A Day at the Spray Park

Two of my Better Life commandments are "spend more time with my family and friends" and "smell the roses, hear the music".  Today was a great example of both:

My soon-to-be-step-daughters were excited about meeting a friend of theirs from school at a local park today.  Although I have been barely able to keep up with all I have going on professionally and personally, I took them to the park, and I am so glad that I did.  I had a blast!  We were shooting each other with water canons, running through sprinklers that were overhead, and running over sprinklers that shot up from the ground.  The girls and their friend had buckets that they would fill up and spill over my head when I bent down to the hear the secrets they said they needed to tell me.  The smiles on these 6-year old girls' faces were priceless.

Overall, we spent about three hours at the park, and they were the three best hours of my week.  I did not anticipate being there that long, nor did I expect to be soaked, but I wouldn't trade the time I had with the girls today for anything.
