play

i am ever so thankful when i see the kids around here

p-l-a-y-i-n-g

big

small

old

young

girl

boy

whatever and whoever!

this is exactly how i grew up on herblew road.

kids everywhere

playing every sport imaginable

making up games

playing old games

busy

laughing

arguing

building relationships

making memories

outside

good,

old-fashioned

fun.

 there are so many other things these kids

could be doing.

i'm just glad that they are here doing this

and not somewhere else doing that.
