My girls & me

My favorite thing to do on Wednesday nights is hang with my girls at Route 56. Even if I’ve had a less-than-pleasing day at work, I can’t help but feel relieved when they come running for a welcome hug—like six days without seeing each other was way too long. I admire how they wear their hearts on their sleeves.

This past Sunday the girls, two parent volunteers, and I served at Kids Fest, a place where kids come to play games and see stars like Batman, Spiderman, and Veggie Tales. The profit from ticket tales goes to Children and Families of Iowa. Our group was in charge of a hand print art project, face painting, bingo, and paper airplanes.
