thinking like a kid again

The boys at JEC (Jovenes en Camino) are currently enjoying their school break, so - although they do have daily chores & responsibilities - they're mostly just enjoying their time off. Playing board games, playing fùtbol, playing marbles, playing tag. See a theme? It just amazes me how much energy they have to play. From sun-up to way-past-sun-down! And it's been so fun for Bart and me to try to think of activities and games we can play with them, because we feel like kids again. 


Below are a few shots from the past couple weeks at the boys' home. The first is from when we worked on a 550-piece, fùtbol-themed puzzle that my parents gave Bart for Christmas. It was a Hit. The second is a water balloon volleyball game (that brought back many good memories for me!). And the third is a photo of Ronald, the Director, with boys from both teams playing in an intramural Championship Game yesterday. It was intense, in a really fun sort of way!
