Fantastic Time With the Finks- Day 5 of Fall Break

Ugh! No camera shots here today. I think starting it off with a dead battery kind of got my thinking off. Regardless of photos, or lack of, today was worth documenting here on our blog. Today we played with the Finks; Lara, Justin, and Alyssa. Baylee and Alyssa mostly crafted (big surprise) and Nathan, Justin, and Owen went out back and played baseball. Nathan idolizes Justin and his athletic abilities.

Afterwards, the Kempiak Party of Five walked to the greenbelt to play baseball more. Two hours later (yikes), Nathan is much more skilled than what he started off. Never the less, his confidence is huge. He’s not lacking in that department!

Also today was really neat for Jon. He, along with his company, closed down work and went to a “lower income” school in Mesa to do some outdoor renovations, including the playground. A new baseball diamond was made, murals painted, trees planted, trash picked up, and much much more. Jon’s job was hauling rock in a will barrow for 5 hours. Needless to say, his body is aching tonight! His next time doing it is December 16th. Hopefully I won’t have problems with my car and I can actually get photos of this amazing service project.
