This week is the kids' spring break. Most people picture spending spring break somewhere warm like Mexico or California. We are having quite the opposite experience. We have had hail almost every day and temperatures dipping down into the thirties. (This just also happened to be while standing outside at one of many of Manuel's rained out baseball games)
I was determined to not let Mother Nature get in the way of our
not so fun-filled week and decided we would go on a hike regardless of the few sprinkles that were falling from the sky. Long story short, the sprinkles became torrential downpours, which became hail...which combined with steep hills and a stroller filled with 50lbs of now cold, wet kids...well, you can only imagine. Once back in the car with heat blasting and little red hands tucked underneath coats to heat them up, Gage piped out enthusiastically. "That fun, Mom!" and this is why I love Gage. While all we "saw" was a hike turned disaster, Gage saw...
And to him, that was the best day ever! If only we could always see the little things that bring us joy regardless of our situation and declare life to be so fun!
