Hockey is the new love of Bush Boy’s life. He spent some of his precious savings on a road hockey stick, which he takes to school everyday so that he can play in the ongoing game at recess. 30 kids, from Grade 1-6, all playing outside on the cement. So far no major conflicts or injuries, and everyday some very happy, well played-out kids.
So the other day I wasn’t too surprised to see this on my coffee table:
There was a matching goal and goalie at the other end.
Cardboard is a prime building source around here!
Rocks, Waves, Beach

Great!
The recess pick-up game sounds so fun…in grade 11 we did the same thing only with skipping. AMAZING. There were only nine of us in the class, 3 boys, 6 girls, and every one of us figured out double-dutch that year. We were so good at it. Don’t know why they bothered making us do PE at all, that semester!

That’s amazing and so great that 30 kids can play without conflict or injury!! And Bushboy continues to impress me with his ability to ‘make’ his fun! Seems you are raising an incredible kid!

I love that photo. And the fact that all those kids can play together in peace and harmony.
