How to Slow Down and Gear Up For a Great Summer

It was two summers ago and we thought our family visiting would like the water park for some afternoon fun. I surprised myself when I said I'd try the slide, the high one, the very high one.
After the first ride, I was ready for all the slides - never laughed so much. It was the feeling of being a kid again that made it so memorable.

There's something about summer that lends itself to doing things you just don't do the rest of the year.
Like now, for instance, I am sitting on our porch writing this blog. The breeze is swaying outside, birds are chirping, just came back from a walk and I'm ready for a summertime kind of day.
