Just got back from the playground and waterpark at Langley Events Center and both kids promptly fell asleep!
Had the most amazing time today. It was your average sunny summer day. But I've been complaining about summer lately - kids don't sleep enough, our routine is shot, it's too hot, they're cranky, I'm cranky blah blah blah.
Then we have this exquisite afternoon as I watch my son run through the water spray, shrieking and jumping with joy. Just an average summer day, but it totally reminded me of why I loved summer so much when I was a kid and how important it is to me to give my children this experience of summer. And how lucky I am to not have to work just for this one golden summer.
I once read a book entitled 'What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day'. I don't remember the book being all that, but I really loved the title. I would call today 'What Looks Like Joy on an Ordinary Day"! :)
Heading to Kits pool tomorrow!

The ying and the yang of summer. Balance. Hot weather and cool water. Perfect. I love the image of Ryan shrieking for joy. So glad to see you soaking up the moment as he soaked up the cool water on his warm skin...
