Salida Grande

Parque, anyone? You betcha. Each semester we take our club classes on a field trip. We decided to go to the park for an afternoon away from the neighborhood that these kids live in. The park is only about 10 minutes away, but most of the kids have only been there 2-3 times in their lives and they are 9 and 10 years old.

The field trips have been a great time to have fun with the kids and see them have fun with each other. It is a great way to build relationships with them and encourage them. We played on the playground a while, had a picnic and then we had some good games of baseball and kickball (which I should know how to say in spanish, but I don't). Oh and of course we played some "fut" or "soccer" which is a the sport of choice here in Mexico. We have two more field trips coming up. One tomorrow, October 27th and one November 10th. If you think about it pray for our time together as well as safety and order.
