      Yes, they are. It’s amazing that they come voluntarily. What’s heartbreaking is when we have to send home the three and four-year-olds because they’re too young.

      Yes, all photos on the blog are mine, unless otherwise noted. One of my photos has been used in a volunteer ad for the organization already. I’m working on improving, but it is still trial and error for me. I will get some of me eventually!

      It always seems to be the bigger kids who want a ride, but how can I say no?

    Beautiful faces! Why do they start classes with a game? I adore that and think it must be a motivator for the kids.

      Yes, it really works. The kids come and can’t wait for us to bring the games out. They know that after 15 minutes we’ll start class, so they’re ready to learn then. We all sit and play with them, so it’s a great way to get to know the kids.

    I love the idea of games before class! I bet that smoothie was delicious!

      The smoothies are becoming a habit. Did I mention there are hammocks in an upstairs patio at the smoothie restaurant? We place our order downstairs, head upstairs to the hammocks, and the smoothies are brought right to us. What service!
