"I Wanna Be Like Mike"

      Last Friday—or as I like to call it Fun Friday—was indeed a blast.  It was one of my favorite days at PTM because it allowed me to feel like a kid again.  The Junior High had spent all week at Camp Barefoot and was kind enough to allow Summer SaLT to use the Calvin House on Friday.  Jessie and I decided that we would watch a movie and let the kids just hang out the rest of the time.  Jessie picked up a few movies the night before and we chose to watch Like Mike; however, there was no DVD in the box.  We then proceeded to find the movie online and through process of elimination were able to hook up the computer and speakers from a different computer to the TV (pictured above). It was crazy for me to watch one of my favorite childhood movies—which came out in 2002—and have the majority of the kids love it as much as I do.   There were ten of us watching, nine kids plus me, and we somehow managed to eat ten bags of popcorn.   The kids ate lunch and then proceeded to run wild in the game room and outside playing basketball.   The game room features pool, air hockey, foosball, and a mini basketball hoop.   Joy, who just came back from a week of visiting family before she moves to Hawaii for mission work at the end of the summer, made the kids cleanup the Calvin House because there was popcorn crumbs everywhere.  We finished the day devouring Haley’s, another Turner Fellow, funfetti cookies and cupcakes that she made for us.
