Barbeque with Starbucks!

Tonight we attended a barbeque with HopeKids sponsored by Starbucks and their Community Service partners. There were so many people and kids. It was located at a local park. This event also was like a carnival for kids. They had a bouncy house, games, crafts, cotton candy, and the best part was--a local K-9 police unit was there! There were two K-9 police dogs, one was a 4-year-old German Shepard and named Qunito and belonged to Sgt. Thomas. This dog finds criminals and Sgt. Thomas stated Quinto's reward is biting them when he finds them. The other K-9 was only a few-months-old and it was his 2nd day on the police force. He was the cutiest puppy, a little blood hound who didn't have a name yet. Raylee, Jorja, and I, all just loved this little puppy and Quinto.

Again, it was great to see the girls play and have fun without any worries. Their laughter is growing and growing, as they begin to transition to a more normal, and better, reality.
