Life with teens requires balance...
school
sports
socialization
studies
the cherishing of childhood
the preparation for adulthood
It's a fun time...
(and a busy one)
as sometimes
we hustle
we grind
we work
and play
(all on the same day)
Check out how...
our son's football combine
doubled as family time!

Planning a road trip?
Los Angeles to Las Vegas
(approx. 270 miles)
Wake early to get on the road before sunrise.
You'll be glad to miss the morning work traffic,
and by the time the sun rises...
Welcome to Vegas, Baby!
Arriving early
allows time to...
allows time to...
settle in
sight see
hang out
before the real work begins
Games
not pictured:
glow-in-the-dark miniature golf
rock climbing, and go-kart racing
I lost those too,
but who's keeping score?

You're free the minute you realize the door
will open if you simply lean into it"

Such sweet memories. My girls are now grown 24,22 and 18 and silly as it seems I miss the old days of traveling with little ones.
ReplyDelete"Dad I have to go potty"
"Why didn't you go before we left"
"I didn't have to go then"
"Are we there yet"
"Mom I think someone needs her diaper changed"
"Don't make me pull this car over!"
My girls also would get car sick so we always had an ice cream with a trash bag in the back of the car.
Treasure those moments because all too soon they will be all "growed" up, married and have a family of their own.
Oh Regina, sweet memories!!!!! Sounds like some familiar conversation exchanges... whew, those days! Makes me smile... makes me cry... makes me thank God for His continued love and grace through it all.
DeleteAmen. God is good. I realized I made a typo in my comment. That should have said ice cream bucket with a trash bag inside.
DeleteFunny thing... I knew exactly what you meant!!
