I ran on the hilly course early this morning with Maureen. It was a nice, easy 12.4 miles in about an hour and thirty-seven minutes.
Benjamin didn't have school today, so he had his cousin Satori over this morning and the twins, Blake and Nicholas, over this afternoon. I took the three boys across the street to the park this afternoon. We played basketball, played on the jungle gym, and ended up rolling down a big hill about thirty times each.
There is something special about three Kindergarten kids playing in the park. They are so innocent. They love to explore. They forgive quickly. The laugh a lot. They weren't beating themselves up over yesterday or worrying about tomorrow. They were simply living in the present. Us older people can learn a lot from watching them. Maybe that is what Jesus means when he tells us to become like children. (Matthew 18:3)
Meanwhile, back at the house, Chase (Nicholas and Blake's younger brother) and David were playing. Chase is a few months older than David, but they liked each other and played well together.
