Kids Are Kids

Have you ever noticed that kids are just kids. They can have fun with just about anything. Some of the greatest memories of my childhood are the things that I did, just being silly. I want my children to grow up with similar memories, of just having fun and playing outdoors. I remember catching fireflies, making mud pies, swimming, playing in the woods, and jumping on the trampoline. No matter where we live in the world, I want my kids to just grow up just being kids.

So for those of you who may be curious as to how our kids can be kids in Tanzania, here are some pictures.

And Just Having the Chance to Run Around and Be Kids
I encourage mom's everywhere to not let your kids grow up to fast. Don't let others pressure you into thinking that your young children should be acting "grown up" by a certain age. There is a time for school, and there is a time for chores, but there is also a time to
Have fun and Make Memories !!!
