Kids playing with rocks (or sand, dirt, sticks, sea shells, etc) is one of the oldest ways children could use their imaginations.

As i walked another 30-40 feet past the cups, i turned and captured one last photo, inspired by the dilapidated basketball net.

 

When do we stop playing with rocks?

Maybe 2nd or 3rd grade?

Why?

Always Hungry?

Human’s get hungry several times each day. No brainer, right?

The kids commented on the furry animal toys which are the current give-away.

“So real, it’s almost, real.”

Unexplainably, I immediately thought about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit – about Faith.

So real, it’s almost, real.
