Today was the last day of my little holiday.
I didn't want to spend the entire day washing all the dirty cottage clothes or cleaning out the fridge.
So I didn't.
This afternoon I told the kiddos to get their suits because we were heading to the splash pad.
I have just realized that it was my first time this summer...
and I want to cry.
I want to cry because I loved every minute of it.
I loved Court talking all...the...way...there.
He talked about Fairy Falls. He asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and suggested I be a Fairy so I could live at Fairy Falls. He learned about Fairy Falls at camp. I love camp.
I loved Charlotte belting out a song over top of Court's ramble about Fairy Falls.
I loved the song she was singing. A Patty Griffin tune which I've added to the playlist below.
It's called Rain.
And I loved that it did just that. We got caught in the downpour and laughed ourselves silly.
I loved the rain.
Sounds utterly wonderful Tara...*sigh8...summer always goes too quick.

ReplyDeleteoh friend, you have so much heart in your posts... so much love for your children. i learn from you. and isn't rain magical? i sense God's tears of joy in it...
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to be a fairy too!! I love a summer downpour at the right time of course. There is nothing better than running out and standing with your arms spread wide ~ I am so glad you topped off your vacation with such a great day.
