Childhood Innocense



Every month I have the opportunity to hang out with a group of kids while their parents are off having a nice, peaceful getaway. Through my church, Trinity Presbyterian, we offer a "Date Night," where parents can drop off their children and get some time alone. While watching the kids, I can't help but admire the innocence that they all possess. In the first picture one of the boys is beaming with pleasure after he was spun up in a swing by his fellow buddies and then let go to spin about. The smile on his face speaks volumes to how much fun he was truly having. The next image represents the typical, "little rascal" tactics of young children. Both the boys in the second picture are filling shoes with rocks and getting a bit messy. While they were all supposed to keep there shoes on...I couldn't help but admire how adorable they looked while putting rocks in their shoes. The last picture was taken just after eight o'clock and you can tell that the little girl looks a bit on the sleepy side. While she is looking a bit tired, it was nice to see the simplicity of the lives of her and the other babies that we were watching. Although the job of raising kids is one that many adults get tired of at times, it is hard to dismiss the innocent personalities they convey.
