We were in classes from 8am to 3pm on most days (we went until 5pm about once a week). After we picked the kids up from class, they had a snack in the "great room" before going out to play.
Ben loved to go back and forth across this bridge on the playground.
One of the MANY playgrounds on campus. This was the view from the front door of our quad.
Mikayla and Zach often terrified the other parents with their crazy antics on the playground. They climbed everything - whether or not it was intended for that. Both of them regularly climbed to the top of the swingset - I'll spare you the picture to avoid giving someone a heart attack... :)
After a busy day of playing, we all read a story together at bed time - often several stories. Ben has just started sitting still for story time so it is fun to have him join the family in this treasured time. In addition to the usual Bible stories, we have also been reading a lot of stories about children in other cultures or children who move to other cultures. They love these stories, and it hopefully will help them adjust to a new culture themselves.
