Babies at supermarket Babies at the supermarket I went with 12 babies to the supermarket. I work in an orphanage as volunteer for 8 years. This year I wanted to do something different with the babies because they are always in their bedrooms or in the same house all the time. All the days are the same, so I wanted to give them a different experience, something exciting and at the same time educational for them. 2 volunteers and I went with 12 babies of 15 months. I was wondering how to keep them safe, so we grabbed 3 shopping carts and put 4 babies inside each car. We entered the supermarket. The babies were impressed and the rest of the people as well. Their little eyes so opened trying to catch everything, the lights, the things, the people, the smells, oh so cute! I went straight onto the fruit and vegetables section and pretending be a teacher, I grabbed the fruits and told them the name of the fruit letting them smell it. It was funny because they tried to repeat the word and repeat it several times. For them were exciting grabbing different shades, colors, smells. Awesome Suddenly came a woman. She introduced herself very nicely, “Good morning, my name is Mary and I am the Supervisor, I am very glad to have you guys in the store and we want to thank you with this gifts”, she had 12 beautiful bags for the babies and inside there were some drink, healthy cookies, 1 diaper, and a little bottle of milk. All the babies grabbed their bags. Then the nice Supervisor called her friend and told her to bring the balloons. The babies let go of the bags immediately and fought between themselves to grab a balloon, they wanted all the balloons of the supermarket. I made a recess and give them some drink and food. The last isle was the dog food, they saw different bag of food with pictures of dogs on them, they love dogs so they were very happy. The trip was ending, they were exhausted because all they see, so we return to the car and in the way I found the Supervisor and her assistant who wanted to say good bye to the babies, and told me came back whenever you want but before call to be prepared with more gifts. We exchange phone numbers and say good bye.

PART TWO:

Suddenly came a woman came. She introduced herself very nicely, “Good morning, my name is Mary and I am the Supervisor. I am very glad to have you guys in the store and we want to thank you with this these gifts”. She had 12 beautiful bags for the babies and inside there were some drinks, healthy cookies, a diaper, and a little bottle of milk. All the babies grabbed their bags. Then the nice Supervisor called her friend and told her to bring the balloons. The babies let go of the bags immediately and fought between themselves to grab a balloon, they wanted all the balloons in of the supermarket. I made a recess [I'm not sure what you mean here. We might say, "we took a break." "Recess" is a more formal event, usually.] and give gave them some drink and food. [I can't explain why, but we say "food and drink" rather than drink and food. If you want to say drink first, then we'd say, "some drinks and some food." or "something to drink and some food."


The last aisle was for dog food, they saw different bags of food with pictures of dogs on them. They love dogs so they were very happy. The trip was ending, and they were exhausted because of all they see saw, so we returned to the car and inon the way I found the Supervisor and her assistant who wanted to say goodbye to the babies, and they told me came "come back whenever you want but before call first so that we can be prepared with more gifts. We exchanged phone numbers and say said good bye.

Babies at the supermarket

DUE TO THE CHARACTER RESTRICTIONS, I'LL DO THIS IN TWO PARTS. PART
I went with 12 babies [Usually "baby" would mean someone younger than these children. Maybe they were "toddlers" or just small children.]  to the supermarket. I have worked work in an orphanage as a volunteer for 8 years. [I have volunteered at an orphanage for 8 years.]  This year I wanted to do something different with the babies because they are always in their bedrooms or in the same house all the time. [You do not need to say "always" and also "all the time."] All the days are the same, so I wanted to give them a different experience, something exciting and at the same time educational for them. 2 volunteers and I went with 12 fifteen-month-old babies of 15 months. I was wondering how to keep them safe, so we grabbed 3 shopping carts and put 4 babies inside each cart. 

We entered the supermarket. The babies were impressed and the rest of the people as well. [The babies were impressed AS WERE the rest of the people.]  Their little eyes so opened so much trying to catch everything: the lights, the things, the people, the smells, oh so cute! I went straight onto the fruit and vegetables section and pretendingpretended to be a teacher. I grabbed the fruits and told them the name of the fruit letting them smell it. [If it's one piece of fruit, then, "I grabbed a piece of fruit and told them its name, letting them smell it." If it's several pieces of fruit, then "I grabbed some fruit and told them the names of the fruits, letting them smell them.]  It was funny because they tried to repeat and repeat the the word and repeat it several times. For them were  it was exciting grabbing ["to grab" would be better grammar] different shades, colors, smells [normally, we don't grab smells. ;-) ]. Awesome
