My family and I just got back from a week-long vacation outside of Auburn. (Doesn't everyone go there?! Where have you been? ;-) We were on the shore of a lake and a short 3 minute drive to the community clubhouse (read: SWIMMING POOL!). We had a fantastic time. The thermometer hit 100 (or higher) pretty much every day. That could have been a problem...but with AC, the pond and the pool, it really wasn't.
Our boys LOVE the water. They both had a fantastic time swimming, playing, laughing, and simply having a lot of fun.
It's interesting: now that we're back, both the boys seem older. They both grew up a little in a period of a week. Jaden's swimming skills improved and his confidence grew. Van learned to say "please" (well, actually "peas"--but he wasn't talking about the veggies we used to tell Jaden were "sweet like candy"). Both matured in good ways.
I love these family vacations. Being together with each other (and in this case, good friends) does something to remind me of what's important in life. These relationships that God gives us are invaluable. Vacation this year challenged me to value them more.
