Every child was adventurous and tried this new sport-
and many of them were surprising good for their first time!

Kebru was folding his laundry and found an apron accidently
mixed in with his clothes…
so he went ahead and decided to walk around laughing
and showing off the apron. These kids have quite the sense of humor!

The kids sang at Sherwood Park Baptist Church on Sunday and
afterwards enjoyed lots of laughs with Pastor Steve!
