After dinner tonight, the kids were bored. It had been a quiet weekend in our neighbourhood with lots of people away, as it is often the case in the deep of summer. The kids didn't know what to do and didn't like any of our suggestions.
We went to stand outside our house. Our neighbours/friends who had been away and had just come back came out to say hi to us. Then another family who had been away also arrived and joined the group.
We took the all the kids to the park and started to play Hit the Kid with the Ball, a game that the dads on the street invented. The objective is for the grown ups to hit all the kids with a ball as the kids run across the climbers. Not the safest game, but lots of fun.
As we were playing, our other neighbour/friends who live by the park arrived. Then a couple of other kids who were at the park joined in. Before we knew it, the climbers were filled with laughing, running kids.
A summer Sunday evening when the park was ours.
