Pure Joy

Remember going to Disneyland when you were a kid?  The anticipation of getting to the theme park, the nervous excitement that almost made you want to throw up, the giddy energy running through your body?  Those same feelings were felt last Saturday by the kids and students at 2Five2.  Over the course of February and March students were asked to have better behavior while in class and to listen and respect their teachers more.  For those who did those things, their reward was a morning at Logos to use the swimming pool, play on a grass soccer field, and use the amazing playground.  Thankfully we were able to take over 90 students last Saturday for their morning of fun, and I have never seen such pure joy packed into 3 short hours.

The kids swam in a pool for the first time in their lives, (for some even the van ride to Logos was an event as they have never been in a car before), and the playground we showed them they could use was something that made their little jaws drop.

It was chaos.  Wonderful chaos.  We had kids running so hard they wouldn't stop to breathe. We had to remind them that they had the whole morning, so make sure to rest a little and drink some water.

Below are some pictures of the kids playing soccer (please note the green underwear uniform, which is my favorite site of the day) and kids on the slides.  Also we have two videos, one of the morning prayer before we got started (some were so excited and eager to get going they took off their clothes before even being told when it was going to be their turn to use the pool), and then the epic amount of kids on the slide.
