The last minutes before my home erupts in frantic excitement, anticipation, and crazy work. Today's the first day of our annual trip to the lake. The lake -- where I've gone since I was eight. Where it's more about memories then agendas.
And right now, my family is still sleeping.
I know that once the first one wakes it will be like dominoes falling -- one racing to tell another -- who will hear the others -- who will run around excited and want to share. I love that one of my fondest childhood memories is now one of my childrens' favorite memories. There's beauty in that bond.
So, I might not be around as much the next week. I'll be resting, and laughing, and playing games, and fishing, and swimming, and eating, and being joyful. This trip? My fave.
Have a fabulous Fourth of July, my blogging friends!
