Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve given an update. We spent a couple of days in Hilton Head. A big thanks again to Kristie’s parents. The kids had a blast in the ocean, and we stopped at the national zoo in D.C. on the way home.
In other news I started my new job for the Aliquippa Recreation Program. I can’t believe it’s only been 3 days and I have a bag full of stories to tell. The kids have been hounding me. I kind of stand out and I don’t want to hear the name Mr. John anymore, but it’s so rewarding. Yesterday I got myself caught in a game of streetball with the older guys I let them borrow my basketball, and they were unwilling to give it back, so I ended up playing with them until I got the ball back. Which I did. Today we had to round up the kids and take them inside while inmates in prison uniforms came to cut the grass and weedwack. It has been one crazy ride, and it’s only day 3.
