Vacation

The first day of vacation was off to a rocky start. The kids were fighting and the parents weren't doing much better. But, after that first 24 hours things perked up. And after watching Daner sort through Grandpa Ron's fishing tackle box with him for an hour, and after watching Grandma Kris playing with the kids at the park, the mother of the pack decided it was time to let go of stress and enjoy herself. She constantly reminds herself to "live in the moment" as clique as it sounds, she has learned that it works. Live in the moment. Hug and kiss the kids. Make homemade play-doh. Make stupid crafts that have no point other than the process itself. Drink a beer at 3:00 in the afternoon. Play in the sand. Read a book. Don't plan on the day before it even starts...just live.
