Ping Pong ATTACK





Posted by Ember Mumaw, Intern

This past Sunday we celebrated birthdays with 3 children and their friends of choice from Saramoldaeva Orphanage. The day began normally with a movie (Narnia), pizza, and cake. Ken went ahead and set up the ping pong table and we did a few round robins before Sara began a game of Spiderman Operation. Artur, usually the last at everything, being the smallest, aced Operation and won everyone’s admiration. Then ping pong merged with keep away in the family room to become a huge game of Monkey-in-the-Middle. It was hilarious as kids and adults alike tackled and teased the “monkey” with a left over ping pong ball. For half an hour it was as if we were all family having a Sunday afternoon together with lots of laughter, teasing, and love. Ping pong will never be the same!
