A Perfect Afternoon...

I took the day off yesterday and made plans to bring my three-year old to this little water park not far from my house. I packed up all the necessities and we started driving as the storm clouds rolled in. I was determined it was going to work out and pressed on. I'm so glad we did because? This:


These rings were spraying water in the middle.
Fountain!
Spraying the big kids!
The view.
Thoroughly wrinkled toes post water park.
Passed out on the ride home.
Of course I worried about his skin so much that I forgot about my own!
We spent hours splashing in the water. It was the first time in ages I allowed myself not to worry about all the "things" that were waiting for me to do after. There was no rushing or counting down with the clock. In fact, I didn't look at the time until we were leaving.

I did have a few moments when we were playing where tears crept up. It made me realize how much I was missing out on while the hours tick by and I sit behind a desk all week long. Weekends are reserved for chores or lounging anymore and so I know I'm missing out on all this fun. 

I have to have more days like this. It's a must.
