Zoo Atlanta and Playing Soccer

Yesterday we had a busy day. Parker Reid, Landon, Sydney and I met Bryce's school class at the Atlanta Zoo. It was a crazy day. His teacher split all the class into groups. I was in a group with 5 boys and 5 parents. Not only those but I had my other three with me. It was fun and relatively uneventful!! I was pushing Sydney in the stroller and pulling the wagon with the other two when someone walked by and said you have your hands full. I just looked at them and smiled. We had picnic lunch in the park and then drove back home. Later that day we had to finish homework. Spelling Tests are Thursday!!

Last night we had church. We are trying something a little different on Wednesdays. Bryce's teacher wanted him to interact with some refugee children. We enjoyed so much playing soccer with 7 little boys from Sudan and a country near Iraq (I have to look up the spelling). It was so much fun. Landon was able to play too!! The boys played very hard and I even was able to play too. After an hour of practice we had snacks. I had made some peanut butter sandwiches and brought fruit. The children devoured it. I think that some of them have large families living in very small apartments with limited food. One kid stuck a whole sandwich in his mouth (I was so afraid he would choke on it) and then he ate 4 more. I think he was hungry. Well, anyway that was the end of our very busy day. Today I am resting and relaxing!
