At one point there were eleven children among our four families (ten of them under the age of seven). The ratio of parents to small children necessitated a plan.

We found out, like with just about everything else we do, that we needed to be very intentional with our plans for the kids.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ericscholten.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7308051&amp;post=68&amp;subd=ericscholten&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
