Today I had the fun opportunity to babysit for my friends Cindy and Grant. They have three kids--Jimmy, Suzy, and Eva. I've taken care of them a few times and each time we go and have some fun. With this weekend being Draper Days, I thought it would be fun to take the kids to Draper Park and see the excitement.
When we got to the park--there was so much going on--but it ended up being fun! We started out by checking out the reptiles and then we found the blow up party things--the big slide was the ultimate favorite. We also had snow cones and found some fun games to do at the children's area (those were free! Way to go Draper--cheap prizes and crafts that didn't cost a thing!)
On the way out...we passed the ponies. They had asked to ride them on the way in--but I told the kids that we needed to make smart choices with our money and that we should look to see what we wanted to spend it on first. We still had enough left to ride the ponies on the way out--and how could I tell that little face no! Eva has a face for getting what she wants!
Even though I don't have my own kids--I'm grateful for the opportunities I have to spend time with other children! I'm also grateful for the chances to return kids! But--it is fun to have the chance to spend time with God's choice spirits--how blessed I am to be in education and see how wonderful they are. Thanks Cindy for letting me experience life with them!
