the children

These last couple of weeks I have played with a lot of children. It is probably one of my favorite ways to spend my time. I will go on a run and see some kids playing outside and join them. Usually I will approach a group of 5 kids, but within a few minutes I will be surrounded by 20-30 children. They seriously just flock to you. They are the most wonderful, energetic, crazy, fun children I have ever met. I have taught them how to do handstands and cartwheels, and they have showed me how to swing from a tree; I have showed them how to play red rover, and they have taught me how to play cat and rat; I taught them how to use a touch screen and they taught me new songs.

This group of children is from the village Navai. I had them follow me into a field and we all played games, sang, danced, and just went  a little crazy. I love the people here so much. And I now know which country I will one day adopt my kid from.
