A few days ago we got a few inches of snow, so I joined the kids in a fun afternoon of snowball fights, snowmen, and building a fort. Because of kids attacking, I was only able to take a couple pictures during the snowball fight…
Min Shik about to toss a shovel full of snow at me… only to have the snow slide off the shovel onto his back
Making snowmen…
The snowman I made with Young Eun and Soo Jin
Yoo Jin’s “Big Lips” snowman…
This is the snowman the boys worked on… they just punched it for a while to shape eyes and a nose… and then lost interest and went back to throwing snowballs at each other. I call it “No Face.”
Here is Young Bae’s “Baby Snowman”
I could hear some of the girls say (in Korean), “I wish father (Pastor Chae) were here to see this.” That cut to my heart, but then Pastor Chae unexpectedly showed up. Praise God! He is usually only able to come to the orphanage on Sundays and Wednesdays because of his many other responsibilities, but he just happened to come by on this day. Here is a picture with him and some of the kids…
Finally, here are the fort builders. They even used boxes to pack the snow in like bricks, and then covered the fort with water from my apartment to ice it.
The past couple days I’ve been ambushed by different kids with snowballs waiting for me to return to my apartment after lunch or dinner. You should see their faces peek out with big grins as they’re waiting for me. Good times.
