mountain children

today we drove up Entonto Mountain and played with a large group of sweet kids. when we first pulled aside an open field, there were only a few little boys....then out of nowhere more and more children showed up. we played "football" and more clapping games; im getting really good at them i think! we played a version of duck duck goose...they all wanted to hold my hand. one of the guys with us, Sami, suggested they each hold onto one of my fingers....my hands felt like they were being ripped apart. they faught over just being near me. these kids were so loving and craved attention. they kissed my cheeks over and over before i got in my bus to leave. oh my goodness i will miss this place!
