Gotta start with this — I can’t thank the parents enough for showing up on a Monday, at 5:30. “Oh, could you come out for something that we may not know what the hell we’re doing?”
😂 What are ya thinking buddy.
That’s not a small ask anymore…and still, you all came out, brought the kids, stayed, hung out, ate pizza, helped, talked, and made it something way bigger than we expected. Liana and I were talking on the way home like… ten kids, parents hanging in a small room on a mini ramp, just being present and supportive. LFG 🔥
Also, it wasn’t perfect. I loved that part. The paper dragons were definitely more complicated than we thought 😅 not all of them got finished, there were some hiccups… but that’s what made it. Kids trying something new, a little frustrated, figuring it out, helping each other, glue on their hands (lots), pizza getting stuffed in their faces, just noise and chatter. Like the old days.
It wasn’t about walking out with a perfect dragon, (even though I SO envisioned that happening 🤣) it was more about showing up, trying something hard, and doing it together, parents included. We’ll absolutely run something like this again — maybe a little different, maybe a little more movement — but this was a solid night. Grateful doesn’t even cover it.
P.S. This is the only picture I got because there was a lot going on, and ya know what, that’s ok. Use your imagination as to what went on inside good ol’ Inner Peace tonight 🤣 ☠️ 🤘 🛹
