Summer Fun with Cousins

Ava loves it!  Kennedy doesn't.

Jennifer and Max.  Tafta and Ava.

Max and Kennedy


Bridget found a great place for birthday parties last year.  It's Kid City at Shreveport Community Center.  But even better is the free indoor playscape there.  It is large and suitable for children 2 to 12.  Last week in the hottest part of the day, I took Chase and Connor there to get them some playtime away from the television.  They climbed and played for several hours, while Kennedy and I sat in the attached Starbucks Cafe and had a Cafe Latte.  Kennedy didn't have the Latte, just me.

Max, Kennedy and Ava.  Oh no! Kennedy has lost her bow.
I told my niece, Tafta, about it and she told her cousin, Jennifer.  Tafta has 2 girls, Audrey and Ava and Jennifer has a son, Max.  So today, we all met there.  The kids had a great time playing together in a cool environment and the Grammy and Mothers enjoyed sitting in comfort drinking Starbucks treats of our choice.

Kennedy, being only 10 months old, is having some difficulty expressing her fondness for her cousin Ava.  The following is a video of Tafta explaining to Ava that "love hurts"; after Kennedy has a rather aggressive display of affection for her cousin.  I fear that as Ava becomes a young women, she may need therapy.

Connor takes time out from climbing for a photo shoot.

It it truly amazing that there is a place like this that is FREE.  Thank you Shreveport Community Church!
