Feeling Parched...

I need to quench my thirst for adventure.

Summer we are SO glad you're here.
We kicked you off with swim lessons and soccer camp the first week.
And a trip to Fish Lake the first weekend.

There is a sense of love and togetherness that is unmatched when we road trip, or picnic, or vacation together.  And these trips, these adventures that afford us time with just the people whom we know as "home" - outside of our normal routine - these are the very best part of life.

These times become the fountain our kids will run to drink from when life leaves them thirsty.  As it will.  Many times over.  Until the grateful rain hits the dry earth and surrounds them in Heavenly smelling soil and sometimes, a beautiful rainbow lit sky.

And they will siphon memories of family and fun when they feel their own well running dry.  So fill it - we will - during these days of childhood summers.

We are T minus ten days before we head out for our family summer vacay.  This past weekend we had the bonus of meeting a few American Heroes and sit in their Blackhawk Chopper.

Their minds were completely blown.
Such a cool little man experience.

I can't wait for all the memories we will log together.
