On of Hudson's favorite places to go is The Refinery at Saddleback Church. On Fridays, we attend Kiddie Gym here, and on Tuesdays, Brandon takes him to play basketball and run around. The Refinery was built for the youth of the church, as well as the community. The building itself is beautiful and was made with mostly recycled materials. Inside are 2 basketball courts, pool tables, ping pong, video games, foosball, flat screen TVs, cafes, etc. Outside is a sand volleyball court, waterfall, BBQs and skateboard/BMX ramps. If I were in high school, I would be hanging out here all the time! :) Hudson is too young for a lot of the things offered, but he still loves running around, pushing the button for the elevator, and playing basketball. We are so grateful for such a cool place, just a few miles from home! Oh, and by the way... Hudson knows the way to church. As soon as we make a right at the light down the hill from home, he gets really excited. And down the street from church, he starts saying "Yay! Ba-goo-goo!" (This can be problematic if I need to make a LEFT and go grocery shopping...)
