Growing up, “The Res” was a place that teenagers hung out and did drugs after hours. Turns out that the reservoirs in neighboring towns around here are actually pretty nice, and great places for families during the day on the weekends

Yesterday was a lazy day filled with rain and thunderstorms, tv and lazing about. Today we made some memories. I took a lot of pictures, we splashed in the water, we made a great sand castle with a moat.

Sure, we were an hour behind schedule getting there. We dawdled a little in Target. We all have sand in unmentionable places, and we didn’t manage to take naps. That stuff doesn’t matter; it’s not what we’ll remember. We’ll remember laughing. We’ll remember playing on the playground. We’ll remember trying to make a moat around our sand castle. We’ll remember the sprinkler. We’ll remember swimming with Daddy and splashing with Mommy.

Good times.
