Fun in the Sun
Children, parents and staff members had a grand time when they gathered for outdoor games and a good old-fashioned barbecue at Alverthorpe Park on JDN’s annual Fun Day.
Children seemed unfazed by the summer heat as they lined up for a turn on the moon bounce. Plenty of other activities beckoned on Alverthorpe’s broad, grassy field, and the children took full advantage of the opportunities. There were beach balls, a bean-bag toss, wading pools, crawl-through tunnels and more. A magician regaled the children with his tricks, stories and some silly conversations with a puppet that popped up from his hat.
Volunteers from Whole Foods Market, Jenkintown, joined staff members and board members to grill up hot dogs and burgers and serve fresh fruit donated by the store.
