Just spent the morning at the pool with a handful of moms, a couple of handfuls of kids, and some gorgeous mountain scenery. It doesn't get any better than that. This was my first experience and I quickly realized I had a lot to learn. Each mom was ready for an entire day of fun complete with picnic baskets, toys, and floats for the little ones. We had only brought a couple of snacks and a towel.
As I watched all the children quickly becoming friends, I thought to myself "now this is family". Days like these are the reason I want to stay home with my daughter while I can. When talking about playing with our kids, one mom commented "Isn't that why we have kids?" I admit, I get bored just doing the kid things sometimes, but that's what parenting is all about.
I'm now determined to cherish these everyday adventures even more. Cliche I know, but I want to find joy in the simple things in life.
