By now I'm pretty sure everyone knows I love
respite care. We had another chance to try something new with them and it was awesome. We had a Saturday evening to take over the
Kroc Center in South Omaha. I'd never been there before but it is an amazing place. We had dinner then had free run of the gym for just the respite families. Parker played basketball for over an hour. For being such a runt, the little man can really dribble a full size ball. They were both beyond thrilled their best friend Elaina was there. Payton and her spent a good chunk of time running around the gym, pretending to be turtles and whatever else 3 year old girls do when they're not into playing ball. We will definitely be checking out some other stuff at the Kroc Center.
CRCC has two sites in town. The beautiful building the twins go to, and another in the southwest part of the city. They had a groundbreaking last week. Read this article about two of the kids CRCC serves and what great thing they did to help get the new building.
