sister and I when I was in middle school. Now we have children that are close to the same age and Brayden and Emery Claire are great friends. It's so neat to think that Emily was at one time my babysitter and now I consider her one of my best friends, that our children are great friends, and that we now watch each other's children. I'm blessed to have her and her family as friends. Today we went bowling. I never thought about it until we pulled up at the bowling lanes, but Brayden has never been bowling! He was so excited! He did really good and had a great time socializing with his friends. He did pretty good, he scored over 80 in his first game. I was very proud of him. After the first game he and the rest of the kids were over bowling (as you can see on Brayden and Landon's faces in one of the pictures) but after running around for a bit and a quick snack, all the kids seemed to perk back up. It has been great to have these activities to do! I am thankful to our preschool directors for organizing them.
