When the going gets tough...the tough go SWIMMING!

With all the tensions at church, mold and illnesses at home, and the general all around stress of the daily grind, we decided we needed a little time out to play as a family. Jim Burns in his book, 10 Steps to a Happy Family, suggests that a healthy family does this. (Excellent book by the way. We also met Jim at a retreat he spoke at and enjoyed visiting with him. He has a new book coming out in July on Creating an Intimate Marriage that we are going to go through as well)


We are blessed to live in an area that has 3 water parks! Being off-season and a weeknight, the rates were lower than usual and with no school today it made a perfect time to take advantage! We are so glad we did!

Water fights with hoses, sliding down water slides, tubing down the "river" and splashing through the "rapids", followed by a dip in the outdoor hot tub made a picture perfect night!

What a treasure this moment is! It's definately a night we will always remember.


I love you more than words can say my precious family!
