Max was ready to have fun, learn a lot, be amazed, and spend time with people he likes.
Which is exactly what he did!
The volunteers saw him trying to build a tower using all of the blocks, and asked him if he would like to build the tallest tower ever. Of couse, he said yes!
So they helped him, keeping the blocks against the wall, the girl at the bottom lifted some blocks up, then the guy upstairs using the pole would balance them, while Max would put more blocks in the tower.
Markus played Peter Pan but his friend Bryce was too embarrased to dress up. So he was the lighting man instead.
Then they all played store and bought groceries from each other. Fun and free - who could ask for a better day?
