Valentine's Day Party

Our homeschool co-op put on a Valentine's Day party for the kids from an orphanage and foster kids in the neighborhood. It was a great experience for the girls to play with and show love for these kids. The kids from the orphanage are all special needs children, and I think it's great for the girls to feel comfortable around people who God made different than them. I was proud of the kindness Evie and Winnie showed. (This was at a private park that a Thai pastor built for these kids. It even has a trampoline and two ponies!)

Evie & Winnie bouncing on the trampoline. They would lay some of the disabled children on the trampoline one at a time and as the other kids bounced around, the child would just laugh and love it!

All of the children were play fighting with these balloons on sticks. This little guy would hold the sticks between his toes and swing them around. If someone took them away, he'd start to cry! He was having such a good time!

These kids were so precious. It breaks my heart to think of how many children in this world don't have parents to take care of them.
